What we do

How we generate paint protection film leads

A PPF buyer is usually protecting a new or prestige vehicle and has a specific budget in mind. We build a PPF page with partial-front, full-front and full-body packages and a price range for each, a Google campaign on "paint protection film", "PPF [city]" and "clear bra" (US) terms, and Meta campaigns targeting new-car and EV owners with installation and self-healing video. Retargeting joins the coating and PPF pages, because the same customer buys both.

How we do it

Paint protection film lead generation, built for the paint protection film buyer

Packages on the page

Partial front, full front, track pack, full body, each with a from price.

Prestige and EV audiences

Meta targeting and search terms built around the vehicles that get filmed.

Installation video

Film application, self-healing demonstrations and finished panels as the creative.

Bundle with coating

Every PPF enquiry is offered a coating on the exposed panels.

When paint protection film demand moves

Tracks new-car deliveries and, in cold markets, the pre-winter protection window. Prestige and EV buyers book year-round.

The paint protection film marketing mistake we see most

Treating PPF as an add-on line on a detailing page. It is a separate purchase with a separate buyer and a separate search, and it deserves its own page, campaign and creative.

What a paint protection film lead is worth

PPF runs from roughly $1,500–$2,000 partial front to $4,000–$7,000 full car in Melbourne, US$1,800–$2,500 full front and US$5,000–$8,000+ full vehicle in the US, and from £1,250 front end to £3,500 full coverage plus VAT in the UK. A single booked install can justify a month's marketing on its own.

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 protection film leads a month it takes to hit a revenue target at your close rate.

Common questions

Paint protection film leads: common questions

More than a detailing lead, because the searches are competitive and the buyers are fewer, and far less than the job is worth. We estimate for your market on the call.

Yes. Many clients run tint, PPF and coating together; each gets its own page and campaign under one program.

Yes, through Meta audiences and search terms around specific models, where the market has enough volume.

Package pricing, the film brands you install, and video or photos of installs. We do the rest.

Yes. One PPF installer per area.
