Do I need a website before starting social media marketing?

It helps a lot. Social media gets attention, but your website is where people go to check your services, see your hours, and book an appointment. A full website starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. We can build both at the same time.

How often will you post on my accounts?

Enough to stay visible without flooding people's feeds. The exact number depends on what's happening at your shop, but consistency matters more than volume. A few solid posts a week beat daily filler.

Can I approve posts before they go up?

Yes. You'll see everything before it's published. If you want to be hands-off, that works too. But it's your shop and your name — you get final say.

What if I already have a Facebook page but haven't posted in months?

That's fine. We'll clean it up, update your info, and start fresh with real content. A dormant page isn't a problem — an abandoned one that stays abandoned is.

Will social media actually bring customers to my shop in Canton?

It can, but only if it's done with intent. Random posts don't drive business. Posts tied to your services, aimed at people in your area, with a clear path to your website or phone number — that's what brings people through the door.

Social Media Marketing for Auto Repair Shops in Canton

You're paying for social media one way or another. Either you're spending hours doing it yourself between oil changes, or you're paying someone and getting nothing back. Both cost you.

The Real Cost of Doing It Wrong

A boosted post here, a random photo there — that's not marketing. That's just noise. And noise costs money whether you're writing the check or burning the time.

Every hour you spend trying to figure out what to post on Facebook is an hour you're not turning wrenches or talking to the person standing at your counter. For a shop in Canton, where your reputation runs through Trade Days weekends and word at the courthouse square, your time has a dollar value. Spending it on social media posts that get ignored is a bad trade.

Social media management starts at $750 a month. That's not nothing. But what you're doing now — or not doing — isn't free either.

What Actually Works for Shops

Auto repair is visual. A busted CV axle next to the new one. A brake rotor worn down to bare metal. Transmission fluid that looks like chocolate milk. That stuff stops people mid-scroll.

But you can't just post a photo and walk away. There's a rhythm to it — when to post, what to say, how to get people in Canton and across Van Zandt County to actually follow your page and pay attention. And it has to tie back to bookings. Likes don't pay your parts bill.

We build posts around your actual services. Brake jobs, alignments, diagnostics, whatever you're running that week. Before-and-after photos of real work. Quick videos from the bay. Content that shows folks you know what you're doing — because that's what gets someone to call when their check engine light comes on.

Facebook Is Where Your Customers Are

Instagram matters. But for an auto repair shop in a town like Canton, Facebook is the one that moves the needle. That's where people ask for recommendations. That's where they share your post with their neighbor.

We'll set up your pages right, keep them active, and make sure when someone in Canton searches for a mechanic on Facebook, your shop shows up looking like a real business — not a page with a blurry logo and a last post from 2023.

And we'll tie your social media back to your website so people can actually book an appointment or see your full service menu. Social posts bring attention. Your site closes the deal.

What This Looks Like Month to Month

No fluff. You get a posting schedule, real content built from your shop's work, and reporting that tells you if it's working. If engagement is flat, we change the approach. If a post takes off, we lean into it.

Social media marketing paired with a solid website starts at $750 a month. If you don't have a website yet, a full site runs $1,500 and takes about a week. Both are built to work together — your social drives traffic to your site, your site turns that traffic into booked appointments.

This isn't about going viral. It's about being the shop in Canton that people see, remember, and call.
