Quick answer
Outline
Annotated outline: a storm service page
Below is an outline for a fictional company, Ridgeway Roofing, serving three counties. The notes explain what each section is for.
| Section | Example content | Why it's there |
|---|---|---|
| Heading | Storm damage roof repair in [the counties Ridgeway serves] | States service and real territory plainly |
| What we do after storms | Inspection, tarping, repair, replacement | Only services the crews actually perform |
| How a storm inspection works | Steps, what's photographed, what the customer receives | Answers the first question homeowners ask |
| Response and scheduling | How requests are prioritized; current availability, updated during busy periods | Sets honest expectations |
| Areas served | The real list of counties or towns | Matches the Business Profile service area |
| Recent storm work | Real projects with photos and town | Evidence the company has done this work |
| Insurance questions | "Contact your insurer about coverage" | Avoids giving claims or legal advice |
| Contact | Phone and form, with hours | Clear next step |
Truth checks
Coverage, capacity and response checks
- Every town named is one your crews will actually travel to.
- "24/7" or "emergency" appears only if someone really answers and acts at those times.
- Response language reflects peak-demand reality, not quiet-week speed.
- Services listed (tarping, board-up, gutters) are ones you provide or arrange.
- No offices or addresses shown in towns where you have no real location.
Don't advise on insurance coverage, claims or legal matters. Suggest homeowners contact their insurer or a qualified professional.
Proof
Real project proof to collect
- Before and after photos, with customer permission where the home is identifiable.
- Town or area, month and type of damage.
- What was done: temporary protection, repair or replacement.
- Materials used and any notes useful to a future customer.
Workflow
Before, during and after a storm period
| Phase | Page and profile updates |
|---|---|
| Before the season | Review the page, areas and contact details; add last season's projects |
| During | Update availability or scheduling notes truthfully; keep the profile hours accurate |
| After | Add completed project write-ups; remove temporary notices; review what customers asked |
One durable page kept current is usually better than a new page for every storm. Repeated storm-city doorway pages tend to be thin and can mislead customers about where you work.
Analytics
Interpreting storm-spike analytics
- Compare against the same period last year and against weather events, not against a quiet month.
- Separate storm queries from routine service queries so a spike doesn't hide a decline elsewhere.
- Track how many storm inquiries became inspections and jobs, since spikes can bring out-of-area or low-fit calls.
- Expect the spike to fade; that is demand returning to normal, not lost rankings.
