Auto Detailing, PPF & Ceramic Coating

Auto detailing is the clearest example of Local Services Ads working: for Captain Cole's Detailing we launched LSA and produced 53 qualified auto and boat detailing leads from $400 in ad spend. For Enhanced Garage in Kent Island, 21 leads from $155. Those are $7 and $8 leads for services that run $200 to $600, from customers who come back every season.

Paint protection film and ceramic coating are the high-ticket end of the same shop: $1,500 to $3,000 for a full front, chosen by enthusiasts who research, compare, and increasingly ask AI which installer to trust. We run search campaigns by service, keep the LSA listing at the top for detailing volume, and build the reviews and structure that put you in the AI answer.
