Question 1

How much should I budget for Google Ads?

Accepted Answer

For a single-location auto repair shop, we typically recommend starting with $600-$1,200 per month in ad spend. That's the fuel, and our management fee covers the strategy and tuning. The right number depends on your services, competition in your city, and what a new customer is worth to your shop. We'll build a projection before you commit a dollar.

Question 2

What kind of searches will my ads show up for?

Accepted Answer

We target high-intent searches like "oil change near me," "brake repair [city]," "transmission shop," and service-specific queries relevant to what you offer. We also set up negative keyword lists to block irrelevant traffic. DIY searches, job seekers, and competitors researching your prices won't eat your budget.

Question 3

Will I get leads right away?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Google Ads can generate calls and form submissions within days of launch. The first 30 days are a calibration period where we gather data and tighten the targeting. By month two, the campaign is dialed in and typically hitting its stride.

Question 4

How do I know the ads are actually working?

Accepted Answer

We set up call tracking numbers and conversion tracking so every phone call and form fill tied to an ad is recorded. Your monthly report shows impressions, clicks, calls, cost per lead, and which ads are outperforming. No guesswork, just clean data on what's driving revenue.

Question 5

Can I pause or stop the ads at any time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You own the ad account and can pause or stop campaigns whenever you want. No long-term lock-in on the ad spend itself. We do ask for 30 days notice on management services so we can wrap up properly, but you're never trapped.
