Take Back Control of Your Business Growth
Without Ads or Agencies

3local is designed for businesses that want to reach potential customers in every town, suburb, and village within their target area, without relying on ongoing SEO retainers or ad spend.

What is 3local and how does it work for roofers?

3local is a location‑based SEO platform that creates service‑and‑area pages linked to your Google Business Profile (GBP). It’s designed to help roofing companies publish pages targeting neighbouring towns, villages and suburbs without rebuilding the main website. Visibility and timelines depend on factors such as competition, demand and site authority, and specific rankings can’t be guaranteed.

Can I target multiple towns or postcodes at the same time?

Yes. You can configure multiple locations and generate pages for each service‑and‑location combination. Where these pages appear in search results depends on relevance, proximity, competition and other signals used by search engines.

Does 3local allow me to promote different roofing services separately?

Yes. You can set up pages for service types such as roof repairs, new roof installations, flat roofing, emergency leak repairs, guttering, and slate/tile replacement, paired with the locations you choose.

How can I structure content for both domestic and commercial roofing?

Create separate service‑and‑location pages for each audience—for example, one set for residential re‑roofing and another for commercial flat‑roof systems—keeping details aligned with your GBP.

Can I include search modifiers like “emergency”, “local”, or “near me”?

Yes. Titles and copy can include common intent phrases where relevant. Actual visibility for those terms will vary based on user intent, competition and other factors outside our control.

Will 3local integrate with my existing roofing website?

It typically runs on a subdomain and works alongside your main site, so you don’t need to rebuild your core site or change its CMS to launch a 3local setup.

Does this replace the need for on‑site SEO?

No. 3local complements existing on‑site optimisation by adding geo‑targeted pages, while standard SEO (content quality, metadata, speed, accessibility and more) remains important.

Can I use 3local alongside backlink or citation campaigns?

Yes. You can direct external links to relevant service‑and‑location pages or include them in your internal‑linking plan. Follow your usual quality guidelines for link acquisition and citations.

Is it possible to target very specific areas, like smaller villages or housing estates?

Yes. You can configure hyper‑local areas with specific services, such as “garage roof replacement in [village]” or “emergency leak repair in [estate name]”. Appearance in results will still depend on proximity and competition.

Does it work for seasonal roofing services?

Yes. You can create pages for seasonal or weather‑related services such as winter roof inspections, storm‑damage repairs or summer re‑roofing projects. Results vary by demand and market conditions.

Can I run campaigns for specialist roofing materials?

Yes. If you work with EPDM, GRP, clay tiles, reclaimed slate or other materials, you can create dedicated pages for each material type across your target locations.

How does 3local fit into my current local SEO strategy?

It adds structured, location‑specific content that supports your GBP and other local signals. Coordinating with your existing plan helps avoid overlapping or conflicting pages.

Will this affect my GBP’s service‑area settings?

No. Service‑area settings are managed within Google’s dashboard. 3local pages can reinforce those areas through on‑site content but won’t overwrite GBP settings.

Can I manage multiple roofing businesses or locations in one account?

Yes. You can run campaigns for multiple branches or trading names, each with its own services and target locations.

How can I make sure pages aren’t too similar?

Pages are generated with varying copy, metadata and schema. You can further edit wording, imagery and calls‑to‑action to differentiate each area and maintain quality.

Does 3local support emergency service promotion?

Yes. If you offer rapid‑response work—such as 24/7 leak repairs—you can create pages targeting those urgent terms in selected locations. Inclusion in specific results is not guaranteed.

Is this suitable for franchise or multi‑branch roofing companies?

Yes. It supports multi‑location campaigns, with each branch targeting its own service area. Practical limits and performance depend on resources, coverage and content quality.

Does 3local work for both mobile and desktop searches?

Yes. Pages are mobile‑friendly and built to display clearly on smartphones, tablets and desktops.

Can I update services and areas over time?

Yes. You can add, remove or edit target locations and services as your roofing business evolves, keeping your coverage aligned with current priorities.
