Google Ads and Local Services Ads for auto shops

Everything else in marketing takes time to compound. Paid search is the exception. Campaigns turned on today can put calls on the board this week, which makes it the right tool when a bay is sitting empty or a new location needs volume before word of mouth catches up.

We run two things side by side. Standard search ads target the specific jobs you want more of, so you are not paying for clicks on work you would rather not take. Local Services Ads put your shop at the very top with a Google Guaranteed badge, and they bill per lead rather than per click, which shop owners tend to find much easier to judge.

Both are managed with call tracking so you can hear what came in and what it was worth. We report on cost per booked job rather than clicks and impressions. Ad management is priced separately from your monthly plan, and every account is created in your name.

What happens after you say yes.

No long onboarding and no waiting around. Here is exactly how the first three months go.

One call to collect your photos, your service list, and access to your accounts. That is the hour we need from you.

Your new site goes up with the lead form working and click to call on every page. You approve it before anything goes public.

Google Business Profile optimized, local SEO in place, review requests going out, and daily social posts start running.

Real data shows which services and neighborhoods respond. We shift the work toward whatever is filling bays.
