Car Wash

Shining Online, Driving Offline — Helping a Car Wash Business Clean Up with Digital Marketing

Client: Express Car Wash Chain (U.S. Suburban Market)

Agency: Echo & Impact

Scope: Local SEO | Paid Ads | Website Overhaul | Membership Funnel | SMS & Loyalty Strategy

Duration: 4 Months

Target Audience: Local Drivers | Fleet Accounts | Busy Suburban Families & Professionals

The Challenge

The client had multiple locations, modern equipment, and excellent in-person service—but online, their brand was fragmented. Their site was outdated, they weren’t ranking on Google Maps, and they had no real way to promote unlimited wash plans or retarget past customers.

Echo & Impact stepped in to revamp their online presence, drive local traffic, and scale memberships through digital strategy.

Objectives

  • Increase new customer visits and unlimited membership sign-ups

  • Improve visibility for “car wash near me” and location-based Google searches

  • Launch a digital-first loyalty funnel using email and SMS

  • Track performance across paid campaigns and walk-ins

What We Did

1. Website Overhaul & Mobile Funnel

  • Built a new, responsive site with embedded location finder, wash packages, and reviews

  • Added “Join Unlimited Wash Club” call-to-action with Stripe subscription checkout

  • Created dedicated landing pages per location with driving directions, hours, and local SEO

2. Google Ads + Google Local Service Ads

  • Ran Google Search campaigns on keywords like “car wash [city],” “touchless car wash,” “monthly car wash plan”

  • Launched geo-fenced display retargeting for anyone who visited but didn’t convert

  • Set up Google LSAs for map-level visibility during peak search hours (mornings/weekends)

3. Local SEO & Google Maps Optimization

  • Updated all Google Business Profiles with current services, photos, and offers

  • Built citation consistency across 60+ directories

  • Collected customer reviews through SMS follow-ups, QR codes at pay stations

4. Loyalty + SMS Marketing

  • Launched SMS drip campaign: free birthday wash, refill reminders, rain check offers

  • Built a database of 2,000+ opt-ins across all locations within 8 weeks

  • Created limited-time promotions (“Flash Foam Fridays”) to drive repeat visits
