How We Work With Digital Marketing
At Element DMA, we focus on one thing: helping auto repair shops in the U.S. attract more customers and grow profitably. Our auto repair marketing system starts with a complete analysis of your business. We review your Google Ads campaigns, website, Google Business Profile (Google Location), and online reviews to identify opportunities that bring in more high-quality leads.
From there, we create and manage Google Ads for auto repair shops and truck repair businesses. Every campaign is designed to generate calls from real local customers looking for services like truck repair, trailer repair, or auto mechanic work. Alongside ads, we build professional websites and landing pages that convert visitors into paying customers. Our own SEO plugin allows us to generate optimized service pages faster, helping you rank higher and get found by the right audience.
We don’t stop at traffic and clicks. Tracking is a key part of our process. Using advanced call tracking, form tracking, and AI-powered tools, we measure every lead that comes in. With AI integration, we analyze call quality and customer intent, giving you insights that improve your sales process and close rates.
Our approach is proven: reduce your cost per call, increase the number of qualified leads, and deliver growth for your auto repair shop. Whether you run a semi truck repair shop or a local mechanic shop, Element DMA provides the truck repair advertising and digital marketing solutions you need to stay ahead of the competition.

Why Are We Different?
We focus exclusively on high-quality calls for auto repair shops!
With our deep understanding of the US auto repair market, we’re able to launch campaigns 4 times faster than most other agencies.
Our comprehensive client acquisition system offers greater value in both volume and service quality compared to most competitors.
We’ve developed a unique plugin for websites, which is constantly improving to ensure maximum conversion.
In addition to paid traffic, our system also includes a strategy for attracting free calls, allowing you to generate leads beyond just advertising.
We are selective in choosing our clients and don’t work with everyone.
We don’t take auto repair shops from the same city to avoid internal competition, and we limit the number of clients we take on at any given time to ensure the highest quality service.
mission
We help repair shops grow with reliable, data-driven marketing systems that attract new customers and keep them coming back.
vision
To be the leading digital marketing agency that transforms businesses through innovative and data-driven marketing strategies, driving sustainable growth and exceptional customer engagement.
Working with Element has been a good move for our shop. We started getting more calls and better quality leads not long after the ads went live. The return has been solid — we’re making around 4-5 times what we spend every month. I like that they focus on results and keep things simple. No fluff, just steady flow of work coming in. Makes a real difference when you’re trying to grow.

FAQ
I’ve worked with marketers before, but I didn’t see any real results. What makes you different?
In most cases, you’ll start seeing calls within 2–3 days after launch. We set everything up with tracking from day one — so you’ll know exactly where the leads are coming from. That said, our real value shows over the first 30–60 days, when we optimize the ads based on actual call quality and lead behavior. We’re not here to just bring traffic — our goal is to bring you the right kind of customers that turn into real jobs.
How fast can I actually start getting new calls from your ads?
If your shop doesn’t have a website, we build and launch one within 5–7 days. First phone calls typically come in around 10 days after launch. If you already have a working site, calls can start within 2–3 days. Full Google Ads optimization by AI takes about 30 days.
We already have Google Ads running. Can you still help, or would we have to start from scratch?
Absolutely — we often take over existing campaigns and improve what’s already there. Most shops we audit are wasting 30–50% of their budget due to poor targeting, wrong keywords, or missed call tracking. We don’t start from scratch unless it’s needed. We analyze your current setup, find what’s working, fix what’s not, and scale it. You’ll see better performance without blowing your budget.
Do you work with other truck or mechanic shops near me? I don’t want to compete with your other clients.
Great question — we take exclusivity seriously. When you partner with us, we won’t take on direct competitors in your service area. Our goal is to help you dominate your local market, not to divide results between multiple shops. That’s why most of our clients stay with us long-term — they know we’re fully focused on their success, not spreading attention around.
Can I pause or adjust my campaigns if I get too busy or want to push a certain service?
Of course. We understand the shop life — things change fast. If your bays are full and you need to pause ads for a few days, no problem. Or if you want to push a high-margin job like A/C repair or transmission service next month — we can shift your campaign fast. You’ll have a direct line to your account manager, and we usually respond within hours. No waiting on ticket systems or corporate delays.
How much do your services cost?
Most of our clients invest between $1,500 and $3,500/month, including ad spend. It depends on your location, competition, and how aggressively you want to grow. We don’t lock you into big retainers with no results — everything is transparent. You’ll know exactly how much is going to ads and what’s going into management. And we always focus on return on investment, not just spending your budget.
Do you offer any guarantees?
We can’t guarantee a specific number of leads — and if someone does, you should be cautious. But we do guarantee full transparency, active communication, and real tracking. You’ll see every lead, every dollar spent, and every call. If something isn’t working, we fix it — fast. Our clients stay with us because we get results, not because they’re locked into long contracts.
What platforms do you use for marketing?
We use the platforms that actually bring results for shops like yours:
Google Ads to reach people actively searching for your services.
Google Business Profile (Google Maps) to get you in front of local customers looking for nearby repair shops.
Your website, optimized using our own custom SEO plugin, designed specifically for service pages that convert.
And we track everything with advanced analytics and call tracking, so nothing is left to guesswork.
What kind of reporting and analytics will I get?
You’ll get a simple, clear dashboard showing calls, form leads, cost per lead, and more. We also track and listen to calls (with your permission), so we know what kind of leads are coming in. You’ll never be in the dark — and if you want a quick update or live data, we’re just a message away.
