Industry Challenges

The challenges collision repair businesses face

We understand the unique obstacles you face in growing your auto body shop business.

Insurance DRP Dependency

Relying on insurance programs means accepting lower margins, delayed payments, and losing control over your customer relationships.

Shrinking Profit Margins

Parts, paint, and labor costs keep rising while insurance reimbursements stay flat, squeezing your profits year after year.

Cash Flow Challenges

Waiting 60-90 days for insurance payments while paying for parts, labor, and overhead puts enormous strain on operations.

MSO Competition

Multi-shop operators with massive marketing budgets dominate search results and capture customers before you get a chance.

Technician Shortages

Experienced collision techs are scarce. Without steady work flow and competitive pay, retaining quality talent is nearly impossible.

Poor Online Visibility

When customers search "body shop near me" or "collision repair," your competition shows up first because they invested in marketing.

Our Approach

How we build predictable repair orders

Our proven methodology combines immediate results with long-term market dominance, all while building your premium brand and reducing reliance on insurance programs.

Immediate Lead Generation

Launch targeted PPC campaigns within 48 hours to start generating collision repair and body shop leads immediately while long-term strategies build momentum.

Market Dominance

Build lasting authority through SEO and AEO so you rank first when customers search for collision repair, auto body, and PDR services—at 75-90% lower cost than PPC.

Brand Building

Establish yourself as the go-to collision repair expert in your market through compelling repair showcases, social proof, and consistent visibility across all platforms.

Systems That Scale

Implement automated estimate request systems, online scheduling, and conversion optimization that work 24/7 to convert leads into $2,000-$5,000 repair jobs without constant manual effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Collision repair marketing questions answered

Everything you need to know about marketing your body shop business.

Budget requirements vary based on your market and competition. Small markets typically need $2,000-4,000/month, medium markets $4,000-8,000/month, and large metro markets $8,000-15,000+/month. During your free consultation, we'll provide market-specific recommendations based on your average repair order value and local competition.

PPC advertising generates collision repair leads within 24-48 hours and reaches optimal performance in 30-60 days. SEO shows initial improvements in 2-3 months with significant traffic increases by 4-6 months. Most body shop clients see measurable improvement in estimate requests within the first 30 days.

No. While we recommend minimum 6-month engagements for optimal results, we don't lock clients into long-term contracts. Our services are month-to-month after an initial onboarding period. We earn your business every month through consistent repair leads, not contractual obligations.

We focus on attracting direct customers through targeted advertising for services like PDR, cosmetic repairs, and quality-conscious consumers willing to pay for premium work. By building your online reputation and local visibility, more customers choose your shop directly rather than going through insurance referrals.

We specialize in collision repair and body shop marketing with deep expertise in the industry. We understand insurance dynamics, high-ticket repair customer behavior, and how to showcase before/after results effectively. We've generated thousands of leads specifically for collision repair businesses.

The optimal strategy combines both. PPC delivers immediate collision repair leads while SEO builds long-term authority. We typically recommend body shops allocate 60-70% to PPC initially (higher-value repairs justify ad spend), then shift toward 50/50 as SEO momentum builds.

Absolutely. We customize strategies for specialty shops. PDR-focused shops, luxury/exotic vehicle specialists, fleet repair operations, and full-service collision centers all require different approaches. We tailor keywords, messaging, and targeting to attract your ideal customers.

Body shop clients typically achieve 350-500% ROI within 6-12 months due to high-value repair orders. For example, if you invest $5,000/month and generate 80 leads at $60/lead with a 35% close rate and $3,000 average repair value, that's $84,000 in revenue—a significant return on your marketing investment.

Absolutely. Google Business Profile optimization is critical for collision repair. We optimize your profile with before/after photos, manage reviews, post updates about certifications and services, and ensure you're appearing in local map pack searches for "body shop near me" and "collision repair near me".

We create location-specific campaigns and landing pages for each service area or location. This includes local SEO for each area, geo-targeted ads, and location-specific Google Business Profiles. Multi-location body shops can track performance separately for each facility.
