Marketing for Automotive

Marketing for car dealerships, auto repair shops, and automotive brands that drives lot traffic, service appointments, and brand loyalty.

Why Automotive Businesses Need Expert Marketing

Automotive marketing has fundamentally changed. The average car buyer spends 14 hours researching online before stepping on a lot. Auto repair customers check Google reviews before trusting a shop with their car. Dealerships and shops that treat their digital presence as an afterthought are losing customers to competitors who are showing up with professional content, video walkarounds, and 5-star review responses. ContentMonday creates the content that gets customers from their phone to your lot or service bay.
