Complete Marketing covers both services under one coordinated plan, with 2 more content pieces a month than Social Media Management (10 instead of 8) and the $399 social setup fee waived when setup is needed.

How It Works

A practical approach to rental business marketing.

01

Understand Your Business

We review your fleet, rental locations, target customers, existing social profiles, website, and current marketing setup.

02

Build Your Marketing Plan

We prepare the content schedule, campaign strategy, targeting, and setup required for your selected service.

03

Manage, Measure, and Improve

We publish approved content, monitor campaigns, review performance, and use available data to guide improvements.

Social Media Management

Stay consistent across your social channels.

We help rental businesses keep a professional presence by planning, designing, scheduling, and publishing content that shows off their vehicles, rental offers, locations, and business updates.

  • 8 or 10 total creative content pieces a month, depending on your plan
  • Each piece adapted for your selected platforms where appropriate
  • One reasonable revision round each month
  • Basic engagement monitoring, not full customer support

Video production, extensive Reels, professional photography, and substantial media production aren't included unless agreed separately.

Want ideas for what to post? Our guide to social media marketing for car rental businesses covers what works for rental operators.

Google Ads Management

Reach people actively searching for rental vehicles.

We set up and manage up to 2 Google Search campaigns built around how renters search in your area, then keep improving them with the data they produce.

  • Search campaign configuration and optimization
  • Keyword research and search-term analysis
  • Negative keywords to help reduce irrelevant clicks
  • Ad copy improvements
  • Geographic targeting and bidding adjustments
  • Budget monitoring
  • Conversion tracking checks and monthly reporting

Display advertising, Performance Max, YouTube campaigns, remarketing, landing-page development, and complex tracking implementations aren't included unless agreed separately. A click isn't a reservation: what happens after the click depends on your website, offer, and availability.

Not sure paid search fits yet? Read Google Ads for car rental businesses first, or ask about a one-time Google Ads audit of an existing account.

Complete Marketing

One coordinated approach to your online growth.

Social media keeps your business visible to people who already follow or find you, while Google Search campaigns reach people actively looking for a rental right now. Complete Marketing plans both together, reports on both, and sets each month's priorities from what the data shows.

See your monthly deliverables, campaign limits, additional charges, and advertising spend before you start.

Data-Informed Decisions

Available campaign and content performance data is used to find improvement opportunities.

Ads and social posts work best when they land on a site built to book. See our website packages or monthly SEO if you’d like help there too.

Scope & Ad Spend

What’s included, what isn’t, and who pays Google.

Social Media Content

  • Monthly post counts are total content pieces, not original posts per platform
  • Platform adaptation is included where appropriate
  • One reasonable revision round is included each month
  • Additional revisions, substantial changes after approval, and entirely new creative requests may cost extra
  • Video production, extensive Reels, professional photography, and substantial media production are excluded unless agreed separately

Engagement and Customer Communication

Basic engagement monitoring doesn't include:

  • Replying to every comment or direct message
  • Customer support
  • Answering availability or pricing questions
  • Managing reservations
  • Talking with prospective renters on your behalf
  • Handling complaints or booking changes

Customer communication services can be quoted separately.

  • Complex tracking, extensive restructuring, landing-page development, and work beyond the agreed campaigns may need a separate quote
  • Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google from your own account
  • Budget increases are approved by you first
  • Results can fluctuate, especially during the initial learning period or after significant changes

General

  • All prices are in USD; monthly management fees are recurring
  • 3-month minimum term, then month to month with 30 days' written notice to cancel
  • Additional work is approved before any charge
  • Your business accounts stay in your name, and we only get the access the agreed work needs
  • Results depend on demand, competition, budget, location, website performance, and your rental offer
  • No specific rankings, lead volumes, conversion rates, bookings, or revenue are guaranteed

These terms are also part of our Terms of Service.

Reporting

Know what is being managed and what the data shows.

Social media

  • Content published
  • Reach and impressions where available
  • Engagement results
  • Follower growth where available
  • Content performance observations

Google Ads

  • Clicks and impressions
  • Cost per click
  • Advertising spend
  • Conversions and cost per lead where tracking is configured
  • Optimization work completed
  • Recommendations and next steps

Reports reflect the data available from each platform. Leads and conversions can't be measured accurately until tracking is configured and enough data has been collected, so tracking is checked rather than assumed.

Questions

Marketing plan questions, answered.

No. The monthly management fee covers campaign management and optimization. Your advertising budget is paid directly to Google through your own Google Ads account, and it's agreed before campaigns run.

The Google Ads and Complete Marketing plans cover up to 2 Google Search campaigns. Additional campaigns or different campaign types need a separate agreement.

Social Media Management includes 8 content pieces a month and Complete Marketing includes 10. These are total creative pieces, adapted for your selected platforms where appropriate, not separate original pieces for each platform.

No. We manage the agreed marketing work and optimize it using the data available. Results depend on market demand, competition, budget, your website, and other factors outside anyone's control.

Allow at least 7 days of active advertising for initial learning and data collection. That isn't a guarantee of leads or full optimization, and campaigns can need longer depending on budget, competition, settings, and conversion volume.

Basic engagement monitoring is included with the social media plans. Full inbox management, rental inquiries, customer support, and reservation management aren't included unless agreed separately.

Social Media Management has a one-time $399 setup fee only when setup or significant profile configuration is needed and you approve it. Complete Marketing waives that fee. If no setup is needed, there's no fee on either plan.

Marketing plans have a 3-month minimum term, then continue month to month. Cancel with 30 days' written notice. Website maintenance or other service agreements are separate.

Yes. Budget changes can be discussed based on campaign performance and your goals. Any proposed increase is approved by you before it's made.

Extensive Reels production, professional photography, and substantial media production aren't included in the standard plans. Additional production can be quoted separately.
