Can the video show both roof inspections and completed work?

Yes, if the Google Business Profile contains photos that clearly support both stages. The sequence can move from visible damage or inspection activity to completed shingles, flashing, vents or cleanup. If the listing only has finished roofs, the video should not imply that it captured an inspection process that is not shown.

What if my roofing photos are weaker than my reviews?

Lead with the rating, review count and a specific review snippet, then use the clearest finished-work photos as supporting evidence. This fits many roofing profiles, where local customer proof is more distinctive than several similar roof images. Close crops and clear captions can help viewers understand what each job photo demonstrates.

Can it use my opening hours and service availability?

The browser can capture the hours shown on the Google Business Profile and include them when they matter to the ad. It should not turn listed opening hours into an unsupported emergency-service claim. If storm response, weekend inspections or same-day visits are not stated on the source, add that direction only when it is accurate.

What files do I receive for a roofing video ad?

The video can be rendered vertically at 1080x1920 or horizontally at 1920x1080, at 30fps in H.264. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. When a trending sound is selected, you receive its link so you can attach the sound natively during publishing rather than receiving it baked into the video.

Turn roofing proof into a short video ad

This page explains how roofers can turn a Google Business Profile into a short video ad built from real listing content. The video can show the inspection process, completed roofs, ratings, review snippets and business hours without requiring a separate script or asset folder.

How can roofers make a video ad from a Google Business Profile?

Paste the URL for your roofing Google Business Profile. The browser visits the listing and captures visible material such as your rating, review count, business hours, customer review snippets and uploaded roof photos. Sizzledraft then uses those real captures with colours and type choices drawn from the source to author a short scene. For a roofer, the useful sequence often starts with local proof, moves into an inspection or damage image, and finishes on completed shingles, flashing or cleanup. The first video is cut from the listing alone, so the profile needs to communicate the service clearly. Later videos can accept a prompt, such as asking for a version focused on storm damage inspections, roof replacement or completed workmanship.

What should a roofing video ad show first?

Start with the strongest evidence on the listing. For many roofers, that is the review count and rating rather than the job gallery. Put that proof in the first three seconds, then show what the company actually does: inspect missing shingles, check flashing, document damage or complete a replacement. Finished-roof photos work better when the sequence identifies the detail viewers should notice, such as a clean ridge line, new vents or tidy ground cleanup. Avoid opening with a wide roof image that looks like any other property at phone size. If the profile includes a useful review snippet about punctuality, inspection clarity or cleanup, pair it with the relevant job photo instead of using a general claim that the listing cannot support.

What video format works for roofing ads on social media?

Choose vertical 1080x1920 for placements designed around a phone screen, or horizontal 1920x1080 where a wider layout fits the placement. Videos render at 30fps in H.264, and audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. Keep roof damage, rating text and review snippets large enough to read without pausing. A close view of cracked shingles or flashing usually communicates more than a distant full-roof shot. If you want to use a trending sound, it is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when publishing. It is not baked into the exported file because baked-in audio does not count as using that platform sound. The visual sequence can still be timed for the selected sound.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser opens the roofer's Google Business Profile and captures visible job photos, rating, review count, hours and useful review snippets. It can build a strong proof-led sequence when the review count is better than the photography, but it cannot reliably show an inspection process if the listing only contains similar finished-roof images.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with an unlabelled wide shot of a finished roof, which gives homeowners little reason to keep watching. Open with the rating or review count, then use close inspection and finished-work images with captions that identify the damage found or the roofing detail completed.

Roof inspection footage often needs context, so viewers may not understand what the roofer found or fixed from photos alone.
Finished-roof photos can look similar at phone size, making workmanship, flashing details and cleanup difficult to show quickly.
A strong review count may be more persuasive than the available job photos, but placing it clearly in a short ad takes careful sequencing.
