Why Growth Stalls
Why skilled transmission shops still sit half-booked.
Great rebuild work alone doesn't fill the bay. Here's where transmission shops leak jobs.
-
Big jobs get shopped around before they get booked
A $2,500+ repair rarely gets booked on the first call — drivers compare two or three shops before deciding.
-
Drivers don't trust an unknown shop with this much money
People fear being sold a full replacement when a rebuild would do, so they default to a name they already know — the dealer or a national franchise.
-
You're invisible for the “near me” search that matters most
A slipping transmission or a warning light means a search and a call within minutes.
-
One big repair rarely turns into a repeat customer
You just earned a driver's trust with the biggest repair bill they'll pay all year — and then never followed up.

Reactivation
Proof, not promises
Track every call, job, and dollar.
One dashboard shows every call, form, and booked job by source — so you know which ads and searches actually fill your bay, not just which ones get clicks.
Lead Tracking Turn callers into booked jobs
Every inquiry — site, search, ad, or call — is captured and tagged to its source.
See what made the phone ring
Every new-customer call or form shows its campaign and keyword, so you fund what fills bays and cut what doesn't.
Follow-up that doesn't forget
Drivers who don't book get friendly texts and emails until they do — no sticky notes on the service desk, no lost jobs.
ROI Tracking Know your cost per booked job
We tie every booked job to the campaign that produced it, so you see your true cost per booked customer — and which jobs return the most — before you spend another dollar.
True cost per booked customer
We connect spend to booked jobs, so each channel shows what a new customer really costs — no more guessing which ads pay.
Job-level ROI
Rebuilds, replacements, and diagnostics are tracked separately, so you see which jobs bring your best margins.
Call Analysis Catch every call that could book
Drivers call before they book a job this big — a missed call is a lost job.
Call recording & scoring
Hear how estimates and warranties get quoted on real calls, and spot the questions that make drivers book — or hang up.
Missed-call recovery
A missed call texts the driver back in seconds, so they keep talking to you instead of trying the next shop on the map.
Review Generation Be the shop drivers already trust
Drivers judge an unknown shop by its reviews before they trust it with a $2,500+ job. We ask every relieved customer at the right moment, so your rating — and your rankings — keep climbing.
Automated review requests
The ask goes out right after pickup, while the relief is fresh — a text with one tap to Google, no chasing by your service writers.
Reputation monitoring
Every new review lands in one inbox, so you can thank happy drivers fast and answer a bad day before it costs you bookings.

Straight answers
Marketing for transmission shops, without the mystery
Google Ads is 10% of your ad budget with a $600/month minimum — there's no markup on what you spend, so your budget goes to Google in full. SEO is $50 per page, starting at 10 pages a month. Custom websites are one-time projects from $1,500 to $20,000+, depending on what you need (see /websites for the packages). Setup is $0, it's month-to-month with no contract, and a free proposal for your shop arrives within one business day.
If your bays depend on the phone ringing and “transmission shop near me” doesn't show your name first, yes — the math works fast on a $2,500+ job. We build the website, ads, reviews, and follow-up that keep the phone ringing, so you can stay in the bay instead of chasing marketing at night.
It keeps qualified calls coming in. SearchPod builds your shop's website, runs Google Ads for “transmission repair near me” and similar searches, gets you found in local and AI search, and automates review requests and follow-up — one connected system built around the biggest, most trust-dependent jobs you sell.
Ask three things: do they talk about booked diagnostics and answered calls instead of clicks, will they show you call recordings and tracking from day one, and do you keep your website, ad accounts, and data if you leave? Vague answers there mean vague results later.
Ads can bring calls in the first few weeks. SEO, AI search, and reviews take a few months to build — then they keep sending drivers you don't pay per click for. Running both at once is how shops get quick wins now and a durable pipeline of jobs later.
Instead of five vendors pointing at each other, one team runs your site, ads, SEO, AI search, email, and reviews — and gets judged on booked jobs. Pricing is public: 10% of ad budget with a $600/month minimum and no markup on ad spend, SEO at $50 a page, and websites from $1,500. Setup is $0, it's month-to-month, and there's a 30-day guarantee. You own everything we build.
Call tracking, form tracking, and booking tracking go live on day one. Every job shows the ad, search, or page that produced it, so you learn your real cost per booked repair — and which searches bring in the highest-value work.
Yes — clicks don't pay for a torque converter or a rebuild kit. We build the campaigns, pages, and click-to-call paths that turn a worried search into a scheduled diagnostic, and we grade ourselves on booked jobs and answered calls, not traffic.
Yes — that's a big part of the job. We build your site and reviews to answer the trust question a franchise name answers automatically, and we target the searches and map-pack spots where drivers compare you to the chains before they call.
Yes. Booking forms, call tracking, and review requests plug into shop systems like Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, or Mitchell 1 — or whatever you run — so leads land in one place instead of a pile of sticky notes.
Yes — all of it. The website, ad accounts, reviews, and customer list sit in your shop's name from day one. Leave whenever you want; everything stays with you, and nothing gets held hostage.
Most transmission-shop sites launch in about 2–4 weeks. Your warranty terms, photos, and reviews are usually the slow part, so we gather those first — and you get a clear timeline up front with updates as we build.
