Marketing for automotive businesses

Whether you manufacture parts, sell vehicles, or run a specialty shop, you need someone who understands what you sell and why customers choose you.

I’m Amanda, owner of Hour51. I help automotive businesses with their marketing, websites, and the systems behind them. My team helps get the work done.

What does your business need?

Some businesses need more people through the door. Others need an online store that’s easier to shop. Plenty need both.

E-Commerce & Manufacturers

For the products you sell nationwide.

We help customers find your products, understand what they’re buying, and place an order. That means working on both your online store and the marketing that brings people to it.

  • E-commerce websites: product pages, navigation, mobile shopping, and checkout improvements.
  • SEO and advertising: help shoppers find the products you actually sell.
  • Email: customer follow-up, product launches, and campaigns.
  • Catalogs and integrations: product data, vehicle lookups, and the systems connected to your store.

Problems with Year, Make & Model Selection?

We also work with fitment data: combining manufacturer files, investigating mismatched applications, and preserving important qualifiers. Hour51 is a Shopify Select Partner with experience supporting year, make, and model selection tools. Show us a specific product and vehicle that aren’t matching correctly. We can investigate and scope a correction, flagging uncertain fitment for manufacturer confirmation.

Shops, Services & Dealerships

For the customers who visit your business.

We help customers find your business locally, understand the services you offer, and contact you to ask a question or request a quote.

  • Local SEO and Google Business Profile: service and location pages, accurate business information, reviews, and visibility in local searches.
  • Websites and project galleries: show your work, explain your services, and make calls and quote requests easy.
  • Local advertising: campaigns around your services, service area, or available vehicles.
  • CRM and follow-up: organize inquiries and help your team keep track of the next conversation.

Have a shop and an online parts store?

We can support both. The local customer booking work and the nationwide customer buying a part need different information and different paths through your website.

Amanda Clark, owner of Hour51

You shouldn’t have to teach your marketing agency your business.

Too many agencies make a strong sales pitch, then disappear behind an account manager. The work gets handed to people with no experience in the US automotive industry, and suddenly you’re explaining the difference between a TJ and an XJ to someone you’re paying to represent your business.

Then comes a report full of completed tasks and marketing jargon. You still don’t know whether any of it made you money.

I’m Amanda, owner of Hour51. You work directly with me, and I take responsibility for what my team delivers. We talk about your revenue, your customers, and what you want the business to accomplish. I recommend the work that supports those goals, rather than trying to fit you into a package.

If something isn’t working, I’ll tell you. We’ll look at why and decide what needs to change. You’re hiring us to help your business succeed, not to keep a task list busy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Automotive product businesses, service companies, shops, independent dealerships, and businesses that serve the industry. You don’t have to sell online to work with us.

Yes. Local SEO can include your Google Business Profile, service and location pages, business listings, and a review process. We look at where you work and what customers search for so the work supports your actual services.

Not necessarily. We can improve an existing site, fix specific issues, or build pages for services and products that aren’t explained well. If a rebuild makes sense, we’ll explain why and scope it separately.

Yes. We can support both sides of the business, with separate paths for booking shop work and buying products online. That includes local marketing, the store, and follow-up with each kind of customer.

No. Shopify is one part of our experience. Tell us what your site runs on and what you need done, and we’ll identify where we can help. Our Shopify partnership doesn’t limit the businesses we work with.

Yes. We can investigate manufacturer files, product matching, qualifiers, and the results customers see when they use your year, make, and model selection tool. We can combine files and scope corrections. Uncertain applications need confirmation from you or the manufacturer before they are published.

Yes. We can handle a specific channel or coordinate your marketing across several. We agree on the audience, priorities, budget, creative, and reporting so the work has a clear purpose.

Yes. I can support your marketing staff, handle a technical or creative gap, or coordinate broader work with my team. We define responsibilities at the start so you know who is handling what.

Yes. An audit, website improvement, campaign, or technical fix can be a starting project. We agree on scope, price, and timing before work begins. Website design and development are paid services.

We can discuss ongoing marketing and technical support around the work you need. You’ll work directly with me, with my team helping execute. We agree on priorities, scope, and terms instead of assuming you need every service we offer.

Tell me what you’re working on.

Send your website and a little about what you need. You don’t need to know which marketing service to ask for. We can figure that out together.
