Dima Sobovoy is the CEO and founder of Roofing SEO School, which teaches roofing contractors how to do SEO in-house instead of relying on third-party sources to generate online leads.

After marrying and starting his family, Dima wanted more than the 9-5 life and trading his time for money, and he was convinced that specializing in SEO was the best path forward to achieve his goals. Now he spends his time teaching roofing contractors how to be in control of their lead generation and have more freedom and independence in their digital presence.
