Google & Meta Ads for Automotive Services

Automotive service customers usually search when they have a problem today — a cracked windshield, a breakdown, a car that needs to be ready for sale. That makes calls and quote requests the core conversion, and local relevance the core targeting decision.

Leads that matter

What we track and optimise for

  • Phone calls from search
  • Quote requests with vehicle details
  • Online bookings
  • Emergency/24h calls (towing, lockout)

Approach

How I run ads for automotive services

  1. Separate emergency-intent campaigns (towing, glass) from planned services (detailing, tint, ceramic coating) because they behave differently in cost and timing.
  2. Tight radius and “presence” location targeting so you only pay for people who can actually reach you.
  3. Meta Ads for visual, higher-ticket services like ceramic coating, PPF and tint — before/after creative does the selling.
  4. Call tracking with minimum duration so short wrong-number calls do not train bidding.

Process

How we would work together

  1. Discovery & Research

    We define what a qualified lead is worth to you, then I research search demand, competitors, your service area and your current account to find where money is leaking.

    OutcomeLead definition, budget estimate, audit findings

  2. Tracking & Campaign Setup

    Calls, forms and bookings are tracked as separate, verified conversions before a single dollar is spent. Campaigns are built around intent, location and offer.

    OutcomeVerified tracking, campaign structure, ads & landing page plan

  3. Launch & Data Collection

    Campaigns go live with controlled budgets. I watch search terms, lead quality and call recordings closely and remove waste early, while the platforms gather learning data.

    OutcomeLive campaigns, early waste removed, first lead-quality feedback

  4. Optimization & Scaling

    Budget shifts toward what produces qualified leads and booked jobs. Winning campaigns are scaled carefully; offline conversions teach bidding what a good lead looks like.

    OutcomeLower cost per qualified lead, documented changes, monthly review
