Landing commercial roofing clients via google business - anyone cracking this nut?

Man, trying to get into commercial jobs like strip mall re-roofs with GAF systems, but Google Business Profile ain't delivering like it should. Spent $500 on optimizing it last month and got zilch in leads. Feels like we're invisible to the big fish compared to residential shingle swaps.

How do you even set up the profile for commercial searches specifically?

Same here, google business is a tease for us roofers.

Just bid on a warehouse roof through it after 6 months of nothing lol.

FML, google promised the world and delivered squat for my crews last quarter.

SharkBite for roofs? Nah, but google's the real scam.

Those PE vultures buying up roofing firms are killing small ops like us.

Google favors the big boys now, we're screwed.

My last commercial chase ended in a lowball from a chain, google didn't warn me.

Relate, spent weeks on a mall roof quote only to get undercut.

Use JobNimbus integration with google, bumped my inquiries 20%.

20% sounds solid, what's your setup like?

Damn google algo changes hit us hard, lost two school roof bids.

Schools are the worst, always going cheapest bid.

PE firms are circling like sharks, eating our commercial lunch.

Heard in Roofing Pros group they're snapping up every decent roofer.

Same rage, can't compete with their war chests.

Target local chambers, skip google BS - landed a $80k office re-roof that way.

Chambers worked for me too on a factory job.

Hit $300k in commercial this year by ditching google for direct outreach.

Owens Corning commercial warranty upsell seals the deal every time.

Warranties are key, but clients still ghost.

Guy in The Contractor Fight said google's dead for trades now.

Cold calls to property managers got me three strip centers last month.

Property managers? Share your script?

Google's review game favors fakes, we're legit and buried.

Fakes and bots, total crapshoot.

Laughed when a client said they found us via google - turns out it was yelp.

Add service videos to your profile, like standing seam installs.

Videos helped my residential but commercial still dry.

Insurance hikes killing margins on those big roofs anyway.

Margins suck, yeah, but volume makes up.

PE rollups promising the moon but screwing workers.

Screwing everyone but their execs.

Man, this grind for commercial leads is exhausting.

Exhausting and thankless.

Optimize for 'commercial roofing contractor' exact match.

Exact match did zilch for my TPO jobs.

Buddy in Roofing Contractors FB group landed a mall via google ads tie-in.

Ads cost a fortune though.

Shingling small roofs pays better than chasing commercial ghosts.

Ghosts indeed, bid on five this month, zero wins.

Those rollup firms are hoarding all the commercial action.

Hoarding and undercutting with cheap labor.

Underpaying crews too, seen it firsthand.

Same old story, us independents get the shaft.

Shafted again on a warehouse bid to a PE outfit.

Tommy Mello rants about this on his IG, spot on.

Ran a quick google audit on my profile, fixed the categories.

Categories matter, switched to commercial roofing and saw a uptick.

Uptick? Like how many leads?

PE destroying the mom and pops in roofing.

Destroying and consolidating, no mercy.

No mercy for the little guy.

Client thought our google pic was stock photo, hilarious fail.

Don't touch commercial without a solid lawyer on retainer.

Lawyer saved my ass on a delayed payment last year.

Payments always the headache in big jobs.
