This industry is unusually opaque about pricing, which mostly benefits the people selling. Here are real ranges, including ours, so you can tell a fair quote from a bad one.
Typical market range: $200–600 a month. What you should get for it: category and service optimisation, photo management, posts, review responses, Q&A, and monitoring for competitor edits or suspension risk.
Below about $150 a month, you're usually buying automated posting and little judgment. Above $600, you should be getting genuine strategy and reporting, not just profile maintenance.
Ours is $299 a month and includes your listing upgraded on The Auto Network. We publish it because a shop shouldn't have to sit through a sales call to find out a price.
Typical range: $500–1,500 a month for work that includes your website, content, citations and link building alongside the profile work.
Worth it for shops with a website they want ranking for service and city searches. Overkill for a shop whose Business Profile isn't finished yet — that's spending on the roof before the foundation.
Management fees typically run 15–25% of ad spend, or a flat $300–800 a month, on top of what you pay Google. A shop spending $1,000 a month on ads should expect to pay roughly $150–250 to have them managed.
Be wary of managers who won't show you the account or who keep the ad account in their own name. You should own it.
A solid small-business site is typically $2,000–6,000 once, or $100–300 a month on a managed platform. Under $1,000 usually means a template with your logo dropped in.
The question to ask before signing: do I own this site and can I take it with me? If the answer is no, treat the monthly fee as rent, not investment.
A typical independent shop doing this sensibly spends somewhere between $300 and $900 a month across everything, with more in competitive metros.
The sanity check is simple: what's your average repair ticket, and how many extra jobs a month does this need to produce to pay for itself? If the answer is more than two or three, ask harder questions.
Yes — doing the Business Profile work yourself costs nothing but time, and it's the highest-return work available. Paying is about buying back the time, not unlocking secret techniques.
Only if you've seen results first. Month-to-month puts the pressure on the provider to keep earning it, which is where it belongs.
Agree the measures upfront: calls, direction requests, ranking for named searches, and leads. If a provider can't tell you what they'll report on, that's an answer.
We'll check how your shop shows up on Google, in Maps and in AI assistants, and send you a plain-English report with what's costing you calls. It's free, and the fixes work whether you do them yourself or have us handle it.
