Another Google review just dropped in my inbox 🙌

Love it!

19 Months ago I registered a limited company, I wanted to become a coach. After 8 months I pivoted, back into the industry I have known for 15 years, back to my strengths: sales, marketing and relationship management.....and it was the best decision I could have made.

I have always enjoyed working with the independent garage network in the UK, whether I was working for a manufacturer or a wholesaler, but it's extra special doing it as an independent myself.

Happy FriYaY folks 🙌

⚠️SOCIAL MEDIA TIP TUESDAY⚠️

Don't put a link in your caption on Facebook, drop it in the comments.

Why?

Because Meta doesn't want it's users leaving its platform (makes sense), so if the algorithm picks up a link in your content it will restrict the reach.

I see large multi-nationals still doing this and its shows the lack of attention to detail they are paying to how well their efforts are paying off.

Why?

Because a simple 30 second excercise can highlight this issue, just like in the images below.

Find the 'See insights and ads' blue hyperlink below a post, click on it.

Then you will see '⚠️ This posts reach could be improved', it's literally a warning sign!!!

Click that and then you will see 'Links in your caption can be DISTRACTING and reduce your REACH.'

Wor Mark doesn't want his customers nipping off to a different platform and then getting distracted, that doesn't help him pay the bills 🙄

Stick it in the comments 👍

Why Google Ads are worth it for local garages

🔍 “MOT near me.”
“New tyres.”
“Garage open Saturday.”

These are searches happening in your area every day.
If your garage isn’t showing up, your competitors are.

Google Ads put your name in front of ready-to-book customers.
Simple. Effective. Instant.

Sunday train ride home from Birmingham to Durham after a weekend at The Blend Events .

I have been to a fair few events in my time in this industry, I have to say this one is right up there, as one of the best!

If you own/run a garage and haven't been before, get yourself a ticket for next year, the talks/workshops throughout the afternoon will more than deliver on value vs cost. Then you get the added bonus of a very entertaining evening.

💣On a different note, here's a tip for you if you travel on trains every now and then. SEATFROG app, firstclass upgrades, cost me £10 to upgrade going down and £17 on the return leg. Game changer when your a lanky bloke like me, my knees are loving it.

✅ Real.
✅ Relatable.
✅ Builds trust.

Garage videos don’t need filters, they need personality.

⭐ 5-star reviews don’t just look good — they win you more work.
