Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

For denting and painting shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A damaged car is searched from the roadside”
The owner types accident repair near me beside the car while waiting for a tow. The garage that shows with a correct pin, a phone that is answered and the right hours gets the call before the owner scrolls on.
“The pin has to lead a tow truck to the bay”
Bodyshops sit in industrial lanes and back roads. A pin a few streets off sends the tow operator to the wrong gate. A correct location, an entrance photograph and a landmark in the description save the first conversation.
“Reviews are read for finish and for honesty”
The searcher reads the reviews for paint match, for surprises in the bill and for who answered the phone. A few specific recent reviews outweigh a high rating with no detail, and a calm reply to a complaint is read too.
“Insurer names on the listing must be true”
Owners search for cashless repair by insurer name. Listing an insurer the shop is not empanelled with brings the wrong enquiries and a quarrel at the counter. Only the true list belongs on the profile.

How it works
How the local SEO work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Audit every listing
We check the Google Business Profile and directory listings for every branch against what should actually be shown.
- 2
Complete and correct
Profiles are filled in fully and inconsistent details are corrected across every directory found.
- 3
Build location pages
Each branch gets a page written for its own area, not a copy of the head office page with the address changed.
- 4
Set up review handling
A simple process for requesting and responding to reviews is put in place with whoever is closest to the customer.
- 5
Report and adjust
Map actions and enquiries per branch are recorded, and the branches falling behind come first in the next round of work.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
