What to Know Before Choosing Foundation
Managed digital marketing for established independent auto shops that need one team for their website, local search, content, reputation, and reporting.
Price, term, and website
Foundation is $1,250/month, with no setup fee. The six-month initial engagement totals $7,500 in service fees, then continues month-to-month with 30 days' written notice.
Every Foundation engagement includes a custom Sanity-powered website when a rebuild is the right strategic choice. If your existing website already meets our technical, SEO, AI-readiness and conversion standards, we'll improve it instead.
Compare pricing and termsYour team's part
Provide accurate services, business facts, approved photos, account access, and a person who can approve content. Tell us when capacity changes and which calls or forms are useful enquiries. Your shop remains responsible for answering customers and delivering the work.
We manage the agreed marketing work and explain the next priorities in your monthly review.
How progress is measured
Start with a baseline for priority-page impressions and clicks, Google Business Profile activity, and calls, forms, or appointments where tracking is available. Review completed work alongside visibility changes and your feedback on qualified enquiries.
Rankings and observed AI mentions are indicators. Qualified enquiries, booked work, and revenue are separate outcomes; no particular result or date is guaranteed.
Review published campaign evidenceCompare the published Speedhaus European-repair campaign and Doctor Detail detailing campaign for relevant examples. Their scopes and reporting periods differ from today's offer and from each other.
Is Foundation Right for Your Shop?
Foundation is built for a specific type of shop. We'd rather be honest upfront than sell you something that isn't the right fit.

- 1–3 locations with an established business and functioning website
- Owner or GM still managing marketing personally
- Ready to invest in organic growth before or alongside paid ads
- Has capacity to answer calls and serve new customers
- Wants a clear six-month engagement with month-to-month flexibility after that
Not the right fit
- Pre-revenue shops without a stable operating foundation
- Shops with no capacity to answer or fulfill new demand
- Buyers seeking guaranteed top-3 rankings from day one
- Large franchise or enterprise groups needing multi-location governance
- Businesses unwilling to provide access, approvals, or attribution data
