Auto dealer and repair shop marketing for the driver who searches from the breakdown lane
Whether someone needs brakes today or a golf cart this spring, they start on Google Maps or ask an AI. The shop with the right categories, current inventory, recent reviews and a phone that gets answered wins. We run that for dealers and shops, from inventory pages to service booking to the review after the oil change.

Sound familiar?
We hear the same four things from auto dealers and repair shops in every first call. Each one has a specific fix below.
Service calls during the lunch rush
The bay is full, the phone rings, nobody picks up. That brake job books at the shop down the road.
Inventory pages nobody maintains
Sold units still listed, new arrivals not posted, prices wrong. Buyers stop trusting the site.
One bad review outranks 500 good jobs
Repair shops live on trust. Unanswered negative reviews and no recent positives make the next customer hesitate.
“Mechanic near me” now has one answer
Google's AI Overview and ChatGPT pick a shop. Inconsistent listings and a thin site mean they pick someone else.
Service booked online, reminders sent, review requested
Oil change, tires, inspection: booked from the website or by the AI receptionist into your shop calendar, reminders that cut no-shows, and a review request when the car rolls out.
How it starts
Free check, then the shop audit
Free Online Presence Check for AI and Maps visibility, then a $497 audit of Business Profile categories (auto repair shop, tire shop, used car dealer, golf cart dealer), listings, inventory pages and site speed.

Auto shop and dealer SEO and AI search

What to expect, and when

By day 90
Service pages ranking for repair searches in your town. Reviews climbing. Fewer no-shows and fuller bays from booking and reminders.
