See Your Auto Repair Marketing ROI in Actual Revenue

You spend money on marketing every month. You get phone calls, form fills, and clicks. But at the end of the month, can you say exactly how many dollars in revenue came from that spend?

For most shop owners, the answer is no. You can see activity, but you can’t see the outcome.

That’s the gap PRO-ROI was built to close.

PRO-ROI is a marketing reporting platform from Shop Marketing Pros that tracks your auto repair marketing ROI in actual repair order revenue, not just clicks, calls, and leads. It connects your marketing directly to the customer, the repair order, and the dollars that came from it, so you know exactly what your marketing is producing.

This is marketing reporting for the automotive industry like nothing shops have had access to before.

Clicks and Calls Only Tell Part of the Story

Marketing reports have trained shop owners to celebrate the wrong things. A call comes in, it gets logged as a “conversion,” and that’s supposed to feel like a win. But a call isn’t revenue. A form fill isn’t revenue. Even a booked appointment isn’t revenue until the work is actually done and paid for.

This is where most auto repair marketing attribution falls short. It stops at the lead. It never follows that lead all the way through to a completed repair order, so you’re left guessing whether your ad spend is actually working or just generating noise.

PRO-ROI follows the full path: marketing activity to customer, customer to repair order, repair order to attributed revenue, revenue to return on ad spend, and long-term customer value. That’s the relationship that actually tells you whether your marketing is working, and it’s the relationship PRO-ROI is built around.

See the Repair Order Behind the Revenue

Here’s where PRO-ROI is different from anything else out there. Every dollar of attributed revenue in your dashboard links directly back to the repair order it came from.

Click on that RO number, and it opens the actual repair order inside your shop management system. You’re not taking our word for it. You’re not looking at an estimate or a projection. You’re looking at the real repair order with the real revenue, sourced straight from your own system.

There’s no smoke and mirrors here. If PRO-ROI says a customer’s visit generated a certain amount in revenue, you can verify it yourself in a couple of clicks. That level of transparency is rare in marketing reporting, and it’s exactly why we built it this way.

See the Numbers
That Matter
to Your Shop

A dashboard full of vanity metrics doesn’t help you make decisions. PRO-ROI is built around the numbers that actually tell you whether your marketing is paying off:

Ad spend, so you know exactly what went out the door

New customers acquired through marketing

First-visit revenue from marketing-acquired customers

Repeat revenue from customers who came back
Return on ad spend (ROAS), shown as real dollars earned per dollar spent
Customer acquisition cost (CAC), so you know what it actually costs to bring in a new customer

Customer lifetime value, tracked shop-wide

Instead of interpreting a stack of disconnected metrics, you get a clear picture of what you spent, who it brought in, and what the repair orders were worth.

Auto Repair Marketing ROI, Broken Down by Customer Type

PRO-ROI also separates customers by origin, so you can see exactly who your marketing is reaching:

New customers your marketing brought in for the first time

Existing customers your marketing pulled back in, often missed by attribution tools that only track new customers

Repeat customers who've come back multiple times because of your marketing

That breakdown matters because it shows you the full value of a marketing dollar, not just the value of a single first visit.

Track Customer Value Beyond the First Visit

A common mistake non-marketers make is judging a marketing campaign entirely on the first visit it produces. Most of the time, you’ll spend more to acquire a customer than they spend with you on that first appointment, but that doesn’t mean the campaign failed. It means you’re looking at an incomplete number.

PRO-ROI tracks customer value beyond their first visit. It includes every repair order they approve with you, including their oil changes, deferred services they come back for later, and everything that customer spends with your shop over time. This is where the real return shows up. A shop’s initial ROAS might sit around 2.5 to 5X, but when you include return customers, that number can climb to 7X or higher, and it keeps climbing the longer that customer stays with you.

If you want a deeper look at why this matters, this connects directly to the difference between acquisition marketing and retention marketing and why the best shops use both.

Connect Google Ads and LSAs to Repair Revenue

PRO-ROI currently tracks results from Google Ads and Google Local Services Ads (LSA), the two channels where most shops are spending the bulk of their paid marketing budget.

For every call or booking, you can see the customer’s name, phone number, the channel they came from, and whether the lead converted into revenue. If a call came in but wasn’t answered, PRO-ROI flags it as a missed call and shows you the estimated recoverable revenue based on your shop’s average ticket. Even a shop with a strong answer rate can lose real dollars to a handful of missed calls each month, and PRO-ROI puts a number on exactly what that’s costing you.

If your Google Ads and Local Services Ads campaigns are already running with Shop Marketing Pros and you have a shop management system we are paired with, PRO-ROI gives you a direct line of sight into what those campaigns are actually producing in repair revenue.

Connect PRO-ROI With Your Shop Management System

PRO-ROI is built to work with the shop management system you already use. It currently integrates with:

We’re adding more shop management system integrations regularly, so if your system isn’t listed yet, it may be coming soon.

PRO-ROI isn’t staying tied to a desktop dashboard either; iOS and Android apps are in the pipeline, so you’ll soon be able to check your marketing ROI from your phone the same way you check everything else in your shop.

Frequently ASKED QUESTIONS

How do auto repair shops measure marketing ROI?

Most shops measure marketing performance by counting leads: phone calls, form fills, and booked appointments. At Shop Marketing Pros, auto repair marketing ROI goes a step further and ties that activity to actual repair order revenue, so you can see dollars earned instead of just activity generated.
Marketing attribution is the process of connecting a customer’s visit back to the specific marketing effort that brought them in, whether that’s a Google Ad, an LSA call, or another channel. For auto repair shops, strong attribution means being able to trace a repair order back to the ad or campaign that generated it.
This typically requires software that links your marketing platforms (like Google Ads and LSA) directly to your shop management system. PRO-ROI does this by matching customer records and calls to repair orders inside your shop management system, currently built on Tekmetric, with Shop-Ware, Shop Boss, and Protractor coming soon, so every lead can be traced through to a completed RO.
ROAS, or return on ad spend, measures how much revenue you earn for every dollar spent on advertising. For example, a 4.8X ROAS means every $1 spent on marketing generated $4.80 in revenue. PRO-ROI calculates ROAS using actual first-visit and repeat-visit revenue pulled from your repair orders.
Tracking Google Ads revenue requires connecting your ad platform data to your booking and repair order systems. PRO-ROI links Google Ads calls and bookings directly to customer records and repair orders, so you can see the actual revenue tied to your ad spend instead of estimating it.
Yes. PRO-ROI separates new customers and repeat customers to track revenue over time. This gives you a full picture of customer lifetime value, not just the value of a single first visit.
