Drivers want a price and a time slot, not a phone number at the bottom of a page.
The Challenge
The garage's site listed every service on one page with a phone number at the bottom. Drivers searching for a specific job, like an AC regas or a brake check, could not see a price or book online.

How We Did It, Service by Service
PPC
Ads for the job, not the garage
Separate ad groups for AC repair, brakes, servicing and diagnostics meant each search saw an ad for exactly that job, with a price in the headline.
Website
Book in three taps
The rebuilt site gave every job its own page with a price and an online booking form, so drivers could book a slot from their phone without calling.
What We Delivered
- Service-level ad groups
- Website rebuild with online booking
