Riccardo, You're right! What's worse is Google is adding changes every day. The biggest issue is proving you're a real business. You do that with 'human interaction' (AKA customer reviews) Here's some help:

You're 100% correct! I agree - but people keep chasing some stupid "AI" thing. The real problem is... 1- Every shop owner KNOWS word of mouth works 2- Those referrals are better customers 3- They don't have a system to actually set up referrals. I've got the perfect system - costs nothing! If you're interested, comment REFERRAL and I'll send you the details! Hope this helps! Thanks! Matthew "The Car Count Fixer"

The biggest issue we still see is that repair shops don't communicate with their customers. Instead, they chase new ones. It's about staying in touch. We just set up a client with our latest 'set-it-and-forget-it' text/email nurture sequence. It only goes on for a year... Anyone want to see how it works, drop a comment with the word LIST - and I'll send you the details. Hope this helps! Matthew "The Car Count Fixer"

Exactly! This is for everyone... go to Google and search "YOUR SERVICE" like auto repair, brake, repair or whatever + CITY, STATE and read the results. You'll quickly see how 'lost' you are in the market as well as how many shops that appear and are NOT on main streets. Yes, location is important but it's not the be all and end all. Hope this help.

Hey Zenoo! Glad to hear! I like the fact that you raised parts pricing; you didn't say, but you should be on a 'parts pricing matrix' so you don't leave yourself short. As for labor rate, that should probably be nudged up too. I say nudged but you don't say what it is. I don't want to bore you with details here; got some simple strategies you could use to improve all that too., Let me know how we can connect. If you want, you're welcome to book a call here: https://thecarcountfixer.com/zoom Best of luck! Matthew

So you know, I see you've got that magic 'pixy-dust-remover'... just tried it again and it's working! Nice job. I am tied up right now but going to have a look at a quick call.. I have some clients who may have an interest. Thanks! Matthew

Just out of curiosity I checked your website. The "Book a Demo" button doesn't work. Hope this helps! Matthew

Here's what I find funny about this entire conversation. It's focused on what it costs for the website- not how much it makes. Really. Isn't that what your website was supposed to do? What's better than that is, since mid 2023, Google had changed the way local search happens. So your website may be doing a great job explaining the importance of regular oil changes and tire rotations - but not to the right people. (Not to mention your website doesn't have an offer that compels them to book a job 😉 Today, if YOU can't find your shop on line - how do you expect your customer to find you? It's all about your GBP or Google Business Profile. That's where customers leave you reviews and can call you; book a job; even get current info about you. In short, look after your GBP and Google will be your biggest "referral partner". Don't do it - you're probably looking at numbered days. Instead of forking over a pile of money for a website that doesn't sell and paying for SEO that doesn't work to help your website - Just get more customer reviews! That's the human interaction that Google needs to see - that proves you're a real business and an authoriy in your market. Hope this help! Matthew

I agree 100% Shop Boost Marketing! As much as I love taking pics with my Canon R5 - I am still amazed with what I get and see from others right off their phone. And while you're at it GTA Transmission Repair, create a "naming convention" and post those simple phone pics to your GBP where they may actually do some good. When I say naming convention, don't post pictures that are just file names out of the camera- like IMAGE-1.jpg, IMAGE-2.jpg - create a naming convention so that each picture you post is names "auto-service-city-state-GTA-Transmission-Repair.jog" - essentially naming each picture using the keywords that will help your GPB (Google Business Profile) get noticed and rank. I had a peak at your GBP and when I checked, the images posted there are all generic names (typically - your shop name) and they're 5 years old! When I had a look at your GBP, you're not far from being listed in the Map Pack. Not sure why you're thinking about publishing a blog on your website, but concentrating on your GBP and more human interaction (quantity of reviews and recency of reviews) and replacing those (or adding to) those 5 year old pics would do a lot more. Good luck! Hope this helps! Matthew

Would love to explore what you're doing. If it works for you, I can shoot you a link to my Zoom calendar. Let me know what you think. Matthew
