Site fixes and AutoBodyShop markup
Speed, broken links, and structured data fixed, so Google reads your shop details correctly.
The Problem
Drivers Can't See What You're Certified For
It hurts most after a crash. The driver searches from the tow yard, and your OEM work sits on a page nobody finds.
A driver with a nearly new SUV gets rear-ended.
- The insurer suggests a shop from its list, and the driver searches for another option.
- Your shop holds the OEM certification that car needs.
- But your site says quality work and little else.
We start with proof: a page for each certification you hold, each repair type you do, and the calibration work modern cars need.
Then we answer the questions drivers ask after a crash, in your words. Reviews and local links follow. Your certifications do the selling instead of hanging in a frame by the counter.
Certification pages that prove it
OEM programs and I-CAR recognition you hold, each shown with the equipment behind it.
Repair pages drivers search for
Bumper, frame straightening, paint, and paintless dent repair pages written for real damage.
Answers for after the crash
Towing, rental cars, and claim steps explained in your words, without criticizing insurers.

DeveloperLook vs DRP Referrals vs Generalists
Insurer referrals cost nothing to market, and a generalist SEO firm may know search well. Here's where each one fits a certified shop that wants direct customers.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Referrals | Generalist |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certification proof | A page per program | Not needed | Generic badges |
| Repair-type content | Bumper, frame, PDR, paint | Not needed | One services page |
| Accident questions | Answered in your words | Left to the insurer | Rarely covered |
| Job volume control | Yours, through search | The insurer decides | Yours, if it works |
| Estimate intake | Photo and form requests | Through the claim | Contact form only |
| Marketing cost | From $800 a month | No marketing spend | Similar monthly fees |
| Speed to work | Builds over months | Immediate once enrolled | Builds over months |
| Reporting | Calls and estimates | Insurer scorecards | Traffic charts |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

You hold OEM certifications. Yet your website barely mentions them, and newer-car owners pick the shop that does.
You're not on the insurer's list, so each job starts with a driver searching. You need to show up when they do.
You bought calibration or aluminum repair equipment. Now you want the jobs that pay for it to find you.
You run several body shops. Each needs pages and a profile that match its own certifications and town.
Your agency serves body shops and needs a collision center SEO agency to deliver pages and profiles under your brand.
You need estimates this week from paid ads. Our collision marketing service runs search ads and LSA for that.
Your website is slow or locked by a vendor. Start with Auto Body Shop Website Design, then add SEO once the new site is live.
Your shop does more mechanical repair than collision work. Our Auto Repair SEO Services page covers brakes, transmissions, and diagnostics.
Your budget is under $800 a month, or DRP referrals already fill your bays. Keep the budget until you want more direct customers.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on cost, timelines, certifications, DRP competition, and ownership.
Collision repair SEO with us starts at $800 per month for one shop. That includes site fixes, certification pages, 2 repair or guide pages a month, and profile upkeep. Certified Shop Growth at $1,300 adds guides, links, and review texts. Multi-shop programs start at $2,050 per month.
Expect first fixes live in 2 to 3 weeks and steady gains over 4 to 6 months. Certification and repair pages often rank sooner for your own town. Broad searches near large multi-shop operators take longer, because those chains have years of pages and reviews.
Collision centers rank for near-me searches through relevance, distance, and prominence, which Google names as its local factors. So we keep your profile's categories, hours, and photos current. We also text a review link at delivery and build a page for each repair type you do.
Give each repair its own page, linked from one collision hub page. A frame straightening page explains measuring and pulling in plain words, with your equipment photos. Paintless dent repair gets its own page because drivers search for it by name. This is auto body search engine optimization at its simplest.
Show proof, not adjectives. An aluminum repair page shows your separate work area and tools. An ADAS page explains when calibration is needed after a repair. Each OEM page names the program you hold and what it requires. Owners of newer cars look for exactly that proof.
Body shops outrank DRP facilities online by answering what drivers ask before they call their insurer. That means pages on choosing a shop, rental cars, towing, and claim steps in your words, plus reviews that mention real repairs. You won't beat each referral shop, but you can compete in your town.
Start with SEO if you can wait a few months, and with ads if you need estimates this week. SEO builds pages and reviews that keep working, while ads stop when the budget does. Our Collision Repair Marketing service runs the ads side, and both work well together.
Yes, when the facts are true and your agreements allow it. We list the programs you're part of and explain the claim process neutrally, without criticizing any insurer. Insurer logos need care, since each company controls its own brand, so we usually name them in text.
It depends, and we check first. If your site is fast, works on phones, and lets us edit pages, SEO can start on it. If it's slow or locked by a vendor, our Auto Body Shop Website Design service rebuilds it first, and SEO picks up after launch.
You own the pages, photos, and profile from day one. We work inside your website and Google accounts, not ours. Reviews belong to your Google profile, so they stay with your shop. If you leave, we hand over logins and a list of what we built.
