Here's what we typically fix in the first 30 days. ### Coupon-Hunters Eating Your Budget Most auto repair PPC accounts are filling bays with $29 oil-change shoppers who never come back. We restructure around brake jobs, transmission service, suspension, and diagnostic — the work that actually pays the shop. ### Losing Local Searches to National Chains Midas, Firestone, and Jiffy Lube are spending six-figure monthly budgets in every market. Independent shops without tight LSA management, brand defense, and competitor-conquest campaigns are quietly losing share every quarter. ### No Landing Pages for High-Margin Services Sending 'transmission repair near me' clicks to your homepage converts at 2%. Dedicated brake, transmission, diagnostic, and EV repair landing pages with financing offers and same-day booking convert at 8–14%. Full-Funnel Auto Repair Paid Media ## Every paid channel that books auto repair jobs — managed under one roof Google Ads alone leaves money on the table. We blend the channels that actually drive booked appointments for auto repair businesses. ### Google Local Services Ads (LSA) Pay-per-lead placement at the top of auto repair SERPs with the Google Guaranteed badge — the highest-ROI channel for service-call volume. ### Google Search Ads Service × city campaigns for brakes, transmission, AC, diagnostic, EV repair, and check-engine light — bid by service margin. ### Call-Only & Click-to-Call Mobile formats that drive booking calls directly to your service writers, with CallRail recording, scoring, and missed-call alerts. ### Performance Max & Display Retargeting Stay in front of customers pricing major repairs over the 7–30 day decision cycle — across YouTube, Gmail, Discover, and Display. ### Meta & Facebook Ads Lookalike and retargeting campaigns for higher-ticket work like timing belts, suspension rebuilds, and full-service maintenance plans. ### EV & Specialty Vehicle Campaigns Targeted campaigns for EV repair, hybrid service, European import, diesel, and fleet — categories with low competition and high margin. What's Included ## Everything in your Auto Repair PPC engagement Full Google Ads + LSA audit & restructure Service-line campaign build (brakes, trans, diagnostic) Conversion-tuned auto repair landing pages CallRail call tracking, recording & scoring Coupon vs. high-margin funnel split Negative keyword & DIY-shopper exclusions Brand defense + chain conquest campaigns Google LSA review velocity playbook Weekly performance reporting Monthly senior-strategist call Fleet & specialty vehicle targeting GA4 + Google Ads conversion alignment Auto Repair Benchmarks ### Realistic numbers to budget against Typical CPC $6 – $28 Cost per qualified lead $25 – $85 Recommended monthly spend $2,000 – $15,000+ Time to first leads 24–72 hours Benchmarks based on ThinkProfits-managed auto repair accounts.
