Anyone tried Groupon?
autobodyguys replied to CAautogroup's topic in Marketing, Advertising, & Promoting
We stay away from Groupon. Not our target market. I hate dealing with cheapskates. They are always looking for "another deal". -
Google Search - What Happened?
autobodyguys replied to Charlie's topic in Marketing, Advertising, & Promoting
Yes, the internet game is constantly changing. We also hired an internet marketing company to handle our website, seo, ppc, and our social media. I have enough on my plate to try and take on all that as well. My shop has never been busier and I'm pretty sure they work with shops nationwide. Here is the website if you want to check them out: digital marketing company -
I just wanted to share a quick tip that I think is easily overlooked... invest in your community! And not just one. I have to say a lot of our success comes from the local community who have seen our name at the local booster clubs, fundraisers, sponsorships, etc. Don't count out your local chamber or commerce either. Host get-togethers/business functions at our shop, get a little league banner, run a "contest" if you will that will benefit the local food bank. Get involved! You will be better known around the community if you do. It has helped us grow so quickly these last couple of years. I rarely say no to a sponsorship and it has paid off in the end. Here is one of the last community sponsorships we did. We tied it into our local "best of" contest that we have in town: Best Auto Body Shop in Orangevale

Negative review while serving vehicle
autobodyguys replied to CAautogroup's topic in Customer Experience & Reviews
Always respond to the negative review. It shows other potential customers that you care and acknowledge the complaint. Just remember when commenting you are not responding to the customer, you are responding to everyone reading. -
Pass on BBB. With Yelp, Google reviews and facebook review people are not turning to BBB anymore. But it is important to not have a low grade from them.
