Very nice website. Looks to be search engine optimized well. When I type "ken's auto service" in Google, it comes up. Does it come up for your area? I see your keywords are good, and zip code targeted:

 

auto repair, car repair, automotive service, auto garage, mechanic, brake repair, engine repair, shocks, struts, suspension work, air conditioning, tune-up, akron, canton, springfield, cut-rate, mufflers, exhaust, 44312, 44310, 44305, 44301, 44308, ohio, brakes, tune ups, diagnosis, towing, radiators, computer diagnosis, fleet repairs, starters, guarantee, warranty, certified, ASE.

 

Looks good, nice layout.

 

I don't have a site up currently, but do have some expericence with them.

That is quite a bit of traffic. I need to build a Facebook page for our business also.

 

 

Yeah, I also use a google function called "Local Business Center" which is another free listing that Google offers. You can edit your existing listing on their site and "own" it. You can upload information about your business, hours, pictures, etc. It also tracks your hits to your listing. I get over 2500 impressions monthly with around 700-1000 clicks for more information. I have had tremendous success with it. When I created the Facebook page, Google automatically picked it up and attached a link to it under my listing. That is where the traffic is coming from mostly.

 

I would suggest everyone set up this Local Business Center, it is the single most successful advertising that I have done to date and it didn't cost me a dime. See one of my listings here: One location. Each individual shop has a listing with pictures and info. Google is amazing.

I recently got my website redesigned. What do you guys think? Its a work in progress but this is main idea.

 

www.CARMandP.com

 

Looks good. I like the graphics and layout. You have some JS (javascript) errors. 3 that I see when the pages load. (Internet Explorer 8) You may want to have your designer look into that.

 

Your keywords are:

 

car, auto, tn, white, house, auto repair, auto repair white house, auto repair white house tn, car repair, imports, import auto repair tn, foreign, bmw, volvo, mercedes, saab, volkswagon, honda, nissan, toyota, mitsubishi

 

They are good, however..they are the same for every page. You may want to do something let's say for this page: Our Auto Repair Services , and add some of those services in there. Make each page as unique as possible.

 

I would also include your shop name as part of every title, like:

 

About Us - CAR Maintenance & Performance

Our Auto Repair Services - CAR Maintenance & Performance

 

It's not always great to copy a site title to every page, but in your case...the words CAR and Maintenance are good title key words.

 

You should resubmit your website to:

 

Google.com

Bing.com

Yahoo.com

dmoz.org

 

Currently in google, you have 2 listings only and they are from 2008: Google

 

Hopefully this will help you a bit. :D

We have been working on our first site for a couple of months now and just turned it on yesterday afternoon. Let me know what you all think.

www.hoganmuffler.com

 

Nice layout. You should change your page title tags and add Hogan Muffler in there. Every page has the same page title: Performance Exhaust Topeka Kansas, Auto Repair Services, Mendrel Bending, Mufflers, Brakes

 

Also a JS error in IE8

I like it that you are using reCaptcha: Performance Exhaust Topeka Kansas, Auto Repair Services, Mendrel Bending, Mufflers, Brakes We use that here also to combat spam and false inputs. Can I suggest that you add your header to thsi page also? The appointment page. Unless it's just not loading on that page for me.

I have seen some incredible websites that have been created. I am thinking that the one i created is nothing to be compared to the ones i have seen. But i am just a beginner in webdesign so i have a long way to go.

 

 

So I am Creating a site for my cuzin's repair shop. I am open to suggestions, If you happen to come across a count down screen refresh, As i will be removing it tonight for a few days for some feed back. It doesn't go live for 18days. So i want to make any and all changes i need to.

      I recently spoke with a friend of mine who owns a large general repair shop in the Midwest. His father founded the business in 1975. He was telling me that although he’s busy, he’s also very frustrated. When I probed him more about his frustrations, he said that it’s hard to find qualified technicians. My friend employs four technicians and is looking to hire two more. I then asked him, “How long does a technician last working for you.” He looked puzzled and replied, “I never really thought about that, but I can tell that except for one tech, most technicians don’t last working for me longer than a few years.”
      Judging from personal experience as a shop owner and from what I know about the auto repair industry, I can tell you that other than a few exceptions, the turnover rate for technicians in our industry is too high. This makes me think, do we have a technician shortage or a retention problem? Have we done the best we can over the decades to provide great pay plans, benefits packages, great work environments, and the right culture to ensure that the techs we have stay with us?
      Finding and hiring qualified automotive technicians is not a new phenomenon. This problem has been around for as long as I can remember. While we do need to attract people to our industry and provide the necessary training and mentorship, we also need to focus on retention. Having a revolving door and needing to hire techs every few years or so costs your company money. Big money! And that revolving door may be a sign of an even bigger issue: poor leadership, and poor employee management skills.
      Here’s one more thing to consider, for the most part, technicians don’t leave one job to start a new career, they leave one shop as a technician to become a technician at another shop. The reasons why they leave can be debated, but there is one fact that we cannot deny, people don’t quit the company they work for, they usually leave because of the boss or manager they work for.
      Put yourselves in the shoes of your employees. Do you have a workplace that communicates, “We appreciate you and want you to stay!”
