Local Marketing for California Auto Shop

My independent automotive repair shop in California needs a stronger local presence so more drivers nearby actually walk through our doors. I’d like you to concentrate on Google, Siri and the main local directories, using a mix of local link building and AI-driven advertising to make that happen. Here’s what I’m looking for you to handle: • Audit our current listings and fix any NAP inconsistencies. • Secure high-quality, relevant local backlinks from automotive and community sites. • Fine-tune our Google Business Profile so we surface in the 3-pack for common repair queries. • Optimise for voice search so Siri easily recommends us when people ask for “mechanic near me.” • Design and run AI-powered ad campaigns targeted within a tight radius of the shop, tracking conversions that translate into real-world visits. • Provide concise monthly reports that show ranking improvements, link acquisitions and, most importantly, estimated foot-traffic gains. If you’ve done this before for brick-and-mortar businesses—and can prove results—I’d love to hear how quickly you can start and what data you’ll use to measure success.
