90-day online marketing plan
Gloss Garage Detailing
Gloss Garage Detailing will bring more cars through its bay by showing up in local searches, proving its work with real before and after photos and making a drop-off easy to book.
More visits to your shop · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Make your Google Business Profile the front door of the bay, with the right category, exact opening hours, directions and photos of the unit, so people searching for car detailing near me can find you and drive over.
Give each main service its own page on your website, with photos from your bay, what is included and a clear way to book a drop-off slot.
Turn every finished car into the next booking by asking for a review at collection and inviting the owner back for a maintenance wash.
