THIRD BAY MARKETING Marketing for independent auto repair shops

What's costing you car count, in one call.

Before anyone talks about a monthly fee, we go through your ads, your Google profile, your site, and whatever call data you have, and we tell you what we'd change first. It takes us a few hours and it takes you twenty minutes. There's no charge and nothing to sign.

Why shop owners put this off.

"I don't know if my agency is doing anything."

Neither do most owners. You can't audit what you can't see, and nobody handed you a login.

"I've been quoted three times and heard three stories."

Every one of them started with a package. None of them started with your account.

"I don't have time for a sales meeting."

This isn't one. Twenty minutes on the phone, and you keep the findings whatever you decide.

What we look at before we talk.

01

Your ads account

Where the money went, what it bought, and how much of it landed on searches you'd never want. Usually the fastest find in the audit.

02

Your Google Business Profile

Categories, services, photos, reviews, and where you rank on a grid across your service area rather than from our desk.

03

Your website

Load time on a phone, whether the number is tappable, whether there's a page per repair, and whether anything at all is tracked.

04

Your phone

If there's call data we'll read it. If there isn't, we will talk about what your advisor says when somebody asks the price of brakes.

05

Two numbers from you

Last month of ad spend and your car count. They frame everything else on the call.

Read-only access, twenty minutes, your call after.

Before

Read-only access

View access on the ads account and manager access on the profile. We don't need your passwords and we don't change anything.

The call

Twenty minutes

What we found, ranked, biggest leak first. Take notes or let us send the list afterward.

After

Your call

If it makes sense to work together we'll quote it. If it doesn't, you still have the list and you can hand it to whoever you like.

What shop owners ask about this one.

What's the catch?

There isn't one, and we'd rather say that plainly than dress it up. Some of these calls end with us telling a shop their market is already taken, or that their problem isn't marketing.

Do I have to give you my passwords?

No. Read-only access through Google's own account sharing, and you can revoke it in two clicks.

What if I'm under contract with someone?

Bring the contract. Finding your notice period is often part of the audit.

Will you tell me what it costs to work with you?

On the same call. Google Ads management averages about $1,500 a month and an SEO retainer about $2,000, and you'll have your number before we hang up.

Other ways to prove it worked

In twenty minutes, you'll know where your car count is going.

Bring your last month of ad spend and your car count. We'll tell you what we'd change first, whether you hire us or not.
