AUTO REPAIR · COEUR D'ALENE, ID

A 20-year shop finally ranking for its own town, with the bays full year round

A long-established Coeur d'Alene repair shop that somehow did not show up for its own city. We fixed the foundation and built out the service intent pages. Ten months later the bays stay full through the slow months too.

The situation

Where they were when they hired us.

  • Twenty years in business and still not ranking for brake, transmission, or repair searches in their own town
  • Google Business Profile was miscategorized and posting nothing
  • Citations carried an old phone number across dozens of directories
  • No service-specific pages, so the high-value repair searches went elsewhere

What we built

The specific playbook we ran.

Each piece maps to a part of the local SEO system. Follow a link to see how it works.

  • Google Business Profile rebuild and correct categorization
  • Service-specific landing pages for the repairs that pay
  • Citation cleanup to one consistent NAP across every directory
  • Review request engine timed to vehicle pickup
  • Monthly geo grid sweeps to close the weak zones

The geo grid

Red to green, zone by zone.

Two Local Search Grids for the same business: where the map sat at the start, and where it landed after 10 months. Illustrative data, not a specific client export.

  • Top-three coverage for the core repair terms across the home city
  • About 16 more jobs a month, bays full through the slow season
  • Dedicated pages for brakes, transmission, diagnostics, and fleet work
  • Citations corrected to one consistent phone number everywhere
We had been here two decades and still could not be found for our own town. That is fixed now, and the slow months actually have work in them.
