Google Ads for Window Tint Shops
Google Ads for window tint shops: more booked bays, more premium jobs.
Buyers decide on your Instagram, your portfolio and your reviews before they ever call, and the highest-margin work is ceramic and paint protection film, not the cheapest tint job. Google Ads puts your shop in front of that local, ready-to-book search. It cannot make a thin portfolio look like proof.

What runs, and why
Campaigns built to book premium jobs, not just cheap tint.
Search ads for tint and film searches
We bid on the exact searches buyers run, like "window tint near me" and "ceramic coating [city]," splitting basic auto tint from premium services so your budget goes toward the jobs worth the most to your bay.
Call-only ads for fast quote requests
Many buyers want a price before they'll book anything. Call-only ads route them straight to your shop so you can quote and book on the spot, with every call tracked back to the ad and the service searched.
Remarketing to people who viewed your portfolio
Someone who scrolled your before-and-after gallery is already close to booking. We bring them back with ads that remind them the quote or booking page is one click away, before they book a competitor instead.
Performance Max to run your best install photos
This is a visual sale. Performance Max spreads your strongest before-and-after shots and finished installs across Search, Display and YouTube, reaching people who haven't searched for a tint shop yet but respond to the work.
What Google Ads costs for window tint shops.
The average cost per click
For the Automotive, Repair, Service & Parts category, the average cost per click is $4.35 and the average click-through rate is 5.56%, per 2026 search advertising benchmarks published by LocaliQ with WordStream. This is the closest published category to window tint, blended with general repair shops.
The average conversion rate and cost per lead
That same benchmark set shows a 15.51% conversion rate and a $29.96 cost per lead, among the strongest of any category tracked. A basic tint inquiry tends to convert easily; a ceramic or PPF inquiry takes more convincing but is worth far more per job.
The math at a $1,800 monthly budget
At the category average cost per click, $1,800 buys around 414 clicks a month. At the category average conversion rate, that's roughly 64 booked jobs or quote requests. Our fee is 10% of your ad budget or $600 a month, whichever is higher, so at $1,800 you'd pay the $600 minimum.
What actually moves that number
The benchmark is a category average, not a promise for your shop. Ceramic coating and paint protection film searches usually cost more per click and take longer to close than basic tint searches, but they carry a far higher ticket, so a smaller number of leads can still be the better outcome.
How we set this up for a window tint shop.
01
Track every booking and quote request
Before any ad runs, we set up tracking for booked appointments, calls and quote form fills, so you can see which service, tint versus ceramic versus PPF, and which campaign, actually filled your bay.
02
A page for each service, priced to convert
Auto tint, ceramic coating and PPF are different price points and different buyers. Each gets its own page with real before-and-after photos and a clear next step, instead of one page trying to sell all three at once.
03
Negatives and search terms, checked weekly
We review the exact searches triggering your ads every week and remove the ones with no booking intent, like DIY tint film searches or job-seeker searches for installer positions.
Google Ads for window tint shops, answered.
Most shops start between $1,200 and $2,500 a month, enough to keep the bay booked while pushing the higher-margin ceramic and PPF services. We'll size a budget around how much of that premium work you want to grow.
It's worth it for most shops, since tint and ceramic searches are local and high-intent, and a strong photo portfolio converts well once it's in front of the right buyer. It matters less if your bay is already full on referrals and repeat customers alone.
Search ads split between basic tint and premium film services, call-only ads for fast quote requests, remarketing to bring back portfolio browsers, and Performance Max to run your best install photos to people who haven't searched for you yet.
Basic tint bookings can start within the first couple weeks. Ceramic and PPF inquiries usually take longer to close, so give it 4 to 6 weeks to judge the real cost per booked job across your full service mix.
Our fee equals 10% of the ad budget, at least $600 monthly, with the spend billed by Google directly. Nothing to set up, nothing to sign, and no fee owed if the first month underdelivers.
