How long before my shop starts ranking for local searches?

Typically 6 to 12 months for meaningful results. Some easier keywords move faster, but if you're not showing up at all right now, it takes time for Google to start trusting your site. There's no shortcut that doesn't eventually backfire.

Do I need a new website or can you work with what I've got?

Depends on what's there. If your current site loads fine on a phone and we can add pages to it, we'll work with it. If it's outdated or built on something we can't touch, a rebuild makes more sense. We'll tell you straight up which route saves you money.

What's the difference between SEO and paying for Google Ads?

Ads put you at the top right now, but you pay for every click. SEO builds your organic ranking so people find you without the ad spend. Most shops do best with both running — ads for immediate visibility while the SEO work builds up underneath.

Will you help with my Google Business Profile?

Yes. For most auto shops in a town like Bullard, your Google Business Profile is where the majority of local calls come from. We'll get your services listed, photos uploaded, hours verified, and reviews strategy in place.

What kind of content do you need from me?

Photos of your shop, your work, and your team. A list of every service you offer and any manufacturer certifications. After that initial dump, we handle the rest. Maybe a quick call once a month to check in.

The math on local search

Google handles somewhere north of 8 billion searches a day worldwide. You don't need all of them. You need the ones from somebody sitting in their driveway in Bullard with a check engine light on, typing "mechanic near me" into their phone.

If your shop doesn't show up in those results, you don't exist to that person. They're not going to scroll to page three. They're calling whoever pops up first. And right now, if that's not you, every one of those searches is a job you never heard about.

SEO isn't flashy. It's slow, methodical work. We're talking 6 to 12 months before you see real traction. But once it's working, you've got a steady flow of people finding you without paying for every single click.

What goes into SEO for an auto repair shop

1. **Google Business Profile cleanup.** Your hours, services, photos, and categories all need to be accurate and filled out. Half the battle for local search happens here. If your profile still says you close at 5 but you moved to 6 two years ago, that's costing you.

2. **Service pages that match what people actually search.** Nobody types "automotive maintenance solutions" into Google. They type "brake repair Bullard TX" or "oil change near me." Your site needs pages built around those real phrases — with your pricing, your certifications, and before-and-after photos of actual work.

3. **Technical cleanup.** Page speed, mobile formatting, proper title tags, schema markup that tells Google you're a local auto shop. None of it is glamorous. All of it matters.

4. **Consistent local citations.** Your shop name, address, and phone number need to match everywhere — Yelp, Facebook, industry directories, map listings. Inconsistencies confuse search engines and push you down.

What this looks like from your end

You run your shop. We handle the search stuff. That's about it.

We'll need some input from you early on — what services you want to push, what certifications you carry, photos of your bay and your work. After that, it's mostly us doing the work and sending you reports so you can see what's moving.

Our Website+SEO package starts at $3,500 if you need a new site built alongside the SEO work. If you've already got a decent site and just need the ongoing search and ads management, that starts at $750 a month. No long-term contracts where you're locked in for a year wondering if anything's happening — we show you the numbers and you decide if it's working.
