90-day online marketing plan
Hookline Towing
Hookline Towing will earn more calls from drivers in trouble, and from the garages and fleets that call again and again, by being easy to find, easy to ring and clear about how it works.
More calls and enquiries · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Make the Google Business Profile ready for a driver in a hurry, with the phone number as the main button, the area you cover, hours that say day and night and photos of your trucks, because most people searching tow truck near me are standing next to the problem.
Build a website that works on a phone with a weak signal, with a call button at the top, a plain page for each service and a clear line on how prices are agreed before a vehicle is moved.
Win the businesses that call repeatedly, such as garages, dealerships and fleets, with a short profile, a visit and one number they can save.

Your channels, in order
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
A stranded driver taps the map result with its call button, so this is the page that earns the most calls.
- Choose towing service as the main category, add the area you cover and set the hours to day and night if that is true.
- Add photos of your trucks, your drivers in high-visibility clothing and a vehicle being loaded, so people know what will arrive.
- Reply to every review, and ask drivers you have helped to review once the vehicle is safe, with a link sent by text.
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost
Drivers type the service they need, such as flatbed towing or jump start near me, and a separate page for each puts you in front of them.
- Build a page each for roadside recovery, breakdown towing, jump starts and vehicle transport, built around the searches above.
- Put a call button and the phone number at the top of every page, with a short line on how pricing works.
- Add a page for garages and fleets with a short form for account enquiries.
Local partners Medium effort · Free
Garages, dealerships, body shops and fleets give repeat work and pass on drivers they cannot help themselves.
- Visit garages, dealerships and body shops with a one-page profile and a card with a single number to save.

Truck lettering and cards Low effort · Low cost
Your trucks are on the road every day, and each one is a moving advert in front of drivers who may need you tomorrow.
- Put your phone number and website in large letters on the doors and the back of every truck.
- Leave a small card with each driver you help, with the number to save and a line asking them to pass it on.
Facebook Medium effort · Low cost
Local groups are where people ask who to ring when a car breaks down, and a recommendation there carries real weight.

- Answer recommendation requests in local groups where businesses may reply, without pushing.
- Share a short safety tip a week, such as what to do when a car stops on a busy road.
