What we do

  • We read the account before we touch it. Campaign structure, targeting, match types, negatives and where the budget is actually going, written down and walked through with you.
  • We aim spend at calls worth answering. Not more clicks. Fewer callers outside your service area, fewer price shoppers, fewer people hunting for a part.
  • We produce creative at volume. 1200+ creatives a week across our client base, a five to seven day turnaround, placement-native cuts, and a human brand check before anything ships.
Our Approach

Targeted Campaigns Built To Drive Actual Bookings

We analyze your account, eliminate non-converting search terms, and deliver local ad creative at scale.

Account diagnostics first

We audit campaign structures, match types, negative keywords, and real budget allocation before touching anything.

High-intent call targeting

We focus ad spend strictly on local drivers ready to book repairs, filtering out parts seekers and price shoppers.

High-volume creative engine

We deliver placement-native cuts with a five to seven day turnaround and complete human quality control.

The Waste

Where Your Marketing Budget Leaks Daily

Most transmission shops receive plenty of clicks, but too few calls from real vehicle owners ready to book.

Out-of-radius callers

Drivers two towns over tap your ads, wasting budget and front-desk time.

Unqualified price shoppers

Callers demanding phone quotes for undiagnosed rebuilds tie up your service advisors.

Parts and DIY searches

Clicks for solenoids, torque converters or used parts consume your ad spend.

Wrong vehicle types

Unfiltered campaigns pay for heavy-duty, fleet or CVT jobs you routinely turn away.

Outdated account drift

Legacy campaign structures keep spending against unoptimized, year-old keyword strategies.

Real Results

How We Helped A Transmission Shop Turn Around Google Ads

A multi-location transmission specialist came to us with a full call log and an empty bay schedule. Here is what changed.

01Before

A busy phone that booked nothing

Another agency held the account. Calls came in all day and the service advisors spent them screening.

  • One shared budget across every location, so the strongest shop subsidised the weakest
  • Broad match running unchecked, pulling in parts, salvage and DIY searches
  • Radii drawn wider than any of the shops could realistically serve
  • Ad groups unsegmented, so no service or location could be read on its own
  • Optimisation pointed at total calls, which rewarded the noise

02What we changed

Rebuilt, in that order

We audited first and wrote down every problem with its evidence before touching a single setting.

  • Segmented the account by location and by service, each with its own budget and its own read
  • Reset geography to local drive-time radii, targeting presence rather than passing interest
  • Tightened match types and built a negative keyword list around parts, salvage, DIY, price-only and the vehicle types they turn away
  • Rewrote the ad copy to state the service, the vehicles they take, the ones they do not, and what happens on the first call
  • Added AI-driven search term and creative analysis, reviewed by a strategist before anything went live
  • Moved optimisation onto calls that qualify instead of calls that ring

03After

Fewer calls, better ones

Measured on the same terms as before: what came in, what it cost, and how much of it was worth answering.

  • Advisors screening less and quoting more
  • Spend concentrated on searches inside the service area
  • Each location readable on its own, so budget moves where it works
  • Reporting separates qualified calls from total calls
50%↓Cost per qualified call$68 → $34
60%↓Unqualified calls38% → 15% of total
77%↑Search conversion rate8.2% → 14.5%

Cost per qualified call is the figure that matters here, because the problem was never call volume. It is derived from cost per lead and the share of calls that were worth answering.

Monthly ad spend

unchangedunchanged
same budget, different mix

One client, in their own market, at their own spend level, with their own pricing and offer. This is a record of what happened in that account, not a forecast for yours. Results vary by market, budget, season, vehicle mix and how the phone is answered. We will not name the client or the number of locations; if you want to speak to a reference, we will ask them first.

The Advantage

Why Creative Message Drives Shop Revenue

In local markets, targeting is identical. Specific offers and clear messaging are what convert drivers into customers.

Local service ads compete in identical geographic radii for identical search terms, so targeting alone is no longer a differentiator. High-performing shops win by tailoring messaging to specific vehicle types, warranties, diagnostic steps and turnaround speed. By producing 1200+ localized creatives a week we systematically test angles to find which messages produce qualified calls.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions Before Getting Started

Everything you need to know about our workflow, agency handoffs, turnaround times, and multi-location management support structure.

What happens to our current agency?

We perform non-disruptive account audits while your current team runs campaigns, ensuring a seamless migration when you are ready.

How long before we see a difference?

Audit results are immediate. New creative launches in five to seven days, and targeting updates improve call quality straight away.

Do you work with multi-location shops?

Each shop site receives dedicated budgeting, local drive-time radii, localized creative, and independent performance tracking.

What do you need from us to start?

Access to your Google Ads account, the service area for each location, the jobs you want more of and the ones you would rather not take, the vehicle types you work on, and how calls are handled at the front desk. If you have call recordings or a lead log, that is the fastest way for us to see what qualified actually means in your shop rather than in theory.

Can you guarantee a number of calls?

No. We do not promise a call volume, a cost per lead, a return figure or a ranking. What we commit to is a documented audit before anything changes, 1200+ creatives a week across our client base, a five to seven day turnaround from approved brief, placement-native cuts, a human brand check before anything ships, and reporting that separates qualified calls from total calls.
