90-day online marketing plan
Torque Masters Garage
Torque Masters Garage will fill its bays by showing up on the map, making a booking simple on its website and explaining every quote clearly.
More visits to your shop · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Make the garage easy to find and easy to trust on Google, with the address, opening hours, directions and reviews that mention the job done and the way it was explained.
Turn the website into a booking page for the jobs people search for, each with what is included, how a quote works and a simple form to book a time to bring the car in.
Bring back the drivers you already have with a text when a service is due, and win the nearby ones with a clear sign, a card and the local firms that run vehicles.

Your channels, in order
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
Drivers searching for a mechanic near me look at the map, the opening hours and the reviews, then ring or drive over.
- Choose the car repair category that fits best, list diagnostics, servicing, brakes, tyres and bodywork as services and set your opening hours.
- Add photographs of the forecourt, the workshop and the front desk, so drivers know where to turn in and who will greet them.
- Hand each driver a card, or send a text link, asking for a review when the car is collected, and reply by naming the job.
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost
Drivers search for the exact job they need, so a page for each job lets you show what is included, how quotes work and how to book.
- Build a page for each job, servicing, brakes, tyres, diagnostics and bodywork, around the phrases drivers search for.
- Explain how a quote works, from the first look to the call before any extra work, and add a form asking for the car, the problem and a preferred day.
- Show a map, the parking and drop-off arrangements and the opening hours on every page.
Reminders by text and email Low effort · Free
Cars come back on a rhythm of services, brakes and tyres, and a reminder from a garage they trust brings them in before something fails.
- Ask for a mobile number and permission at every job, and note when the next service is due.
- Send a short text a few weeks before it is due, with a link to book a time.
Facebook Medium effort · Low cost
Local groups are where drivers ask each other for a garage they can trust, and a page shows them a real address.
- Create a page with the garage address and hours, a message button and a call button, and join community groups where people ask for recommendations.
- Share one finished job a week, with the customer's permission.
Recovery firms, taxi firms and small fleets Medium effort · Low cost
Recovery drivers, taxi firms and tradespeople with vans need a dependable garage and often recommend the one they use.

- Offer a small fleet one named contact and a set time each week to bring vehicles in.
Signs and cards near the garage Low effort · Low cost
Drivers who pass the garage or work nearby are the easiest to bring in, and they only visit a garage they have noticed.

- Leave cards with nearby shops, offices and workplaces, and ask whether staff may keep one.
