A free website, built by someone who actually owns a tint shop
I am Dom. I own a window tint, ceramic coating and detail shop in Champaign, Illinois. I got tired of agencies who had never held a squeegee taking my money, so I learned this myself. Now I build the site free, and if you want the whole system that keeps the bays full, that part is simple and priced in the open.
I will build your shop a website. Free.
Not a template with your logo dropped in. A real site written around window tinting, VLT questions, ceramic and PPF, the jobs you actually want, and the town you actually serve. You look at it before you spend a dollar.
What you get
A fast, mobile-first website with your services, your service area, a quote form that actually works, and the technical structure Google needs to rank you. Yours to look at, no strings.
What it costs you
Nothing for the build, and there is no obligation to work with me afterwards. I would rather show you the standard than talk you into believing in it.
What I want out of it
A fair shot at running the rest. A website on its own is a business card. The reason my bays stay full is the Google profile, the follow-up and the ads working together, and that is the part I get paid for.
Most tint shops do not have a marketing problem
They have a follow-up problem, a visibility problem, and a "the quote never got sent" problem. Ads on top of that just burn money faster.
- The lead comes in while you are under a carYou see the message three hours later. By then they have called two other shops and booked the one that picked up.
- You are invisible on the mapSomeone searches "window tint near me", gets three shops in a box at the top, and you are not in it. That box is where most of the local money goes.
- Nobody follows up twiceMost people who ask about tint do not book that same day. If nothing chases them on day two and day five, that job quietly goes somewhere else.
- The ads were never really testedOne ad, one audience, left running for six months. Every winner I have ever had came from killing losers fast, not from waiting.
Four pieces. They only work together.
This is the whole system, and it is not a mystery. Every page below tells you exactly what gets built, in what order, and how you would do it yourself if you had the time.
Google Business Profile
Get into the three-shop map box for "window tint near me" in your town. Free to do, and the highest-intent traffic there is.
How it is done 02
A website that books jobs
Fast, structured for search, and built so a stranger on a phone can go from curious to booked without calling you.
How it is done 03
CRM and automations
An app on your phone. Every lead in one inbox, answered automatically in seconds, chased for you until they book or say no.
How it is done 04
Meta ads
Facebook and Instagram at $50 a day, with new creative tested every week and losers killed fast instead of left running.
How it is doneI paid an agency to learn what I now do myself.
They took my money for a year and taught me more by accident than on purpose. Once I saw which parts actually moved the needle, I fired them and ran it myself. The shop grew, I hired installers, and now the bays stay full whether I am in them or not. So I built the agency I wish I had hired at twenty.
What actually happens after you say yes
No four-month "discovery phase". The site is usually live in the first fortnight and ads are running by week three.
One call, then I get out of your way
Forty-five minutes on the phone: your services, your prices, your busiest jobs, the towns you want, what you refuse to do. I take the photos and details I need and you go back to work.
Google Business Profile and tracking
Profile claimed, verified, categories and services filled out properly, photos loaded, review link set up. Tracking goes on the site so we can tell which ads produce real jobs instead of clicks.
Website live
Your site goes up with real service pages, real answers to the questions your customers actually ask, and a form that hits your phone the second someone fills it in.
CRM live, ads switched on
The app goes on your phone. Every lead lands in one inbox with automatic replies and follow-up already running. Ads go live at $50 a day with three or four angles tested against each other.
Test, kill, scale, repeat
New creative every week. Losers get killed, winners get more budget. You get a plain-English rundown of what came in, what it cost, and what I am changing next.
One price, published, no discovery call required
I hated ringing agencies who would not tell me a number until they had "qualified" me. So here it is.
Plus $50 a day in ad spend, paid straight to Meta on your own card. I never touch your ad money.
Is that worth it for a tint shop?
Only you can do that maths, and you should do it before you call me. Take your average ticket and your close rate. If a full tint job is $400 and you close half the people who ring, you need roughly eighteen booked jobs a month to cover the whole thing.
If that number sounds impossible for your shop, do not hire me. Go and read the free playbook, do the Google Business Profile work yourself, and come back when the volume makes sense. I would rather tell you that now than take a payment we both regret.
No guarantees, and be suspicious of anyone who gives you one. What comes back depends on your market, your prices, your capacity and how fast you answer the phone. What I control is the work, the testing and telling you the truth about the numbers.
Or just do it yourself. Here is how.
I am not going to pretend this is secret. The playbook walks through the exact Google Business Profile setup, the follow-up timing, the ad angles that work for tint, and the numbers to watch, in enough detail that a determined owner can run it alone. No form, no download, no drip sequence.
My own shop is the case study
Dom Digital is new. I am not going to invent client results to make it look otherwise. What I can show you is the shop this system was built on, and you can go and check it yourself right now.
- The Gloss Spot Auto Detailing, Champaign, IllinoisWindow tint, ceramic coating, paint protection film, wraps and detailing. Five years in the trade.
- 5.0 across 90+ Google reviewsGo and look at the profile. That rating and that review count are the direct output of the review system described in the playbook.
- Six to seven figures a year across tint, coating and detailMy own numbers, from my own shop. Take them as one owner's word, which is exactly what they are.
- Installers run the bays now, not meThat only happened because the lead flow became predictable enough to hire against.
Client reviews go here, when they are real
These three slots stay empty until a shop I actually work with gives me permission to quote them. If you ever see an agency's site full of stock-photo testimonials from "Mike R., Shop Owner", you already know what you are dealing with.
A verified review from a tint shop owner will appear here once one is earned.
Real names, real shops, real numbers, or nothing at all.
Want to be one of the first? That is exactly why the build is free.
The questions every owner asks me
Is the website really free, or is there a catch?
Really free. I build it, you look at it, you decide. No charge for the build and no obligation to keep working with me afterwards.
The honest reason is this: telling a shop owner I am good at this is worthless, and every agency says it. Showing you is not. I would rather spend a few days building something real and let it argue for me.
What does the paid part cost?
$2,000 a month to me, plus $50 a day in ad spend that goes straight to Meta on your own card. That is about $1,500 a month in ads, so roughly $3,500 all in.
Month to month, no setup fee, cancel with 30 days' notice. The full breakdown is on the pricing page, including the maths on how many jobs it takes to break even.
Why would a marketing agency know anything about window tinting?
Most of them do not, and that is the whole problem. I own The Gloss Spot Auto Detailing in Champaign, Illinois. Tint, ceramic coating, paint protection film, detailing. I have quoted the jobs, done the installs and dealt with the customer who wants 5% on the front doors and an explanation of the law.
Every piece of this system was built to fill my own bays before it was ever sold to anyone else.
How fast will I see leads?
Ads usually start producing enquiries in the first week or two once the tracking has data and the creative is live. Google Business Profile moves slower, typically one to three months to climb into the map pack depending on how competitive your town is and how many reviews you have.
Anyone who tells you a specific number of booked jobs in a specific week is guessing at best.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Month to month, 30 days' notice. If it is not working for your shop you should be free to walk, and an agency that needs a twelve-month lock-in is telling you something about its work.
Will you work with my competitor down the road?
No. One shop per town. It would be dishonest to run ads for two shops bidding against each other in the same market and charge them both for the privilege.
I already have a website and a Google profile. Now what?
Good, that is a head start. We audit what you have, keep whatever is working and rebuild what is not. A lot of shops have a perfectly nice-looking site that was never structured to rank, never set up to capture a lead properly, and has no tracking on it at all.
What do you actually need from me each month?
Photos and video from the bay, and answers when I ask about pricing or capacity. That is genuinely it. Real footage of your own work outperforms anything stock, every single time, and it is the one thing I cannot make for you.
Let me build the site and you can judge for yourself
Tell me about your shop and I will come back with a real website. If you would rather talk it through first, grab a time in the calendar and we will have a normal conversation about whether this fits your shop at all.
