About McDarby Motors Transmission

McDarby Motors is a trusted, staple business in the local automotive repair industry, originally founded in 1965 in the state of New Jersey. Their dedicated team of expert mechanics focuses on building great, long lasting customer relationships while consistently providing high quality mechanical work on every repair they undertake. They offer a comprehensive variety of essential auto services, including routine tire rotations, emergency flat tire repairs, complex transmission rebuilds, reliable brake repairs, and much more to keep their community safely on the road.

Challenge

McDarby Motors was originally attempting the difficult task of managing their own Google AdWords account internally, but they were quickly burning through their daily advertising budget with very little to show in terms of actual shop visits or phone calls. Their current, unoptimized campaign simply wasn't effectively targeting the right high intent local keywords or successfully reaching their specific target market of drivers in need of immediate auto repairs. Recognizing the need for professional intervention to stop the wasted ad spend, SmartSites crafted a comprehensive, localized digital marketing plan specifically designed to tackle each of these automotive advertising challenges head on.
