Pay Per Appointment for Roofers: What It Is and Who It Fits

The short answer

Pay per appointment means you pay when a qualified homeowner is booked on your calendar, not for clicks, raw leads, or a monthly retainer. At Starweb Digital, an appointment that no-shows or fails the qualification standard does not count and gets replaced.

How it works

We run survey-gated Meta ads in your market, under your brand or ours. The homeowner qualifies and picks a time on your calendar. Confirmation and reminder texts are handled.

You prepay for a block of appointments. Each one delivered comes out of the block. You show up and sell.

Two models

  • Block model. We run the ads. You pay per appointment.
  • Account model. Ads run on your own ad account at cost. The per-appointment fee is lower.

Appointments are never shared or resold. We only run a limited number of contractors per area, so check if your market is open.

A lead is a name and a number, and you pay for it whatever happens next. A retainer pays for effort. Pay per appointment pays for the visit, the first thing in the chain you can count.

Who it fits

  • Established roofing or siding companies
  • At least $1M in annual revenue
  • A closer who can run 2 to 5 appointments a day
  • Warm-season or year-round markets

Siding-only companies are supported.

Who it does not fit

  • Startups without a closer
  • Storm-chase only operations
  • Anyone who wants leads instead of appointments

What it costs

The math is on the roofing appointment cost page. The standard behind every appointment is on qualified appointment. Run any vendor, us included, through the vetting checklist, or see the comparison.

FAQ

No. No retainer and no long-term contract. You prepay for a block and each delivered appointment comes out of it.
