Herod did not have to do much to help the Romans, they did not need it. They were already the overlords of Judea. It was more the other way round; it was the Romans who supported Herod. He just needed to show them he loyal to them. Herod was installed by force by the Romans as an ethanrch, which was a king of a conquered ethnic group. The Roman let the leaders of the conquered areas get on with ruling their areas as long as they were loyal to Rome and paid taxes to the Romans. Herod used Roman support to consolidate his power with brutality. He was unpopular among the Jew of Judea because he was from outside Judea and because his family had been forced to convert to Judaism and some Jews doubted his commitment to this religion, especially considering his decadent lifestyle. As long as Herod managed to maintain power and preserve political stability, the Romans did not interfere.
More in particular, Herod had to show he supported Augustus, the first Roman emperor, because during the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic he had supported the opponent of Augustus (who back then was called Octavian) in that war, Mark Antony.
