The ones a repair shop asks on the first call. If yours is not here, ask us.
How do you do marketing for an auto repair shop?
Be the garage people find, and be the garage that remembers them. The listing wins the breakdown, the reminder wins the service, and the phone wins whatever is left. Ads come after those three and only for the work that brings people through the door.
What does local SEO involve for a garage?
The Google Business Profile first: services, hours, photographs of the workshop and every review answered. A driver choosing a garage reads the replies as closely as the reviews. Then a page for each service, priced, because drivers compare before they call.
Can you compete with the franchise dealer?
On the things that matter locally, yes. The dealer wins on brand and loses on price, distance and the fact that nobody likes ringing them. We make sure you are found first, priced plainly, and that your service reminder arrives before theirs does.
How much does auto repair marketing cost?
From $249 a month, billed monthly, with no contract and no setup fee. Where yours lands depends on what we run and how many sites it covers, and we work it out on a twenty minute call. Ad spend is yours, paid to Google directly.
