How long before I start getting calls from Google Ads?

Most campaigns start generating clicks within the first few days. Calls usually follow within the first week or two. The first month is partly about collecting data — seeing which keywords convert and which ones just burn budget. Performance gets better over time as we cut what's not working.

What's the difference between what I pay you and what I pay Google?

Two separate costs. Our management fee starting at $750/mo covers building the campaigns, monitoring them, adjusting bids, adding negative keywords, and reporting. Your ad spend goes directly to Google — that's the budget for actual clicks. We'll recommend a spend level based on your services and your area, but you set that number.

Can you run ads for specific services like transmission repair or AC work?

That's exactly how we prefer to set things up. A single generic ad for "auto repair" doesn't perform as well as targeted campaigns for specific services. If transmission work is your highest-margin service, we can build a campaign around that and put more budget behind it.

I tried Google Ads before and it didn't work. What would be different?

Most failed campaigns share the same problems: too-broad keywords, no negative keyword list, geographic targeting that's way too wide, and nobody monitoring the account after setup. We fix all of that. The platform works — it's the setup and management that makes or breaks it.

Will my ads show up for people outside the Chandler area?

Not if we're doing our job. We set geographic targeting based on a realistic service area for your shop. If someone in Longview searches for brake repair, your ad won't show. You're only paying for clicks from people who could actually become customers.

The Problem With Running Your Own Ads

Google makes it very easy to start spending money. They'll walk you right through setup, suggest keywords, even write your ad copy for you. Helpful, right? Sure — the same way a casino is helpful when it hands you free chips.

Here's what happens when most shop owners set up their own campaigns. You bid on broad terms like "auto repair" and your ads show up for people searching for auto repair manuals, auto repair schools, auto repair jobs. You're paying for every one of those clicks. Or you target a 50-mile radius because more people seems better, and now you're buying clicks from folks in Athens or Palestine who will never drive to Chandler for an oil change. The default settings Google recommends are designed to make Google money. Not you.

And the dashboard? It's built to look like things are going well. Impressions are up. Clicks are up. But your phone isn't ringing any more than it was last month. That gap between what Google shows you and what's actually happening in your shop — that's where budgets disappear.

What We Actually Do With Your Campaign

We build your campaigns around the services you actually want to sell. Brake jobs, transmission work, AC repair, diagnostics — each one gets its own ad group with keywords that match how real people in Henderson County search. Someone near the Chandler ISD campus whose check engine light just came on isn't typing "automotive maintenance solutions." They're typing "mechanic near me" or "check engine light Chandler TX." We match that.

We set your geographic targeting tight. A shop in Chandler doesn't need to advertise to all of East Texas. We focus on the people who will actually walk through your door — Chandler, Brownsboro, Murchison, the surrounding area. And we add negative keywords constantly. That's the list of searches where your ad should not show up. It's tedious work. It's also the difference between a campaign that generates leads and one that generates credit card statements.

Every week we look at what's converting and what isn't. We adjust bids, pause what's not working, and put more behind what is. You get a real report — not a PDF full of graphs that don't mean anything, but actual numbers: how many calls, what they cost, which services are getting traction.

So Is This Going to Work for a Shop in Chandler?

Fair question. Chandler's not a big city. About 2,400 people. You might be wondering if there's enough search volume to make paid ads worth it.

Short answer: yes, but not the way it works in Tyler or Dallas. You're not going to get 500 clicks a month. You don't need 500 clicks a month. You need 15 or 20 good ones — people who actually need a mechanic and are close enough to come in. In a smaller market, cost per click is usually lower, competition is thinner, and the people searching are more likely to convert because there aren't thirty other shops to choose from.

The worst thing you can do is set a big budget and spray it everywhere. The best thing you can do is run a tight campaign with the right keywords, the right location targeting, and someone watching it who knows what a wasted click looks like. That's the service. Our ads management runs starting at $750/mo, which includes the management and the ongoing SEO work that supports it. Your actual ad spend with Google is separate — you control that budget, and we'll tell you what makes sense for your market.
