THE CHALLENGE

Service and retail require different approaches.

Automotive businesses span two very different digital marketing contexts. Service businesses (mechanics, smash repairers, detailers) need high-intent local search coverage — Google Ads and Local SEO targeting suburb-level service queries. Automotive retail (dealers, used car sales) needs product-level inventory advertising — Performance Max with vehicle feed integration, dynamic retargeting, and display awareness. Both categories compete in high-CPC Google auctions where Quality Score and landing page relevance determine whether you win or lose to competitors paying the same CPC.
