Google Business Profile work
Categories, services, photos, and posts that match coating and film searches, with the address hidden for mobile crews.
The Problem
Competitors Take the Coating Searches You Earned
It happens when your best work stays invisible. Your coating and film jobs rarely show up in search, while shops with thinner portfolios fill the map pack.
A thin profile loses local searches to rivals.
One services page can't rank for coatings and film.
Photos named IMG_4127 stay out of image results.
A driver in your town searches ceramic coating near me after picking up a new car. The map pack shows three studios, and yours isn't one. Your profile lists one generic category and six old photos. Your site has a single services page, and your best 50/50 correction shots are named IMG_4127. You do better work than the shops that rank. Google just can't see it.
We set categories, services, photos, and posts that match coating and film searches.
Each high-ticket service gets a page with its own questions and prices.
File names, alt text, and captions tell Google what each shot shows.
We start with the searches that pay: coating, film, and correction near your studio or service area. Your profile gets the right categories, services, and fresh photos. Each high-ticket service gets its own page, and gallery photos get descriptive names, alt text, and captions. Review requests go to all customers after pickup. Your best work starts showing up where buyers look.

DeveloperLook vs Listing Tools vs Your Web Designer
Each has a place. A listing tool keeps your name and address consistent for a small fee, and your designer knows your site. Here's how each one handles search.

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.

Your ceramic work is excellent. Search ceramic coating near me from your lot, and three competitors show up before you.
You work from a van and don't want your home address on Google Maps, but you still need to rank in nearby towns.
Your gallery is full of 50/50 correction shots, yet none of them appear in Google Images or on your profile.
You have a long list of happy customers and only a few dozen reviews, because nobody asks at pickup.
Your agency builds detailing sites and needs a white-label partner for local SEO, reporting, and review programs.
Your site has no service pages and loads slowly on phones. Auto Detailing Website Design rebuilds it first, so SEO has something to rank.
You need coating buyers this month, not next season. Ceramic Coating and PPF Marketing runs search and Meta ads that start faster.
Your budget is under $800 a month. Complete your Google Business Profile and ask each customer for a review first, and we'll tell you so.
You want a promise of the top spot. Google says there's no way to request or pay for a better local ranking, so we don't sell one.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on cost, timing, map pack rankings, image search, service areas, and reviews for detailers.
Auto detailing SEO starts at $800 per month for profile work, pages for coating, PPF, and correction, gallery image SEO, and review requests. The growth program is $1,350 per month, and multi-area SEO is $2,050 per month. You get a fixed proposal after a free local search audit.
First fixes land in 2 to 3 weeks, and rankings build over the following months. Profile changes and new photos can move map results sooner, while service pages need time to earn trust. A crowded coating market takes longer than a town with two or three detailers.
No one can promise the #1 spot, but you can earn a place in the map pack. Google ranks local results on relevance, distance, and prominence, which it bases partly on links and reviews. So you need a profile listing coating and PPF services, a page for each, steady reviews, and local links.
Descriptive file names, alt text, and nearby captions do most of the work. Google calls alt text the most important image attribute and doesn't index CSS background images, so your photos belong in standard image tags. An image sitemap and structured data help Google find your shots and can add badges in image results.
Remove the address from your Business Profile and add service areas instead. Google says to remove it if you don't serve customers at your business address, and it allows up to 20 service areas within about 2 hours of driving. Your site covers each area on its own page, and mobile detailing SEO does the rest.
Ask all clients right after pickup, with a direct link to your review form. Google bans incentives and asking only happy customers, and the FTC's rule on fake reviews applies as well. Steady requests, quick replies, and good work build the stream, though no one can promise each review will be 5 stars.
Each month covers profile posts and photos, new or improved service pages, gallery image work, review requests and replies, and local links. You get a report with rankings, calls, and bookings from search. The mix shifts with your plan and with what the last report showed.
Yes, local SEO is the map pack part: your profile, reviews, citations, and nearby links. A full program adds site work, such as service pages, image SEO, and technical fixes. Most detailers need both, because buyers check your profile and your site before they book.
Yes, on the multi-area plan. Each location gets its own profile, a page with local photos and reviews, and its own call tracking. Mobile crews covering many towns get a service-area setup instead, with area pages that each say something useful about that town and its drive time.
You do, the whole time. Your profile, Search Console, analytics, and site stay under your ownership, and we work as a manager on your profile, not the owner. If you stop, your pages, photos, and reviews stay yours, and we hand over the keyword list and page plan.
