What we actually do for detailing businesses
Google Maps and local search
Most people looking for a detailer search on their phone, close to home, ready to book within a day or two. We get your Google Business Profile ranking for the terms that matter, categorised properly so you show up for "paint correction" and "ceramic coating" searches, not just "car wash", and stocked with the kind of photo evidence that makes someone stop scrolling and call.
Service-specific pages that separate the work you want from the work you don't
A machine polish and a full multi-stage correction are different jobs with different customers and different margins. A basic wash and a full ceramic coating package are worlds apart. We build dedicated pages for each service so someone searching for exactly what you're best at finds you, rather than lumping everything under one vague "car detailing" page that Google can't rank properly and customers can't use to work out what they're actually booking.
Google Ads for the jobs that are worth chasing
When you've got capacity for correction and coating work but the enquiries coming in are all £15 washes, paid search fixes the mismatch fast. We run campaigns around the services with the best margin, the postcodes worth travelling to, and the seasonal moments (new plate changes, pre-winter protection, pre-sale valets) when demand for the higher-value work spikes.
Review generation that builds trust before the phone even rings
Detailing lives or dies on trust. Someone's about to hand over a car worth thousands of pounds and let you loose on the paintwork with polish and compound. A strong, current run of reviews does more to settle that nerve than any amount of Instagram content. We build a simple system that gets reviews out of happy customers consistently, not just the odd one when you remember to ask.
Website and content built around what customers actually search
Not "we offer premium detailing solutions". Real content that answers what a customer wants to know: how long does correction take, what's the difference between a coating and a wax, will you come to my house or do I bring the car to you, how much does swirl removal cost. That's what gets you found and what gets someone to trust you enough to book.

Why most agency marketing does nothing for a detailer's diary
Most agencies will hand you a report full of impressions, reach and website sessions, and tell you it's going well. None of that pays for correction pads or ceramic coating stock. None of it fills a Tuesday.
We only do the things that turn into a booked job. That means Google Business Profile work that gets you found by someone searching for "ceramic coating near me" at 9pm, service pages that separate a full correction from a basic valet so the right customer finds the right service, and review generation that turns your loyal customers into your best sales tool. If a task doesn't lead to a phone call or a booking form, we don't do it, and we don't pad a report with numbers that make us look busy instead of making you busy.

Frequently asked questions
Because reach and bookings are different problems. A great transformation reel gets people to admire your work, but it doesn't put you in front of someone the moment they're actively searching and ready to book. That's a Google problem, and it needs a different fix to a content problem.
Yes, and it should. Your Google Business Profile needs setting up correctly for a service-area business rather than a fixed location, your content needs to cover the areas you actually travel to, and your ads need targeting around those postcodes rather than a single town. We adjust the whole approach around how you actually operate.
By building dedicated pages and targeting for the specific services you want more of, like correction, ceramic coating and protection packages, rather than one generic page competing against every quick valet in a five-mile radius under the same broad term.
Yes. We take the time to understand what each service actually involves, how long it takes, what it costs and why it's worth it, so the content sounds like it was written by someone who knows detailing, not a copywriter who Googled it an hour ago.
That's usually a signal that your online presence is only showing up for basic searches. Once your service pages and Google Business Profile properly separate out correction and coating work, the enquiries tend to shift towards the higher-value jobs, because that's what people are actually searching for and finding.
Not directly, but a stronger pipeline of enquiries gives you more to work with when a week gets rained off, and consistent visibility means you're not starting from zero every time the diary needs refilling after a bad patch.
Yes. That's a different type of relationship and often a different kind of marketing, more about visibility and reliability with a handful of trade accounts than search volume, and we build around whichever mix of trade and retail work you actually want more of.
Ads without the right landing pages, service separation and Google Business Profile foundation underneath them tend to bring in cheap, low-quality enquiries because there's nothing steering the right customer to the right service. We build the whole picture, not just the ad spend.
It matters more than most detailers realise. Someone's about to trust you with a car worth thousands of pounds. Reviews are often what tips a nervous customer from browsing to booking, more so than photos alone, because reviews are proof from people just like them.
How many enquiries came in, where they came from, and roughly what they were worth. Not clicks, not reach, not a vague summary. If a month's activity didn't lead to enquiries, we tell you that plainly rather than dressing it up.
No. We'd rather earn the work every month on results than lock you into something that doesn't suit you.
Google Ads can bring enquiries within days of launching. Organic visibility through your Google Business Profile and website usually takes a few weeks to a few months to build properly, though it tends to last a lot longer once it's there.
We handle the strategy, content, technical setup and ongoing management. From your side, we'll usually just need photos of completed jobs, quick answers on pricing or process, and sign-off on the odd decision, so it fits around running the business rather than adding to your workload.
Not necessarily. If your existing site has a solid foundation, we can often build the service pages and structure you need on top of it. A rebuild only comes into the conversation if the current site is actively working against you, for example if it can't support separate pages for each service or loads too slowly to rank well.
