How to Advertise Your Auto Repair Shop Online Locally – Part I

Did you know that all the phone calls you are getting, almost in a daily basis, offering to get your auto repair shop to the top position of Google‘s search results for a sometimes substantial fee, you can do most of it yourself for FREE?

I can guarantee you that if you implement the FREE resources here, your business will increase substantially within three to six months. I know this might be a lot of reading, but if you really want to increase your customer count and grow your business, its definitely worth the time.

The main objective of this blog is to help auto repair shop owners, and members of our www.ocautoservice.com online directory, get the most out of their Internet exposure. Most resources I will be writing about, are free. All that is required, is the time to implement it. Now, I think I know what you are thinking, “when would I have the time to do it?” To me, that’s like saying, I don’t have the time to make more money, I don’t have the time to grow my business. Having been a shop owner myself for many years, I know exactly how you feel. The idea is to perhaps sacrifice a couple hours on a weekend, or find yourself somebody that can do it for you. By instance, high schools are full of young people that will gladly do it for you on a part time basis. Most successful business people will tell you that in order to grow your business, you must delegate. This is one time that it would be very helpful to do that, it needs to be done!

Most of our suggestions have been already implemented by a few of our www.ocautoservice.com member shops that attended the free online class we have been offering for a while (via email to all our members). The results obtained are quite positive. If you would like to attend our free half hour online webinar and see “Live” how all items mentioned here work, just go to www.ecommnow.com and fill our the form at the top right of the page, I will gladly schedule a time for you.

    Word of mouth would be a good way to spread the news about your auto shop locally you can tell friends to refer you to people they know and those people could also spread the news that’s a good way to get potential client well all of these would be possible if you can treat your customers nicely or if they could have a good customer service experience on your shop you can also give away some discounts via auto repair coupons in order to attract more customer people go crazy over discounts.
