Any effective roofing marketing campaign must include a call to action or a message that leads the customer to complete the final goal. These messages can be anything from “find out more” to “call now” and clearly state the goal you want the viewer to complete.
Once the viewer completes the online goal, it’s called a conversion. In roofing, most calls to action encourage the viewer to call or to click to set an appointment. Sometimes, it can even lead them to learn more about a service, brand, or product.
Qualities of an Effective Roofing Call To Action
Calls to action are one of the most undervalued aspects of search engine marketing. They can be used within content marketing as well as pay-per-click advertising. They can also be in marked-up structured data to appear as rich snippets on search results.
The effectiveness of your roofing call to action heavily influences your website’s conversion rate optimization and, ultimately, the success of your online marketing campaign. A strong call to action appeals to the viewer by having these strong qualities:
- Clear Goal: Define an explicit action for your viewer to complete.
- Accurate and Informative: Use only tested and data-driven information.
- Create Urgency: Prompt swift action by your viewer.
- Visual Appeal: Calls to action work best when they are pleasing to the eye.
- Responsive in Design: The call to action is viewable and clickable from all devices.
Without the accumulation of data to properly test and measure projected performance, crafting the perfect call to action can be difficult, if not impossible. The good news is Roofing Webmasters has years of data accumulated to help develop calls to action for each of our clients.
We understand what your target audience responds to and have the numbers to prove it. Running a full-time roofing company takes up most of your time, so delegating marketing responsibilities to a trusted source is best.
Call to Action Placement For Roofing Websites
Your primary roofing website isn’t the only place a call to action will be present, but it is undoubtedly one of the most important, if not the most important. In fact, research indicates that placing calls to action towards the beginning of your roofing page or post can increase conversion rates by up to 45 percent.
The same applies to placing calls to action in meta descriptions, which users will preview before entering your website. At Roofing Webmasters, we utilize click-to-call functionality as one of our many calls to action.
Because these calls to action are placed directly in the page content, they produce proven benefits such as:
- Diversity: Exists in more than one place
- Immediate Appearance: Visible immediately
- Natural Content Flow: Unforced and adheres to Google Quality Guidelines
PPC ads will also display calls to action along with their corresponding landing pages. Roofing Webmasters never violates Google Quality Guidelines and continually enhances the user experience rather than obstructing it. Our research allows us to publish calls to action that are effective and organic.
Our website design team seamlessly inputs calls to action within the headers and footers of each roofing website, while the content team places them within the page or posts text along with meta descriptions.
