How fast will I start getting calls from Google Ads?

Most campaigns start generating clicks within a day or two of going live. Calls and bookings usually follow within the first week. There's a tuning period where we adjust targeting and bids, but you're not sitting around waiting months for results.

What's the minimum ad budget I should plan for?

For an auto repair shop covering the New Chapel Hill and surrounding Smith County area, we typically recommend starting with a few hundred dollars per month in ad spend. We'll give you a specific recommendation once we look at keyword costs in your area. You can scale up as you see results.

Can I target specific services like transmission repair or AC work?

Yes, and you should. We build separate ad groups for different services so your ad copy matches what someone's searching for. A person looking for AC repair sees an ad about AC repair, not a generic mechanic ad. It costs less per click and converts better.

Do I need a website before running Google Ads?

You need somewhere good to send the traffic. If your current site doesn't have clear service info, pricing, and a way to contact you, we can build one. A full website starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. Running ads to a bad landing page is a waste of money.

What if I only want leads for certain jobs?

That's the whole point of doing this right. If you make better margins on engine diagnostics than oil changes, we focus your budget there. You tell us what work you want, and we go after those searches specifically.

A Guy With a Check Engine Light Doesn't Browse

He picks the first shop that looks legit. That's Google Ads in a nutshell — you pay to be that first option when someone in or around New Chapel Hill needs brakes, an oil change, a transmission diagnosis, whatever you do. No waiting six months. No hoping the algorithm notices you. You show up today.

The Problem With Doing It Yourself

Google makes it real easy to set up an ad account. They walk you right through it. And then you spend $500 in a week showing ads to people in Dallas who will never drive to Smith County for a brake job.

Or you bid on "auto repair" — one of the broadest, most expensive keywords out there — when what you actually needed was "transmission repair New Chapel Hill" or "oil change near me" with the right location radius. Google's happy to take your money either way. They don't care if those clicks turn into customers.

That's where we come in. We set up campaigns that target the keywords your actual customers search for. We set geographic boundaries that make sense for a shop in a small East Texas community. And we watch the numbers daily — adjusting bids, killing underperforming ads, shifting budget toward what's working.

What This Looks Like for Your Shop

First, we figure out what services make you money. Alignments? AC repair? Full engine rebuilds? Every service has different search volume and different competition. We build ad groups around the work you actually want more of — not just generic "mechanic near me" stuff.

Then there's the landing page. When someone clicks your ad, they need to see exactly what they searched for. If they searched "brake repair," they should land on a page about brake repair — with your pricing, your certifications, and an easy way to book or call. Not your homepage. Not a page that lists forty services. The specific thing they need.

We also set up conversion tracking so you know what's actually happening. How many people called. How many booked online. What each lead cost you. Most shop owners running their own ads have no idea which keywords are bringing in real jobs and which ones are just burning through the daily budget on tire-kickers.

New Chapel Hill is small. Folks know each other. But your repair radius probably covers a good chunk of Smith County — maybe out toward Troup, Whitehouse, parts of Tyler. We set your ad targeting to cover that whole area without wasting impressions on people too far out to ever show up.

Our ad management runs starting at $750/mo. That covers campaign setup, keyword research, ongoing management, and monthly reporting. Ad spend with Google is separate — you control that budget, and we'll tell you what makes sense based on your market and your goals. You only pay Google when someone actually clicks.
