Meta Lead Ads for Roofing: Lead Forms vs Landing Pages (Which Gets Better Leads?)

Roofing advertisers argue about this all the time:

“Lead forms are junk.”

Sometimes that’s true. Often it’s not.

Lead quality is rarely about the form itself — it’s about:

• what you promise (offer),
• how you qualify,
• and how fast you follow up.

This guide helps you choose the right conversion path and build a lead system that produces booked inspections.

When lead forms work best

Lead forms work best when:

• you want volume quickly
• you can respond fast (SMS + call)
• you’re okay filtering after capture

Lead forms struggle when:

• follow-up is slow
• the offer is vague
• there are no qualifier questions

---

When landing pages win

Landing pages usually win when:

• you have strong proof (photos, reviews, licensing)
• you can answer calls quickly
• you want higher intent

Landing pages struggle when:

• the page is slow or generic
• the CTA isn’t clear
• mobile experience is weak

The “right answer” for many roofers

Many roofing teams do best with:

• lead forms for storm damage inspection volume, and
• landing pages for replacement quotes (higher intent).

Run both, but keep them in separate campaigns.

The only 3 form questions you need

1. “What do you need?” (Storm / Repair / Replacement)
2. “City or zip code”
3. “Urgency” (ASAP / This week / This month)

That filters a surprising amount of noise.

Landing page checklist (mobile-first)

Above the fold:

• service + city
• click-to-call
• photo report / no-pressure offer

Proof:

• reviews
• license/insured note (if true)
• project photos

Form:

• name, phone, address, service type

---

Follow-up (non-negotiable)

Minimum system:

• instant text
• call within 5 minutes when possible
• 2 polite follow-ups over 48 hours

If you do this, lead forms stop feeling “junk.”
