ARS × Michigan Roof Programs

Landing Page Copy Audit

Before vs. after — repositioning MRP from contractor middleman to free homeowner resource tool. April 2026.

What Changed and Why

"We coordinate every step of your claim" "Free tool to find programs you qualify for"
"From your first call to a finished roof" "See your matches in under 2 minutes"
ARS inspection = the product, upfront ARS inspection = optional offer after scorecard
"Coordinator" language (sounds like middleman) "Program specialist" or "local contractor" language
Insurance claim focus ("we handle the paperwork") Grant / government program focus ("find the money")
Sales funnel (qualify → inspection → replacement) Value tool (search → match → optional next step)

Headline + Subhead

Headline

Does Your Michigan Home Qualify for Roof Repair Assistance?


Subhead

Homeowners across Michigan may have access to programs that help cover the cost of roof repairs and replacements, especially after storm or hail damage. Find out if your home qualifies in under 2 minutes.

✅ NEW
Headline

Find Out Which Michigan Roof Programs You Qualify For


Subhead

Free matching tool for Michigan homeowners. See active local, state, and federal programs in your area — no obligation, no salespeople.

Why changed

Old headline implied MRP evaluates your eligibility for "repair assistance" — vague and sounds like the company is the gatekeeper. New headline repositions as a matching tool: you use it to discover programs. "No salespeople" directly addresses distrust and differentiates from contractor lead-gen sites.

Hero Badge Row

❌ OLD

✓ Free, No-Obligation Inspection
✓ Licensed & Insured Contractors
✓ Insurance Claim Assistance
✓ Serving 20+ Michigan Counties

✅ NEW

✓ Free to use
✓ No obligation
✓ Results in under 2 minutes
✓ 11 active programs tracked

Why changed

"Insurance Claim Assistance" and "Licensed & Insured Contractors" signal that MRP is a contractor service, which increases skepticism. New badges focus on the tool experience: fast, free, no pressure. "11 active programs tracked" adds specificity and credibility without implying MRP does the work.

Why changed

Old Step 3 ("we coordinate the repair") implies MRP is the contractor executing the work — which is misleading and creates distrust when ARS is eventually revealed. New steps position the tool as informational: the homeowner gets a report, then decides what to do. The ARS inspection is not mentioned in How It Works at all — only offered after the scorecard.

Button Copy Changes

❌ OLD

• "Check Your Eligibility"
• "Submit — Funding windows fill quickly, hold your spot"
• "A coordinator will text or call you shortly"

✅ NEW

• "Check My Programs →"
• "See My Program Matches 🎯"
• "Get a FREE Professional Assessment →" (scorecard only)
• "Submit & Get My Full Report →"

Why changed

"Funding windows fill quickly — hold your spot" is a fake urgency tactic that erodes trust. "Coordinator" sounds like a sales process. New CTAs are action-oriented and honest: you're checking programs, seeing matches, getting a report. The inspection offer is named as an assessment, not a sales call.

Updated Q&A

❌ OLD — FAQ Questions

• What is Michigan Roof Programs? (described as "coordination service" handling insurance)
• Does the inspection cost anything?
• Why should I get a roof inspection?
• What if I don't have homeowner's insurance?
• How long does the process take?
• What areas do you serve?

✅ NEW — FAQ Questions

• What is Michigan Roof Programs? (free matching tool, not a contractor)
• Does it cost anything to use?
• What happens after I see my matches?
• What programs are available?
• Do I have to give my phone number to see results?
• What areas do you cover?

Why changed

"What if I don't have homeowner's insurance?" exposes that the current model is insurance-claim-dependent — which contradicts the MRP grant/program positioning. New FAQ addresses what the tool actually does and removes insurance-as-prerequisite framing. Added "Do I have to give my phone number?" to proactively address the top objection for lead-gen forms.
