More and more people are tossing their phone books and going online to find a local automotive service shop to repair or service their vehicle.
We know finding an affordable and quality website company or person can be difficult and expensive. Trying to just get simple changes made can take too long and cost too much.
We want to make the process of getting online, simple and affordable for our clients. As the internet continues to grow and replace traditional ways to market your business, we want you ready for it.
Our Website designs and hosting will position your shop for the future and beyond. You just leave the technical stuff to us and focus on your shop.
If they didn't find YOU on the internet, then they found your competition.
Do I Need a Website?
The simple answer is YES. Lets explore the different areas that a website helps your shop with, regardless of being located in a rural area, small town, the suburbs or in a big city.
• New Customer Marketing
When a person is new to town, not happy with the service at their current shop or simply does not want to take their car back to the dealer for service—they will look on the internet for shops in their area. You want to be in front of these searches when they happen.
• Existing Customer Marketing
Most visitors to your website will be existing customers, who may or may not have your phone number handy. When they need a service or repair they type in your shop's name in a search box to get your phone number to contact you. What comes up when they do this? You want them to find your website as the first option and not hope that they find you and not happen to stumble across another shop in town.
Also a website is a simple and inexpensive way to post specials, announcements and events to your customers.
• Referral Marketing
When some one asks their friends or family which shop they use, the answer might be "Joe's down on 50th". They will then want to check you out, so they do a search on the internet, again you want them to find your shop and a website that will assure them that they will be treated well.
• Public Relations
Does your current website properly represent your business? Your shop's image on the internet may be the first thing a person sees when deciding to give you a call. How your website represents your shop may be the difference between them calling you or your competitor.
We have also seen examples of a news organization doing a piece on Honest Auto Shops and finding an MS! website that communicated exactly what they were looking for and ended up on the evening news.
Are you involved in the local community? Displaying your affiliations and charitable activities can be a big drawn in someone being interested in doing business with your shop.
What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
This is creating and setting up your website so that Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing can more easily read and understand your site and what you do. The result of this is that when someone types in what you do, your site then comes up on the search results, obviously the higher the better.
Another part of Search Engine Optimization is Business Listings, these are like the Yellow Pages of the internet. You will see these when you do a Google search and see the map of local businesses or a site like SuperPages.com comes up in the search results. You want to make sure your website is also positioned well in these results.
We want your site found and you getting your slice of the thousands of potential searches in your area. In addition to creating and hosting your new website we also offer Search Engine Optimization for your site. This is done on the initial website and reviewed and adjusted as needed every month. As search patterns and requirements change we will be there making the changes for you.

Some of the Automotive Websites Designed by MS!
|
Shop Name: Exclusive Automotive
Shop Location: Yucaipa, CA
Shop Type: General Repair
Website: www.ExclusiveAuto1.com
Did you have a website before your MS! one? Yes we did, we had it for about 2 years.
What would you say to another shop owner about the website service?
The "second" I heard Management Success was going to build and maintain websites my mind was set on having one. I actually didn't even think twice to get rid of our original site and replace it with one from MS!, it was just how it was going to be...PERIOD! I just based my decision on how much money we have made from "EVERY" other service that we have done with MS! and I just knew it was going to be par for the course and work better than I figured. Well I was right, (and then some), it totally and completely blew away our original site!!! But, like I said, "as I already knew it would".
So here is the final thought, don't wait with your decision on this. You have come this far and you too know how well everything else works! I have found this to actually be one of the top pay offs per service offered. (IT WILL BE BETTER THAN YOU ARE THINKING RIGHT NOW), and I had the bar set very high. You MUST do it, (that is—if you want to increase your car count of course)...
How many new customers per week are you getting from the website? As a tracked average, 6-9 a week. (Or in shop owner language, "Chaaaaaa Ching!!!")

Shop Name: Affordable Automotive
Shop Location: Chico, CA
Shop Type: Auto Repair
Website: www.ChicoAutomotive.com
Did you have a website before your MS! one? I did, but you could never find it. I was one of those NAPA websites.
What would you say to another shop owner about the website service? It's huge! If you're not already understanding that the internet is where it's at, you need to understand, now! You don't need to wait any longer. The longer you wait, the more chance that someone else is going to get in in front of you. The phone book's going away. When people are going to find a business, they're going to search the internet. Not the yellow pages. You need to be high up on that search, and that's what this website does! I like the idea that I pay you guys a monthly fee and you post it, change it and optimize it and do things that are going to change it in a positive way. Whereas other website companies are going to just build it, shake your hand and say, "Thanks for the money, good bye!"
How many new customers per week are you getting from the website? 4-5. It accounts for probably 25% or more of my new customers. It pays for itself.

Shop Name: Marshall Motors
Shop Location: Dallas, TX
Shop Type: European & Asian Imports
Website: www.MarshallMotors.com
Did you have a website before your MS! one? Yes we did.
What would you say to another shop owner about the website service? A Website is all about Optimization and people that know how to make it work. I had a website for over 5 years that just sat there doing nothing and not being found. The staff at M/S educated me to the importance of website maintenance, and how it all worked. And MAN does it make a difference on how you are viewed and how people find you. A well done website will work for you, and better than any yellow page add ever will. The Staff at M/S know there stuff and have the backing to make it work – For YOU!
How many new customers per week are you getting from the website? We are averaging 3 to 4 customers a week that found us first time from the website alone and are BUYING WORK! And many more that were referred to us but use the website to gain knowledge and info on us. It's impressive enough that They don't even look at any other sites.

Shop Name: 3A Automotive
Shop Location: Phoenix, AZ
Shop Type: Auto Repair
Website: www.3AAutomotive.com
Did you have a website before your MS! one? Yes, we had a website for about 10 years before but didn't get much if any business from the website.
What would you say to another shop owner about the website service? They are absolutely crazy if they don't get an MS! website. It is the most valuable, effective and profitable marketing tool that I have ever had in my 10 year of running this shop.
How many new customers per week are you getting from the website? When we first launched the MS! site we were seeing 3-5 and now we are on the first page of "auto repair phoenix az" and we are honestly seeing between 8 & 12 new customers each week from the website. We had 57 new customers in February 2011 which is nearly double what our average was before the website was launched. I can't wait until it gets HOT here in Phoenix! We should be up to an average of 20 new per week from the web if this trend keeps up.

Did you have a website before your MS! one? Yes.
What would you say to another shop owner about the website service? Do it. I get more people complimenting me about my website. New customers tell me they were drawn in because of my web presence. It's a rewarding feeling for me when people want to come in for service for the first time without them having the assurance of a referral, only based on our web presence.
