Sheen Panel Service

After relying on traditional advertising for many years, the Sheen team wanted to pivot to a more digitally-focused strategy so they could reach more customers online. We launched a refreshed website, built over 400 new web pages to boost brand authority and improve search ranking, and connected everything to the EngineRoom platform to better manage leads. Sheen’s digital transformation included an uplift in leads and better visibility with over 8,000 keywords now ranking on search engines thanks to a curated SEO strategy.

Frequently asked questions

How do I market my panel beating business?

Establishing a strong online presence is vital for panel beaters or other auto repair shop businesses, as the majority of your target customers use the internet to find what they need.

To expand your reach, you should be leveraging key digital tools such as SEO, Google Ads, and social media marketing. This omnichannel approach will help boost your business visibility across a range of platforms. In particular, prioritising SEO for panel beaters is essential for long-term success. By implementing effective SEO strategies, you can secure a top spot on Google's first page of search results, outperforming your competitors and capturing more market share.

What is the target market of auto repair shops?

Target markets for auto body businesses differ depending on a number of factors. Research is key to understanding your audience and can involve looking at things like: 

  • Location - do you primarily service local customers or extend to a wider area? For example, you might be located in a place that’s convenient for people to drop off their vehicles on their way to work
  • Services - as well as a primary service you may also offer secondary services, such as towing, that might change who you target
  • Buyer personas - creating customer personas helps you identify the different profiles that make up your ideal customers 

When identifying your ideal audience, the best approach is to tap directly into your data. By analysing your existing customers, user touchpoints, and digital campaigns, you can gain valuable insights into understanding your target market. The EngineRoom platform can easily streamline this process for you - contact us to find out how.

What is SEO for panel beaters?

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a robust marketing strategy that increases your panel beater business’ online visibility and improves your rankings on Google. 

To increase your chances of ranking higher, consider the following:

  • If you have multiple panel beating shops, create web pages for each individual store so you can rank for location-based keywords and reach more local customers 
  • Tap into content marketing and ensure what you share is valuable and relevant to your potential customers
  • Implement a link-building strategy
  • Encourage customers to leave reviews and add these to your website to increase social proof and trustworthiness 

Our team of experts can devise an effective SEO strategy as part of your full-service marketing plan.

What is the best auto body shop website design?

Your website often serves as the first point of contact for new customers, making it essential to get right. Designs can vary based on the website software you use, the type of services you offer, and the team creating the website. However, there are a few non-negotiables that your website design should account for:

  • A user-friendly layout with clear call-to-action buttons
  • SEO influences, such as naturally-inserted keywords, title tags, meta descriptions, and proper internal linking
  • Case studies and customer testimonials to boost your brand authority (something that Google looks out for when ranking)

EngineRoom can build you a new website or refresh your current one ensuring it is fully optimised for conversions. Book a strategy session to find out more about this service.
