Auto repair and dealership marketing, tracked to real calls.

Where automotive budgets leak
Bays don't fill from clicks.
They fill from calls.
Most wasted automotive ad money goes to broad keywords nobody trimmed, map views counted as “conversions” and lead forms nobody followed up. We build campaigns around the calls, forms and buyer inquiries that can become repair orders and sales — and count nothing else as a lead.
Who it's for
Built for repair shops,
diesel shops and dealer lots.
Google Ads, Meta lead campaigns, local SEO, reviews and tracking, tuned to how each kind of automotive customer decides — and every lead counted the same honest way.
Auto repair shops
Google Search and Performance Max campaigns for the repairs people search for, a Google Business Profile that competes in the map, and call tracking that separates real calls from hang-ups.
Diesel shops
Google Ads for the diesel repairs and upgrades truck owners search for, plus Facebook and Instagram lead campaigns with instant forms — every call and form counted.
Used-car dealers
Meta lead campaigns with scroll-stopping video, a tight local radius and instant lead forms, plus Google Vehicle Ads that put your inventory in front of local buyers.

30-day Meta lead campaign · Meta Ads Manager
Numbers come straight from the clients' Google Ads call reports, Meta Ads Manager and Facebook insights. “Calls” are calls placed through Google's call tracking; a quality call lasted 60 seconds or more. Client names are withheld for privacy. Results depend on market, budget, offer and follow-up — we never guarantee specific numbers.
How it works
Four steps.
Then we keep tuning.
Step 01 · Audit
Read the accounts first
Search terms, call tracking, your Business Profile and the shops or dealers you compete with — so the first call is about your real numbers, not a pitch.
Step 02 · Build
Structure by intent
Campaigns organized by service, location and buyer intent — repairs, diesel work or inventory — with ads matched to landing pages and negative keywords from day one.
Step 03 · Track
Count real leads
Call, form and Meta lead tracking set up and tested before launch, so the accounts optimize for customers, not clicks.
Step 04 · Optimize
Weekly, in writing
Weekly search-term cleanup and creative refreshes, budget pacing to your approved cap, a change log you can read and a monthly cost-per-lead report.

The services behind the automotive playbook.
Google Ads management is where the call results above come from. Local SEO is how you compete in the map when drivers search “near me.” And when they ask an AI assistant which shop to call, the same groundwork helps — though nobody controls AI answers.

Questions owners ask
Automotive marketing FAQ.
No. Our system is built for local service businesses of every kind — see who we serve. Automotive is simply where all three of our published client results come from: an auto repair shop, a diesel repair & performance shop and a used-car dealership.
Client names are withheld for privacy — the same way we'd protect yours. The numbers come straight from their Google Ads call reports, Meta Ads Manager and Facebook insights.
No. Results depend on your market, budget, offer and follow-up, and anyone who guarantees a number of leads or sales is promising something they can't control. What we guarantee is transparency: you see what was spent, what it produced and what each lead cost.
Phone calls that last 60 seconds or longer, website form submissions and Meta lead-form submissions with real contact details. Clicks, map views, short calls and hang-ups are reported separately and never counted as leads. See how we count.
Yes. Vehicle Ads are part of our Google Ads management, alongside Search, Performance Max and YouTube — built and managed in your own Google Ads account.
Our packages start around $500–$2,500 a month depending on what you need, with no long-term contracts. Ad spend is separate: Google and Meta bill it to your own accounts, up to the monthly cap you approve.
