In their own words

Hear from Accelerate Automotive

★★★★★

"The team at Hedgehog didn't just tell us what to do - they taught us how to do it ourselves. Our online presence has been transformed and we're now seeing consistent, qualified leads coming through."

Ange Wall
Accelerate Automotive
Challenge vs. Solution

A trusted local mechanic with no digital footprint.

Word-of-mouth was strong; online presence wasn't. Accelerate needed qualified, consistent inquiries - and the skills to run it themselves long term.

Dimension Before Hedgehog With Hedgehog
Online visibility Great in-workshop reputation, but competitors found first online - not because they were better, but because they were easier to find. A local voice in the Brisbane automotive space with content authority and paired paid/organic visibility.
Strategy No cohesive digital strategy; no clear positioning online. Integrated Google Ads and SEO strategy where paid and organic complement each other across the funnel.
Website Website wasn't optimised for user experience, conversion, or SEO. Rebuilt mobile-first with clear CTAs and SEO-friendly foundations - a brochure turned into an active lead generator.
Inquiries Qualified inquiries from local drivers were scarce and inconsistent. Consistent, qualified booking enquiries from local drivers - grown organically over 12 months.
What we did

A full digital transformation, led by coaching and strategy.

We worked alongside the Accelerate team as consultants and coaches, giving them the strategy, structure, and skills to build a marketing engine that kept compounding.

1

Coached the team on Google Ads and SEO strategy

Worked directly with the team to develop an integrated Google Ads and SEO strategy - making sure paid and organic weren't competing but complementing each other across the funnel.

2

Developed a content calendar across blogs, social and email

Built a rolling content calendar covering blog topics, social posts, and email touchpoints - designed around the real questions Brisbane drivers ask about their cars.

3

Advised on a complete website rebuild

Guided the rebuild of the Accelerate website with mobile-first UX, clear CTAs, and SEO-friendly foundations - turning the site from a brochure into an active lead generator.

4

Built ongoing reporting across organic and paid

Set up a reporting layer that made it clear where inquiries were coming from, what channels were performing, and where to invest next - so decision-making was always grounded in data.
