Built for the bay

Auto repair websites that load fast, get cited, and ring the shop phone.

Specialist pages for the makes you actually fix (BMW, Audi, VW, Toyota, Honda, Subaru) and the systems you actually service (transmission, alignment, brakes, AC, electrical), wired with AutoRepair schema, a sticky click-to-call bar, and Cite-met monitoring across the six AI engines buyers are now searching first. The audit is free, and we quote under what you currently pay.

What auto repair shops and mechanics tell us

The five lines we hear from auto repair shops and mechanics on every audit call.

They told us

Half my calls are people asking if we work on their car. The site doesn't say.

What that means

No per-make pages, no schema linking AutoRepair to the brands you specialize in, so AI engines and Google can't surface the shop on make-specific queries.

~6 hrs/wk fielding wrong calls
They told us

Agency built us a pretty site for $4k. Zero bookings from it in eight months.

What that means

The site reads like a brochure with stock mechanic photos and generic 'honest service' copy, none of which matches how buyers actually search ('Audi A4 timing chain cost Toronto').

$3.2k spent, 0 bookings
They told us

ChatGPT is sending people to the dealer's site and the franchise chains, not us.

What that means

Without llms.txt, FAQPage markup, and per-service depth, the LLMs default to the brands with the most structured, citable content, which is rarely the independent specialist.

Most AI traffic skips you
They told us

We're booked three weeks out for transmissions but nobody knows we do them.

What that means

Service depth lives only in the owner's head and on a Yelp profile, so the page that should rank for 'transmission rebuild [city]' doesn't exist or is one paragraph deep.

~$22k/yr in missed jobs
They told us

Reviews are good but the site looks like it was built in 2014.

What that means

Slow Wix or WordPress build, no Review schema feeding Google's panel, no Lighthouse mobile score above 60, so mobile buyers bounce before the click-to-call even loads.

Mobile bounce above 70%
What we ship

The deliverable, not the deck.

01

Per-make specialist pages

BMW, Audi, VW, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Mercedes, Lexus, each one gets its own page with AutoRepair plus Brand schema, the common failure modes you actually see, and a service area block tied to the city.
02

Per-service pages

Alignment, transmission, brakes, AC, electrical, oil change, tire mount and balance, exhaust, each one carries Service plus Offer schema, an honest price band where you're comfortable showing one, and an FAQPage block that the LLMs cite.
03

Sticky click-to-call bar

Auto repair converts faster on phone than any other ICP we touch, including the contractors. A persistent mobile call bar (with a tap-to-text fallback) sits above the fold from scroll-pixel zero through the footer.
04

Service area and hours schema

OpeningHoursSpecification, AreaServed across the city polygons you actually drive to, and AcceptedPayment for the cards plus financing you take. The boring schema that drives the Google panel that drives the calls.
05

Review aggregation

Google Business Profile pulled through the API, the latest five surfaced on the homepage with Review schema, and the full reservoir indexed across the per-make and per-service pages so the social proof is where the buyer is, not behind a tab.
06

Pricing transparency where it makes sense

Oil change, brake pad swap, tire rotation, AC recharge, the services where buyers want a band before they call. We write the copy in your voice, with the 'this is a starting point, your car may differ' hedge that protects the estimate.
Pricing without the pitch

What each tier ships for an auto repair shop.

The build is one-time. The retainer keeps the site fast, the schema fresh, and the AI citations flowing. We quote under what you currently pay an agency, the audit is free, and you can see the four tiers and the four retainers in full at our solutions page. The right tier for most independent shops sits in the Story or Engine range depending on how many makes and services you want pages for.

Site

$2,500
$2,500. Up to eight pages, foundational AEO setup. The starter for a one-bay generalist shop that needs the basics working before next quarter, plus three or four core service pages and one make-specialist page if there's a clear lead.

Story

$5,000
$5,000. Up to fifteen pages with audio/video pipelines for the shop owner who wants to record a Loom walking through a brake job and have it turn into a service page. Right-sized for the specialist shop covering two or three makes plus a tight service menu.

Engine

$9,000
$9,000. Up to 200 programmatic pages with structured data automation. This is the European specialist who fixes six makes, runs twenty service categories, and wants city pages across the Greater Toronto Area or Lower Mainland. The combinatorics get handled.

Studio

$15,000+
$15,000 and up. Custom builds for the multi-location group, the franchise system, or the shop that wants an embedded booking flow and SMS quote layer. Usually only the right answer when there are three or more locations or a fleet contract behind the work.

Monthly retainer (AEO included at every tier)

  • Care$60/mo
    Hosting + AEO maintenance
  • Local$300/mo
    + 1 post/mo, local SEO
  • Growth$700/mo
    + 4 posts/mo, mention tracking
  • Authority$2,000+/mo
    + Reddit, Wikipedia, PR

Proof in the wild

We haven't shipped an auto repair site yet. Here's the honest analog.

The model that ranked Starlit Homes' twelve building-science pages applies cleanly to twelve make-specific service pages or twelve repair-type pages. Same schema discipline (AutoRepair plus Brand plus Service plus Offer instead of HomeBuilder plus Service), same multi-page topic depth, same Cite-met hosting that turns indexing into citation flow across the six AI engines we monitor.

The voice register flexes. Custom home builders read three pages before contacting and want the building-science depth. Auto repair buyers are click-to-call within ninety seconds of landing, which changes the page architecture (sticky call bar, FAQ above the fold on service pages, the make-and-model picker on the homepage). The schema instinct is the same. The conversion posture is closer to the contractor playbook we use for plumbing and HVAC than the long-consideration playbook we use for home builders.

If you want the case study details (the page count, the schema mix, the indexing curve from week one to week twelve), book the audit and we'll walk through them on the call. Mahmoud co-authored the Verto Health patent for AI orchestration, and Verto's platform ran roughly a quarter of Canada's daily COVID doses. The schema work is closer to home than most agencies bring. The free audit shows you the per-make page plan and the indexing forecast before you commit to anything.

Why us

What you're actually getting.

01
Answer engine optimization (llms.txt, FAQPage schema, the citation work) is included at every retainer tier, never an upsell.
02
Cite-met monitoring across six AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Gemini, Copilot) is real-time, not quarterly, and it's surfaced at cite-met.com if you want to see it run.
03
Our own studio site gets roughly a third of its traffic from AI engines, over eleven thousand visits last week from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews alone, so we ship what we run.
04
We quote under what you're currently paying your SEO agency. The audit is free and the comparison is itemized.
05
Mahmoud spent a decade in healthcare scheduling at Verto, co-authored the patent on AI orchestration for healthcare, and won the $100K Lovable Shipped Season 1 Grand Prize against more than 5,800 builders, which means the schema and AI work isn't outsourced.
06
Click-to-call posture is built into the page architecture from day one, not bolted on after launch.
