ADS FOR SHOPS THAT NEED WORK ON THE SCHEDULE NOW

Our auto body shop ads management starts from one fact: paid campaigns are the fastest way to add estimate requests when the schedule thins out or a hail event hits your market. Search ads capture drivers who are looking for a shop today. Meta ads keep your shop familiar to local drivers so you are the name they remember when something happens.

We build both: Google campaigns tightly scoped to collision and repair intent, and Meta campaigns with creative built around real repairs, free estimate offers and the questions drivers ask about insurance.

Every campaign runs with call tracking and form tracking so you can see cost per estimate request instead of guessing.

CLICKS ARE EXPENSIVE WHEN THE TARGETING IS LOOSE

MOST WASTED SPEND COMES FROM THE WRONG SEARCHES

Auto body keywords attract parts shoppers, DIY researchers, job seekers and people looking for salvage vehicles. Without disciplined negatives and tight geography, a large share of the budget goes to clicks that were never going to become a repair order.

  • Scope campaigns to your real service radius, not a whole metro.
  • Filter out parts, DIY, salvage and employment searches with negatives.
  • Send each ad group to a page that matches the exact repair type.

TRACKING

Call tracking, form tracking and conversion values so decisions are based on estimate requests, not clicks.

WHAT WE MANAGE IN YOUR AD ACCOUNTS

Ads management is ongoing work, not a launch. Search terms, creative fatigue and seasonal demand all change week to week.

Here is what is included in an auto body ads program.

  • Account structure by repair type and priority job
  • Keyword research and continuous negative keyword work
  • Meta audiences, retargeting and lookalike testing
  • Ad copy and creative testing with real repair photos
  • Landing page recommendations for each campaign
  • Call tracking and form conversion setup
  • Budget pacing around hail and seasonal demand
  • Weekly search term and creative review
  • Monthly reporting on spend, leads and cost per estimate request

WHY PAID CAMPAIGNS UNDERPERFORM FOR SHOPS

The most common failure is sending every ad to the homepage. A driver who clicked a hail damage ad should land on a hail damage page with photos, an insurance explanation and a photo estimate form.

The second is untracked calls. If phone calls are not attributed to campaigns, the account gets optimized around form fills while most of the real demand arrives by phone.

The third is stale creative. Meta audiences in a local market see the same ads quickly, so creative needs a regular refresh to keep cost per lead stable.
