Proof in the numbers

We built pages for how people actually search.
They convert 20 times better.

Steel Master Roofing, Goshen IN. We rebuilt the site and switched on real measurement on August 21, 2026. Here is what the first nine days of tracking show. Nine days is a small sample and we would rather say so than dress it up.

  • 1 in 10

    The search pages we built
    4 forms from 38 visits

  • 1 in 198

    The general quote pages
    6 forms from 1,185 visits

  • 20

    Completed forms in nine days
    From 1,971 visits sitewide

  • 30 → 97

    Weekly visits from free Google
    Climbing six weeks straight

Completed forms only, counted in Google Analytics. Phone taps, clicks and form starts are deliberately not counted, because a tap is not a name and a number you can follow up. Paid search converted best at 1 in 9. Paid social converted worst at 1 in 493 despite sending the most traffic. Still early, and we will update this as the sample grows.

“Sam got us set up fast and kept it simple. We went from invisible on Google to showing up for searches in our area within a few weeks. The phone has been ringing more than it ever has.”

The problem

You're doing everything right.
So why isn't the phone ringing?

Agencies don't get you.

Big agencies charge $10K+/month and hand you off to a junior account team. You spend more time explaining your business than growing it.

DIY isn't cutting it anymore.

You've outgrown Sunday-night Facebook posts. Your competitors are ranking, running ads, and getting the calls. You're playing catch-up.

Hiring in-house is a leap.

A marketing coordinator costs $85K to $115K per year when you add benefits, taxes, and turnover. That's not a hire. That's a bet.

Who we serve

For the people running the businesses that make communities run.

Contractors & Trades

Roofers, fabricators, home services, specialty contractors. SEO, Google Business Profile, ads, and video content that keeps the phone ringing.

Contractors & trades

Restaurants & Local Retail

Two ways to work together

A website you can afford, or the whole operation.

Most shops need one good site that shows up when someone nearby searches. Some businesses need the whole thing built and measured. I do both, and they are priced completely differently, so here is which is which.

Websites, one price

From $129 a month

A real website for a shop, salon, or service company. No setup fee, live in about ten business days, and I keep it running after that. The full list of what is included is on the pricing page, along with four sample builds you can click through.

The full build

Scoped and quoted

Site, local search, ads, and measurement that tells you which marketing produced a customer. This is what we built for Steel Master Roofing, where the pages we made convert at 1 in 10 against 1 in 198 for their general quote page. Priced after a conversation, never off a menu.

The Tin Roof difference

The team that cares as much as you do.

Every client works directly with Sam Harrington from the first email through every month of service. Sam runs strategy, handles the calls, and does the work. When a job needs a specialist, such as a video shoot or a heavy development lift, Sam brings one in and manages them directly.

No junior account team fumbling through your business. No ticket queue burying your requests. No wondering who's actually running your marketing.

The process

From invisible to found. Here's how.

  1. 01

    Discovery call (30 min)

    We talk about your business, your goals, and where your marketing is stuck. No sales pitch. If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you.

  2. 02

    Custom scope and agreement

    I put together a scoped agreement for exactly what your business needs. No templated packages, no surprise upsells.

  3. 03

    Foundation phase (30 to 90 days)

    Website, SEO, Google Business Profile, review systems, and analytics all get built. You start seeing traffic and leads within the first 30 to 60 days.

  4. 04

    Ongoing operations

    Monthly reporting, strategy calls, ad management, content creation. Your marketing runs while you run your business.

About

Built by someone who's actually done it.

I'm Sam Harrington, founder of Tin Roof Digital. I've spent years in commercial sales, brand development, and small business operations. I built Tin Roof because small and mid-size businesses deserve better than the “$500 a month local SEO” nonsense that dominates this industry.

I lead every client relationship personally. I run strategy, I take the calls, and I do the work. When a job calls for something outside what I do well, I bring in a contractor and manage them myself. You never get handed off.

You get a partner, not a package.

More about how we work

Where we work

Eight markets across Michigan and Indiana.

We are based in Three Rivers and work with owners across the region, on site where that helps and remotely where it does not. Each market page covers what local search actually looks like there, including who you are competing with and how much review history the leaders have built.
