Wellington · Roofers · one pro per suburb
Website design & SEO for roofers in Wellington.
You are a roofer in Wellington, and the search that wins you work is not “Roofers Wellington” — that one is a budget war with every franchise with a media spend. It is “roofer te aro”, typed by someone who needs a roofer ten minutes ago. We build the suburb pages that put you in that second conversation — Johnsonville to Thorndon first — and the site, the content and every Wellington enquiry stay yours.

The ground you work
The Wellington map, suburb by suburb.
Wellington is 16 suburbs of different ground, and each one searches differently. A compact capital built on hills and hollows, where a southerly decides tomorrow’s call-out list. The suburb page for Te Aro talks about Longrun re-roofs; the one for Kilbirnie talks about leaking lead flashings. Both are true, and neither works as the other.
Wellington demand concentrates around the CBD fringe and the hill suburbs, where access and parking shape which tradespeople get called. Wellington job mix leans toward weather-tightness, heating and quake-era compliance work on older hillside homes.
Hillside villas from the 1900s to 1930s, many earthquake-strengthened, with services that predate modern standards. Southerly storms drive emergency leak and gutter work, while the constant wind keeps exterior maintenance on a cycle. Those two facts shape most of the roofing work booked in Wellington.

What you get
What a roofer's Wellington website actually needs.
Scaffolding answer, up front
The first objection a homeowner raises is scaffolding: access, height, edge protection, whether it is in your price. Answer it on the page and they never ring a second roofer.
Colour and profile gallery
Every Longrun colour you have laid, photographed on a real house with the suburb named. Owners shortlist against the roof next door, not against a supplier swatch in a showroom.
Leak-triage booking form
Where the stain sits, when it appeared, tile or tray, one photo from the garden. You quote properly and turn up carrying lead flashing instead of guessing on a ladder.
Safety credentials, published
Architects and commercial subbies check your Working at Heights training, harness practice and site plans before they invite a tender — homeowners never think to ask.
Roofing schema, done right
LocalBusiness and Service markup with your Wellington service areas — Te Aro, Newtown, Karori and 13 more — so Google understands exactly where you work and what you offer.

Local search
The Wellington rankings that turn into jobs.
Nobody in Wellington types a slogan into Google. They type a job and a place, and the site that matches both wins the call — which is the whole method behind our SEO for roofers here. Wellingtoners type suburb names and street landmarks; the CBD term barely converts compared to “in Newtown” or “in Miramar”.
Repair versus re-roof pages
Two different searches with two different budgets. “Te Aro roof repair” wants a same-week fix and a scaffolding answer; “re-roof cost” wants a Longrun-versus-tile comparison and a twenty-year number.
Profile and pitch specifics
Minimum pitches are content: corrugate at five degrees, tray at three, membrane below that, tile on new battens. Naming profiles like that tells Google and any builder reading you know the job.
Insurance-claim search capture
After a hail front or a nor-west blow, owners type “roof damage insurance claim”. One page with dated photos and a claim-assistance line takes those searches while every phone is jammed.
Maintenance retainer keywords
Nobody bids on “spouting clear Te Aro”, and re-screwing Longrun fixings is barely searched at all — which is exactly why a retainer page converts. Small volume, nil competition, recurring revenue.
The first four of the Wellington searches we would be building you: “Roofer Te Aro”, “Longrun re-roofs Newtown”, “leaking lead flashings Karori”, “continuous-run spouting Miramar”.
From Te Aro out to Berhampore, that is the brief every roofers page for Wellington is written against.
Promo
Promo that keeps Wellington noticing you.
Publishing the site is the start, not the finish. What keeps roofers visible in Wellington is a monthly rhythm of small, local moves — a new suburb page, a Google Business post, a batch of reviews — landing where the demand already is: Te Aro, Miramar and every suburb between them.
A fresh suburb write-up
One more Wellington suburb owned, or one roofing job explained properly — every month.
A Business Profile post
Dated to autumn leaf-blocked spouting and February ex-cyclone wind events, so the post lands while the demand is live rather than a week after it.
Reviews and directory fixes
Reviews asked for after the work, then a sweep of your listings so the map pack, the directories and the site all show one name and one number.
The process
Three steps to unmissable in Wellington.
Map your Wellington patch
We pull the suburbs Wellington residents actually search for roofers in, rank them by demand versus competition, and pick the ones you can own. Wellingtoners type suburb names and street landmarks; the CBD term barely converts compared to “in Newtown” or “in Miramar”.
Build the engine
The engine goes in next — suburb pages for Te Aro, Newtown and Karori, a fast mobile-first build, Google Business tuned to match, roofing schema and a review flow. Typically live inside seven days.
Compound monthly
After launch the compounding starts: more suburb pages across Wellington, more roofing jobs written up, more reviews landing through autumn leaf-blocked spouting and February ex-cyclone wind events. Each month Te Aro through Berhampore gets harder for the next roofer to win.
The opening page set
Wellington, Te Aro, Newtown: three pages, named.
No fake numbers, no borrowed testimonials. What you see below is the opening page set for Wellington, each one named after the suburb it has to win.
A Te Aro page targeting “roofer Te Aro”
A page that opens on Longrun re-roofs in Te Aro, names the local detail correctly, and puts tap-to-call above the fold.
A Newtown page targeting “leaking lead flashings Newtown”
Written for Newtown rather than for Wellington in general — which is exactly the difference a local reader notices.
An emergency page for storm uplift lifting a ridge cap while the ceiling starts weeping
Answer-first for the panicked search: what has gone wrong, what it costs, how soon you can be at the door.
The usual questions
Wellington questions. Straight answers.
Is a maintenance page worth it when re-roofs pay in Wellington?
It funds the quiet months. Spouting clears and moss treatment are small, fast and cash-positive, and every one of them puts you in the roof space before the owner notices a leak — where the re-roof conversation actually starts.
How do we show insurance work without naming insurers in Wellington?
Describe the process, not the companies: dated photos before stripping, a scope your assessor accepts, interim make-safe and drying, then the finished profile. Assessors and owners both read the same page, and they want different reassurances.
Do you cover the Hutt Valley and Porirua too?
The core build targets Wellington city suburbs — Te Aro to Johnsonville, Island Bay to Miramar. Hutt and Porirua areas can be added as their own pages once the city pages are ranking, so each area keeps its own proof and keywords.
Does the wind and hill terrain change what the site should say?
Yes, and that is the point. Pages that mention southerly storm damage, hillside access and villa-era services match what Wellingtoners actually type, and match what you can actually deliver on a wet Tuesday.
How long before a roofer site works in Wellington?
Expect the first real movement inside 4–12 weeks, and expect it in the suburbs rather than the city name. “roofer Wellington” is a fight with every franchise; “roofer Te Aro” is a page most of them will never write, which is why Te Aro and Newtown land first.
How is the price for a roofer website worked out?
By coverage, not by guesswork: how many Wellington suburbs you want owning, and how much roofing work each page has to explain. You get the number in writing after the free local review — fixed, with no commission on leads and no lock-in afterwards.
What happens each month after the site goes live?
Four routine things, all local to Wellington: one new suburb page or roofing job explained properly, one Google Business post, one review-request batch, and a check that your listings all show one name and one number. It is timed around that, not around a fixed calendar.
Do you take a cut of the work you send me?
Never. Wellington enquiries land with you directly; we are paid for building and promoting the site, not for the jobs it wins. That is also why a core suburb goes to a roofer only — a shared patch would be worth far less to both.
