Where they were stuck
Ray Dominguez opened Precision Auto Care 5 years ago. He's a great mechanic but terrible at marketing. His website was a single page with just his phone number and address. He was invisible on Google — ranking #11 for 'auto repair San Diego,' which meant he was on page 2 where nobody looks.
What LocalHero did
We rebuilt his online presence from the ground up. His website got dedicated service pages for 'oil change San Diego,' 'brake repair San Diego,' and 15 other local keywords. His Google Business Profile got a complete makeover — professional photos, services, and weekly tips. For backlinks, we got him listed on every major automotive directory and featured in 2 local news articles about honest auto shops. We built 52 high-quality backlinks in 5 months.
What actually changed
In 5 months, Precision Auto went from position #11 to #1 for 'auto repair San Diego.' Google Maps direction requests grew 289%. Monthly phone calls increased by 162. Ray's shop went from 3 bays running to all 6 bays full every day.
