What we do

How we generate paint correction leads

Paint correction customers fall into three groups: enthusiasts who know what a two-stage correction is, new-car owners who want dealer swirls removed before a coating, and sellers who want the car to present well. We build a correction page that explains the stages and gives a price range, a Google campaign on "paint correction", "swirl removal" and "cut and polish" terms, and Meta creative built on your 50/50 shots, which are the most effective detailing creative we have run.

How we do it

Paint correction lead generation, built for the paint correction buyer

Explain the stages

One-stage enhancement, two-stage correction, multi-stage: a page that educates ranks and pre-qualifies.

Bundle with coating

Most correction customers should be offered a coating; the page and the follow-up do it.

50/50 creative on Meta

Half-corrected panels stop the scroll better than any other detailing image.

Enthusiast targeting

Interest and vehicle-ownership audiences, plus retargeting from the coating page.

When paint correction demand moves

Steady, with spikes around new-car deliveries and the spring pre-sale market. Winter interior work keeps the diary full in cold markets while correction waits for the temperature.

The paint correction marketing mistake we see most

A gallery with no explanation. Customers cannot tell a one-stage from a three-stage from photos alone, so they call the cheapest quote. A page that explains what each stage removes, and what it costs, wins the job at the right price.

What a paint correction lead is worth

Correction runs from about $400–$600 one-stage to $800–$1,200 multi-stage in Melbourne, US$300–$2,500+ in the US, and from £750 single-stage in the UK. Combined with a coating, a single enquiry can be worth $2,000 or more.

Every enquiry is tracked to its source, and the monthly report shows cost per enquiry by campaign. The revenue goal calculator shows how many paint correction leads a month it takes to hit a revenue target at your close rate.

Common questions

Paint correction leads: common questions

Yes, when it is bundled with coating on the page. On its own it is a mid-value job; with a coating it becomes the highest-value enquiry you can generate.

50/50 panel shots under a good light, and short video of the machine polish. Nothing sells correction better.

Yes, particularly from Meta where interest targeting reaches car-club and marque audiences, and from search on specific terms like "swirl removal" and "paint correction near me".

Search terms around dealer swirls and new-car protection, plus Meta audiences, reach them. We build that into the campaign where the market supports it.

Yes. One correction specialist per area.
