How fast will I start getting calls from Google Ads?

Ads can start showing within a day or two of launch. Calls and form submissions usually start within the first week. It takes a few weeks of data to really tune the campaign and cut wasted spend, but you won't be waiting months to see movement.

What if someone clicks my ad but doesn't need a repair?

That's exactly what negative keywords prevent. We build and maintain a list of search terms that trigger your ads but don't lead to real customers—things like 'auto repair jobs,' 'DIY brake repair,' or searches from outside your service area. You'll always get some junk clicks, but the goal is to minimize them aggressively.

Should I run Google Ads and SEO at the same time?

They work well together. Ads get you in front of people today. SEO builds your visibility over time so you're not dependent on ad spend forever. Our plan at $750/mo covers both, which keeps them coordinated instead of working against each other.

How much should I budget for the actual ad spend itself?

That depends on how competitive your area and services are. For an auto repair shop in Tyler, a reasonable starting ad budget is typically $500 to $1,500 a month on top of the management fee. We can help figure out the right number based on which services you want to push and how many leads you're looking for.

Can I see what's happening in my ad account?

Yes. It's your account—you own it. We give you full access and send regular reports showing clicks, calls, cost-per-lead, and which keywords are performing. No black box. If you want to log in and look around yourself, go for it.

Your Ads Are Probably Running Right Now. Are They Working?

Google's default settings are generous—generous to Google. Broad match keywords, search partners turned on, ads showing across half of East Texas when you only service Smith County. You end up paying for clicks from someone near the old Bergfeld Park neighborhood searching 'auto repair near me' and also someone in Longview who'll never drive to your shop. We strip all that out. Tight geographic targeting, exact-match and phrase-match keywords, negative keyword lists that actually get maintained. Your budget goes where it should.

The Keywords That Matter (and the Ones Eating Your Budget)

There's a big difference between someone searching 'brake repair Tyler TX' and someone searching 'how to replace brake pads myself.' One of those people is a customer. The other one is a YouTube viewer. We build campaigns around service-specific keywords—transmission repair, AC diagnostics, check engine light, the stuff that brings cars through your bay doors. And we add negative keywords weekly so you stop paying for the tire-kickers. Literally.

What Your Landing Page Needs to Actually Convert

Getting the click is half the job. When someone lands on your page, they need to see what services you offer, what it'll roughly cost, and how to book an appointment or drop off a vehicle. Before-and-after photos of actual repairs go a long way. So does info about your ASE certifications or manufacturer training. People searching Google Ads are comparing two or three shops at once. The one that makes it easiest to say yes gets the call.

We Watch the Numbers So You Don't Have To

Running Google Ads isn't a set-it-and-forget-it thing, even though that's exactly how most ad accounts end up. We check search term reports, adjust bids, pause underperforming ads, and test new copy. If your cost-per-lead starts creeping up, we catch it before it becomes a problem—not three months later when you're wondering where your ad budget went. Plans start at $750/mo for ongoing SEO and ads management together.
