How fast will I start getting leads from Google Ads?

Most campaigns need two to three weeks before the data is useful enough to make real adjustments. You'll likely see some calls and clicks before that, but the first month is really about dialing in targeting and weeding out bad keywords. Month two is usually where things start to settle into a pattern.

How much should I budget for the actual ad spend?

That's separate from the $750 management fee. For a shop in the Canton area, somewhere in the range of $500 to $1,500 a month in ad spend is typical depending on how many services you want to advertise. We can start lower and scale up once we see what's working.

What if I already have a Google Ads account that's not performing?

We'll audit what's there. Sometimes the bones are fine and it just needs better targeting and negative keywords. Sometimes it's better to rebuild from scratch. Either way, you keep your account — we just manage it.

Do I need to be involved in the day-to-day management?

No. We handle the campaign work. You'll hear from us with reports and when we have questions about your services or capacity. If your shop gets slammed and you need to pause ads for a week, just say so.

Will my ads show up for people outside Canton?

Only if you want them to. We set geographic targeting based on where your customers actually come from. If you pull work from Wills Point, Edgewood, Grand Saline — we can include those areas. If you only want Canton proper, that works too.

The Problem With Running Your Own Ads

Google makes it easy to set up an ad account. That's kind of the issue. You pick some keywords, set a budget, write a couple lines of copy, and Google happily starts spending your money. Whether those clicks come from someone in Canton who needs a transmission rebuild or someone three counties over searching "auto repair near me" from a couch — Google doesn't care. It got its click.

Auto repair is competitive in ad spend because the jobs are worth real money. Brake work, engine diagnostics, AC repair — these aren't $15 purchases. So the cost per click is higher than a lot of other industries. And if your targeting is sloppy, or your ad copy doesn't match what people are actually searching for, you burn through budget fast with nothing to show for it.

We set up campaigns that target the specific services your shop offers, in the specific area you serve. Van Zandt County, the Canton area, wherever your customers actually come from. And we watch the numbers. Weekly. Not quarterly. If a keyword isn't converting, we cut it. If a search term keeps triggering your ad but never leads to a call, we block it. That's the job.

What This Actually Looks Like

You tell us what services make you money. Maybe it's brake jobs and oil changes. Maybe you do a lot of diesel work or fleet maintenance. We build campaigns around those services with ad copy that speaks to what someone's actually dealing with — a check engine light, a noise they can't identify, an AC that quit in July.

We handle the keyword research, the negative keyword lists, the bid adjustments, the geo-targeting, the ad extensions that show your phone number and address. Your ads show up when someone in the Canton area searches for what you do. They click. They call or they book. You fix their car.

That's it. No dashboards full of vanity metrics. We tell you how many leads came in, what they cost, and whether the numbers make sense. If they don't, we adjust. Our ad management runs $750 a month, starting at. That covers the management — your actual ad spend with Google is separate and up to you.

A Straight Talk on What to Expect

So — is Google Ads going to flood your shop with cars on day one?

No. First couple weeks are data collection. We're finding out which keywords perform, which ones waste money, and what your cost per lead actually looks like in this market. Canton's not Dallas. The search volume is smaller. But the people searching are closer to buying, and there's less competition bidding on those terms.

Will it work for your shop specifically? Depends on your margins and what you charge for the work. If your average repair order is solid, even a handful of new customers a month from ads can pay for the whole campaign several times over. If you're only doing $40 oil changes, the math gets tighter.

Do you need a good website first? It helps. A lot. Sending paid traffic to a site that doesn't load right on a phone or doesn't list your services clearly is a waste of ad spend. If your site needs work, we can handle that too — a full website build starts at $1,500.

Can you pause or stop anytime? Yes. No contracts locking you in for a year. If it's not working, you stop. Simple as that.
