[ 01 ] · The problem

Generic agencies torch your ad budget.

We've audited 80+ tint-shop ad accounts run by full-funnel "growth partners." The pattern repeats. The mistakes are always the same.

  • 01

    Bidding on the wrong intent.

    Half your spend goes to "window tint" searches that mean residential, dump trucks, RVs, or DIY film. We split by vehicle class from day one — sedans, SUVs, Teslas, full PPF — and starve the rest.

  • 02

    No GBP review engine.

    Tint is a 4.8-or-die category. If your GBP is sitting on 27 reviews and your competitor has 312, no amount of paid traffic compensates. We install a daily review-capture system inside your shop's checkout flow.

  • 03

    Quote forms that lose 60% of leads.

    A four-step "year / make / model / package" form on a 4G phone kills your conversion rate. Our tint-shop sites route a one-tap quote to SMS in under 9 seconds — with missed-call text-back as the safety net.

If your current agency can't tell you cost-per-booked-install this month, they're not running marketing. They're running a billing cycle.

[ 02 ] · Services

Five disciplines.

Google Ads, tuned for the trade.

Campaign structures split by vehicle class, service line, and geo radius — built around the actual margin of each install, not a flat CPC target.

[ 06 ] · Why one niche

We only work with tint shops.

Because depth beats breadth. Because the 80th tint-shop ad account you build is cheaper, faster, and 10× better than the first time a generalist agency tries it on yours.

We've already built the keyword tree.

Sedan tint, SUV tint, EV tint, Tesla Model 3 / Y / S, Cybertruck PPF, full-vehicle ceramic, 5-window special, OEM removal — every variant negative-mapped against residential and commercial bleed.

We know what a booked install actually costs.

We benchmark CPL, CPA, and booking rate across 80+ tint-shop accounts in 12 markets. When your numbers drift, we know if it's seasonality, supply (film backorders), or campaign decay — and we can prove it.

We talk like a tint guy, not a marketer.

Ad copy that says "70% IR rejection, lifetime warranty, no purple fade" outperforms "premium auto styling solutions" every single time. We've A/B tested both, in your zip code.

Exclusive territory, always.

One tint shop per service area. If your competitor signs first, we won't take you. That's how we keep the playbook sharp without it boomeranging into your inbox.

[ 07 ] · FAQ

Questions tint owners actually ask.

I already tried a marketing agency and it didn't work. Why would this be different?

+

Most agencies sell every vertical — restaurants, dentists, roofers, tint shops, whatever comes in. They run the same playbook on all of them. We've shipped 80+ tint accounts, and the playbook is shop-specific: vehicle-class keyword trees, VLT-aware ad copy, install-bay-throughput geo targeting, GBP cadence built around install completion. If you can't tell me your cost-per-booked-install today, your old agency wasn't measuring the right thing. That's most of the problem.

Do you actually understand ceramic vs dyed and how to message them?

+

Yes. Dyed is the low-margin gateway product; ceramic (and nano-ceramic) is where your margin lives, and Tesla owners specifically convert on IR rejection numbers and warranty language. Our service-line landing pages segment by film tier and price-anchor accordingly, so you don't burn ceramic-intent traffic into a $99 5-window offer that wrecks your AOV.

How fast will I actually see results from Google Ads?

+

First leads inside week 2. Stable CPL by week 4–5 (after Smart Bidding learning settles). 90 days is the honest "this is what it actually looks like at steady state" mark. Anyone promising day-7 transformation is selling you a screenshot, not a campaign.

Do you require a long contract?

+

3-month initial commit on Launch and Grow (we need the runway for Smart Bidding learning + GBP review velocity to compound). 6 months on Dominate because we're rebuilding your website too. After that: month-to-month, cancel any time, you keep the assets.

Will you work with my competitor in my city?

+

No. One shop per service area, full stop. If we already work with a tint shop within ~20 miles of you, we'll tell you on the first call and refer you to another specialist. We won't take both sides of the same auction.

Do you handle PPF and ceramic coating leads too, or just window tint?

+

PPF and ceramic coating are usually higher-margin than tint and they share a buyer. They get their own service-line landing pages, their own ad groups, their own GBP service entries, and their own ROI line in your weekly snapshot. We don't lump them under "tint."

What if my GBP got suspended or has a low rating?

+

Suspensions: we've handled a dozen reinstatements — most resolve in 5–10 business days once we clean up the listing and submit the right documentation. Low rating: we install a daily review-request workflow inside your install-complete process; most shops climb 0.3–0.5 stars inside 90 days as new reviews outweigh old ones.

Do you build the website too or do I need to provide one?

+

Either works. We can build a fast Astro site from scratch (included in Dominate, add-on in Launch/Grow), or run paid traffic to landing pages we host while leaving your main site alone. We will, however, insist on rewiring your quote form — most tint-shop quote forms lose 60% of mobile leads, and we'd rather not pay Google to feed a leaky bucket.
