Most people hate writing. Not writers, obviously, but pretty much everyone else. And yet, in the modern business world, where so much success is dictated by how well a business presents itself online, writing matters: in particular, blogs.

Especially one that uses important keywords, industry terms and phrases that relate to what your business does and where it does it. Writing a blog for your business can really give your shop a big advantage because it can help you get more customers in for auto service.

Why a Blog is a Supercharger for Your Auto Repair Website
One of the most important parts of a good search engine optimization (SEO) strategy is focusing on content. Content is the information on a website. For a very large number of shops, their auto repair website content consists of the name, address and phone number; hopefully, a few pictures of the shop and crew; a page describing shop services; maybe a page with the shop’s mission statement or history of how the business came about; and usually from there, it dwindles down to little else.
5 Clever Tips for a First-Time Blogger
In keeping with another post where we discussed the search engine optimization (SEO) value of blogging as part of your auto repair online marketing, it only seemed fair to offer some tips on how to do that for those who would love to get some Google search engine power from blogging but don’t quite know where to start. I realize it seems easy for a guy like me who writes all day to just come out and say, “Hey, you guys, all you have to do is write a blog post once a month.” But for a lot of people, they’d rather go to the dentist and have a triple root canal with no Novocain than write a short article.

Stop Attracting Cheap Customers With Cheap Promotions
Are you a coupon clipper? Do you chase every offer that pops up in the Pennysaver or on the sidebar of your computer screen? If some business somewhere offers you a buck off, do you fall all over yourself to get in there and get some of that sweet savings?

Exploit the Economic Recovery: A Simple How To Overview
The economy is improving. Unemployment numbers are getting better as wars wind down, housing finds momentum and other sectors of the economy continue to grow. And while none of this is happening fast enough, and while you certainly can find news articles and websites out there that will argue about whether the economy is improving or not, the general consensus is that we are moving in the right direction. People are going back to work.
As they do, a number of things take place that affect you and your shop. The first and most obvious is that people have to get to their new jobs. For many, this means driving. The more people that are driving back and forth to work, the more vehicles are being used. That means more vehicles that will need service and repair. That’s a good thing.
3 Kinds of Coupons That Annoy Your Customers
