Why isn't my auto repair shop showing up on Google?

You search for your own shop's services, and you can't find yourself. Here's how it played out at our sample shop, the way a mechanic works a car: concern, cause, correction, verification.

1

The concern

Nate searched "brake repair" in his own town and his shop wasn't anywhere.

The cause

Nolavi checked Google Search Console. 11 of his 16 pages weren't in Google at all, his Google Business Profile listed the wrong hours, and he had 23 reviews against a competitor's 310.

The correction

We fixed the hours, asked Google to list all 16 pages, and set up a review text after every paid repair order.

The verification

All 16 pages are now in Google, Maps calls doubled in two months, and reviews went from 23 to 94.

Questions

Quick answers.

Why can't I find my shop on Google?

Often pages aren't listed, your business profile is incomplete, or competitors have far more reviews.

How do I get more Google reviews for my repair shop?

Ask every happy customer right after they pay. A short text with a link works best.
