Automotive marketing
More booked repair orders, more test drives and customers who come back for every oil change.
The Digital Elites runs SEO, Google Ads, websites and content for repair shops and dealerships. We build your marketing around the jobs that pay, the bays you have open and the way drivers choose: a search, a look at your reviews and a call.

How drivers choose
A check-engine light on the way to work, a squeal that needs a brake quote, a fleet manager with twelve vans and a buyer scrolling used trucks on a Sunday are not the same enquiry. Each one searches differently and needs a different page.
They search "auto repair near me" or "car won't start" and call the first shop that says it takes same-day work.
Your ads and Business Profile need hours, same-day diagnostics, a towing note and a tap-to-call number up top.
They search "brake repair cost" or "transmission shop near me" and compare three shops on price and warranty.
Job pages with honest price ranges, your parts-and-labor warranty and online booking win this one more often than not.
Plumbers, landscapers and delivery outfits want priority bays, one monthly invoice and a shop that won't sit on a van.
A fleet page with net terms, turnaround commitments and a direct account contact turns one call into years of work.
They filter used trucks by price and mileage, open five listings and message the dealer with the best photos.
Inventory pages with thirty real photos, a price, a history report and a fast reply to every lead win the test drive.
Visibility to booked work
Most automotive marketing stops at "we got you clicks". The money is made or lost between the click and the repair order.
"How to replace brake pads", part numbers and "free check engine scan" searches eat a big share of many shop budgets.
Tight keyword lists, negative keywords for parts and DIY terms and a radius drawn around where your customers actually drive from, reviewed monthly.
At 8am and 5pm your service advisors are with customers, and the caller who hits voicemail calls the next shop.
Call tracking shows exactly when calls are missed. Instant text-back and online booking catch the ones the counter misses.
Every week customers decline brakes, tires or a timing belt, and nobody follows up after they drive off.
Automated reminders on declined work and mileage-based service due dates, pulled from your shop management system.
Most shops know their car count, not which search, ad or review brought each car in.
Tracked numbers, booking tags and a monthly report tying calls and repair orders back to the channel that produced them.
Call tracking and shop-software or DMS integration depend on your systems. We confirm what's possible before we quote.
Services
Choose a focused service or a coordinated engagement. Your proposal defines the channels, deliverables and responsibilities included.
Own the map pack for your area and show up for the jobs that keep your bays full.
Paid search aimed at urgent repairs, priority jobs and in-stock vehicles, and nothing else.
A site drivers trust in ten seconds: real bays, real techs, clear warranty and booking in two taps.
Reviews decide most repair-shop choices. We make asking for them part of every pickup.
Bring customers back for every oil change and stop declined work disappearing.
Keep your shop or lot visible to local drivers, without your advisors doing it between tickets.
Not sure where to start? Most shops begin with the Business Profile, a few job pages and one tightly targeted ad campaign. Tell us your car count and we'll tell you what we'd do first.

FAQ
We won't put a number on it before we've seen your market, your reviews and your bay capacity, and you should be wary of anyone who does. We can tell you what comparable shops spend to book a repair order in your area, and we report your own cost per booked car from month one.
If your bays have gaps this week, Google Ads for urgent repair and priority jobs is the fastest lever. If you're booked solid but want more transmission, diesel or European work, SEO and job pages build that over the following months. Most shops run a small amount of both.
Yes. A specialty gets its own campaign, its own landing page and its own tracking. We'd rather spend your budget on fifteen transmission enquiries than three hundred oil-change clicks.
Yes. A dealership adds inventory feeds, vehicle ads and sales-lead follow-up on top of service-department marketing, and we connect to your DMS or inventory provider through its official integrations. Independent shops get the same setup without the inventory side.
Ask every customer, yes. Filter who gets asked, offer discounts for reviews or post reviews you didn't earn, no. Google bans review gating and incentives, and the FTC fines fake reviews, so we set up a request that goes to every paying customer and we respond to the bad ones properly.
Agency fees depend on the scope: a Business Profile and ads engagement is very different from a new website plus inventory feeds plus reviews. Ad spend is paid directly to Google and is separate. You get a fixed proposal before anything starts, with no long contract.
