So i have been in the detail industry for about 15 years working for different shops both auto body and strictly detail. I have learned from my own observations, experiences and mentors. I decided to start my own detailing business just over a year and a half ago.
I did these 3 things right off the bat to at least get people to contact you when they need detailing services 1) WEBSITE!!! This is vitally important as it gives a potential customer a chance to check you out . 2) GOOGLE AD WORDS !!! When you or anyone else search for something on the internet , most of the time its on the google search engine!! Make sure you are at the top of the page everytime . Use a catchy , call to action phrase in the subject line of your ad!! Mine simply said "affordable auto detailing guaranteed .... call today!! 3) Hire an internet business developer to list your business under all the major search engines and local sites. The more times your website is clicked on , the quicker it moves up the list on search engines.
Heres are my results from this in a year and a half of business. I started in June last year .... from June to December my shop took in gross profit of 45,000 not counting the dealer accounts and fleet accounts . So far this year my shop has done over 100,000 in sales not counting dealerships and fleet accounts. I no longer use google ad words only because i dont need to , my site pops up in the top 3 now because of all traffic from google ad. Word of mouth is the best type of advertising but IMO relying on word of mouth when just starting out is a recipe for failure.
