Turn searches
into customers.
Collision shops, tire and wheel shops, private car services, repair, detailing, automotive businesses all live or die by the same moment: a customer searches, compares, and judges you in seconds on what they see. We make sure what they see is you, at the top, trusted, and easy to book.
Where the next
customer is won.
When a driver searches "auto body shop near me," this page decides who they call. Four layers, four chances to be that business, and the same map and reviews win customers for a car service, too.

Search ads
The "Sponsored" slots. "Collision repair near me," or for a car service "black car service" and "airport car service," matched to a fast estimate or booking page.
The Map 3-pack
The three local listings on the map. Won by your Google Business Profile, reviews, and proximity, the universal lever that wins a collision customer and a car-service booking alike.

The earned listings below. Slower to build, but once you rank they keep producing customers without paying for every click.
Different businesses,
one playbook.
Collision repair and private transportation look nothing alike, one is the worst day of a driver's week, the other is a polished ride to the airport or a board meeting. But they share one truth: the customer finds you on Google and decides in seconds. A driver whose car just got hit searches "auto body shop near me" and books within 48 hours. An assistant booking a car service compares a few names and picks the one that looks most reliable. In both cases the business that shows up first and looks most trustworthy wins, and the one buried on page two never gets the call.
Reputation is the whole game. 87% of people use Google to size up a local business before they choose, and for both a body shop and a car service the star rating and review count do the deciding. A collision shop with 4.9 stars and hundreds of reviews wins the customer who could have gone anywhere; a car service with a spotless, verified profile wins the corporate account that books every week. Your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and your place in the local map pack matter more than any single ad, they're what every searcher checks before they trust you with their car or their schedule.
The intent moments are different, so the marketing is too. For collision, the search is urgent and local, and most repairs are booked within two days of the accident, so we capture "auto body shop near me" and "collision repair" the moment it happens, and we remind drivers they have the right to choose their own shop, not just the one the insurer steers them toward. Auto body now qualifies for Local Services Ads with the Google Guaranteed badge, so we put you at the very top. For transportation, the buyer is planning ahead, an airport transfer, an event, a roadshow, a standing corporate account, so we win the searches for "black car service" and "executive car service," back them with a premium, easy-to-book site, and nurture the repeat and corporate bookings that make the business.
And the economics reward getting found. A collision job runs $3,000 to $8,000 and the industry processes around 17 million claims a year, so a steady flow of the right local searches is worth real money, on top of higher-margin cash-pay work like paintless dent repair and custom paint. In transportation, luxury chauffeur work runs $170 to $400 an hour and a single corporate account can book for years, so the lifetime value of one good client dwarfs the cost to win them. In both cases what matters isn't the price of a click, it's the cost to acquire a customer who's worth thousands. We build to that number.
Because drivers have the right to choose their own shop, and most decide fast. Marketing wins the customers who'd otherwise default to the insurer's list, plus higher-margin cash-pay jobs.
Win the high-intent searches, back them with a premium site, reviews, and easy booking, then nurture the relationship. One corporate account can book for years.
Yes, for both. 87% check Google first, and the star rating and review count decide who gets called when every other option is one click away.
Most collision shops run $1,500 to $4,000/month and car services $1,000 to $3,000, sized to your market and how many jobs or bookings you need.

Common
questions.
How do customers find a collision shop or a car service now?
Almost always on Google. A driver who's been in an accident searches "auto body shop near me" or "collision repair," looks at the map pack and the reviews, and calls within a day or two. Someone booking a car service searches "black car service," "airport car service," or "executive car service" in their city, then compares a few names on reputation before they book. In both cases the same three things decide it: who shows up at the top of search, who owns the local map 3-pack, and who has the reviews to look trustworthy. Around 87% of people use Google to evaluate a local business before choosing, so being easy to find and easy to trust is most of the battle. We make sure you win all three, paid search, the map pack, and the organic listings, instead of leaving it to whoever happens to rank today.
We're a collision shop, does marketing matter if insurance sends us work?
Yes, more than most shops realize. Drivers have the legal right in most states to choose their own repair shop, the insurer can suggest a direct-repair shop, but it can't require one, and the majority decide quickly, usually within 48 hours of the accident. Marketing is how you win those customers instead of losing them by default to whoever's on the insurer's list. With roughly 17 million collision claims filed a year and jobs that run $3,000 to $8,000, capturing even a steady trickle of "collision repair near me" searches is real revenue. On top of that, auto body now qualifies for Local Services Ads with the Google Guaranteed badge, which puts you above the regular ads with a trust signal built in. And it opens the door to higher-margin cash-pay work, paintless dent repair, custom paint, detailing, that insurance never touches. Relying only on DRP volume leaves money and independence on the table.
We're a private transportation company, how do we get more bookings and corporate accounts?
By winning the high-intent searches and then earning the repeat. People booking a car service search for specific things, "black car service [city]," "airport car service," "executive car service," "corporate transportation", and they're often planning ahead for a flight, an event, or a roadshow. We put you at the top of those searches with paid ads, back them with a premium, fast, easy-to-book website, and make sure your reviews and Google Business Profile signal the reliability and discretion this clientele expects. The real prize is lifetime value: luxury chauffeur work runs $170 to $400 an hour, and a single corporate account, a law firm, a private-equity team, an events company, can book every week for years. So beyond capturing demand, we help you nurture those relationships with the kind of service, follow-up, and account care that turns a first ride into a standing account.
How important are reviews and my Google Business Profile?
They're often the deciding factor for both specialties. About 87% of consumers use Google to evaluate a local business before choosing, and your star rating, review count, and the freshness of your reviews are exactly what they weigh. For a collision shop, a strong profile wins the customer who could have gone to any of a dozen shops; for a car service, a spotless, verified profile is what earns the trust of an executive or a corporate booker who's never met you. Your Google Business Profile is also what gets you into the local map 3-pack, the three listings with the map that sit above the organic results and capture the lion's share of clicks and calls. We optimize your profile, keep your information accurate everywhere it appears, and build a steady, authentic flow of new reviews so you show up in the map pack and look like the obvious choice.
How much does Google Ads cost for an automotive business?
It depends on the specialty and your market. Collision repair is competitive: clicks commonly run $20 to $45, and a lead, a real call or form fill, runs roughly $25 to $60, including Local Services Ads leads where you pay per lead rather than per click. Most single-location body shops invest $1,500 to $4,000 a month. Private transportation clicks tend to run lower, and car services usually start around $1,000 to $3,000 a month on ads and management. But the click price is the wrong thing to obsess over. What matters is the cost to acquire a customer who's worth thousands, a $4,000 collision job or a corporate account that books for years, and the return on that. We build to cost per acquired customer with tight targeting, negative keywords, and call tracking, so you can see exactly which searches turn into jobs and bookings, not just clicks.
Should we invest in Google Ads, SEO, or both?
Most automotive businesses need both, because they do different jobs. Google Ads and Local Services Ads put you in front of a customer the instant they search, essential for collision, where the decision happens within 48 hours, and powerful for capturing high-intent transportation searches. SEO and a strong Google Business Profile build the durable presence that wins the map 3-pack and the organic listings, the results people check before they trust you, and they keep producing calls without paying for every click. Reviews tie it all together, lifting both your ads and your rankings. We typically run ads for immediate calls and bookings while building the local and organic foundation underneath, then shift the mix as your reviews and rankings strengthen and your blended cost per customer comes down.
