Coastal Collision Center Dominates Estimate Search Before a Single Ad Runs

Coastal Collision had quality work and insurance approvals — but no one searching "auto body estimate near me" was finding them. We built organic search authority that now drives the majority of their new customer pipeline.

Representative example — illustrates a typical engagement; identifying details have been changed.

Overview

Coastal Collision Center had the certifications, the equipment, and the experienced staff to handle everything from minor dents to major collision repairs. But their digital presence was essentially nonexistent — an outdated website with no SEO, and a Google Business Profile that barely ranked in their own city.

The Challenge

What wasn't working

They were losing estimate requests to competitors with inferior shops but better Google presence. Insurance adjusters weren't referring them because the shop had no visible reputation online. And their website wasn't converting the few visitors it did get.

The Strategy

What we recommended

We rebuilt their SEO foundation around the specific searches collision repair buyers use — "auto body estimate," "collision repair near me," and insurance-specific terms — and built a credible web presence that convinced both individual customers and insurance companies to refer.

The Execution

What we actually did

Rebuilt website with clear service pages, certifications displayed prominently, and estimate request forms on every page
Built SEO around high-intent collision repair and estimate searches in their specific service cities
Optimized Google Business Profile with insurance carrier logos, certification badges, and consistent review management
Launched an insurance referral outreach campaign targeting adjusters and claims centers in their service area
Added call tracking and form tracking so every inquiry source was visible
