Appliance Repair Marketing Case Study: Mirocraft Appliance

By Platinum Web Studio · Updated September 24, 2026

Calls that came in while Mirocraft Appliance's owner was under a dishwasher went to voicemail, and competitors with worse work but better Google listings were getting the jobs. Mirocraft is a family-run appliance repair company in Los Angeles with years of happy customers and, when it came to us, almost no presence online. This is the full account of what we built for them, why each piece was there, and what the owner says changed.

Key Takeaways

  • Appliance repair customers in Los Angeles usually search on a phone for the appliance and the city, so Mirocraft Appliance's work started where those searches land: the map listing and one page per repair.
  • The Mirocraft Appliance system had three parts: a website rebuilt around the phone call, a Google Business Profile filled in field by field and kept active, and AI follow-up on every missed call and form.
  • Mirocraft Appliance's AI follow-up answers a missed call or form with a text within seconds, then an automated text and email sequence books the appointment into the calendar.
  • Mirocraft Appliance's bottleneck moved from not enough calls to not enough hands, so the growth plan for a repair shop has to include hiring, not only marketing.

The Starting Point: An Appliance Repair Company Google Could Not See

Mirocraft had built its reputation the way many established repair companies do, entirely on word of mouth, and word of mouth does not show up in a Google search. The website was outdated and rarely touched, the Google Business Profile was barely filled out (a name, an address, and not much else), and searches for appliance repair in their service area showed competitors instead: businesses with less experience but far more complete listings.

Appliance repair is a volume business decided by speed. The customer's dishwasher is leaking or the refrigerator has stopped cooling, they search on a phone, and they call whoever shows up first and answers. That made the voicemail problem as costly as the visibility problem. Nobody leaves a voicemail for a leaking dishwasher; a call missed while the owner was mid-repair usually meant the customer dialed the next listing.

So the job had two halves: get Mirocraft found for the searches its customers were already making, and make sure that every customer who reached out got an answer before they reached anyone else.

What We Built: A Three-Part Appliance Repair Marketing System

Each part covers a gap the other two leave open. The listing gets Mirocraft into the map results, the website turns that visit into a call, and the follow-up catches the calls nobody can pick up.

A website rebuilt around the phone call

The old site described the company. The new one was built to get a call. Every repair type got its own service page, because “dishwasher repair” and “dryer repair” are separate searches and Google matches each one to the page that answers it most directly. The service cities are named on those pages, click-to-call sits on every screen, and the contact form texts the owner the moment it is submitted instead of waiting in an inbox. The site was built fast on mobile, where most of Mirocraft's customers search.

The build followed the same process as every project in our web design and development service: discovery of the service list and service area, design mockups for review, development tested across phones, tablets, and desktops, and a final round of checks before launch.

A Google Business Profile filled in field by field

We went through Mirocraft's profile one field at a time: correct categories, every service listed, hours, and real job photos in place of the gaps that had sat empty for years. Google's own Business Profile Help page says local results are mainly based on relevance, distance, and popularity, and that businesses with complete and accurate information are more likely to show up. A profile with a name and an address gives Google almost nothing to judge relevance on.

Completing the profile was the start, not the finish. Ongoing management keeps it active with weekly posts and new photos, keeps the website's name, address, and phone number matching the listing exactly, and adds a steady flow of review requests after every completed repair, so the profile keeps growing while the technicians work.

The review requests matter for a specific reason. The same Google Help page says more reviews and positive ratings can help a business's local ranking, and a customer whose refrigerator was fixed on time rarely thinks to write one unless someone asks. Asking every customer, the same way, after every job turns years of quiet goodwill into something Google can actually count.

AI follow-up that books the job

This was the piece that fixed the voicemail problem. When a call is missed or a form comes in, the customer gets a text within seconds. If they do not book right away, an automated sequence follows up over the next days by text and email. Booked appointments go straight into the calendar, and the owner gets a summary instead of a list of people to call back.

The follow-up was built in four steps: map how customer inquiries currently reach the business and where they stall, design the follow-up and booking flow around how the company actually schedules jobs, connect the website, calendar, and phone so each piece talks to the others, then launch and refine based on real conversations. When a customer asks something the automation should not answer, it hands the conversation to a person.

How the Pieces Work Together on a Real Call

No single part of the system would have produced the result on its own, which is why our AI automation workflows are always wired into the website and the listing rather than sold as a standalone tool. A ranking listing that sends visitors to a vague website loses them; a good website nobody finds sits unused; and neither helps if the phone goes to voicemail while the owner is under an appliance. This is the path a Mirocraft customer takes now:

Search

A customer searches for the appliance and the city

A leaking dishwasher or a dead dryer, searched on a phone, usually with a neighborhood name attached.

Map listing

Mirocraft shows up with a complete profile

The right category, every repair listed as a service, real job photos, recent posts, and fresh reviews.

Website

The page matches the exact repair

A page for that appliance, with the service cities named and a call button on every screen.

Contact

The customer calls or sends the form

The form texts the owner instantly, so nothing waits in an inbox.

Follow-up

A missed call gets a text back

If the owner is mid-repair, the customer gets a text within seconds, and the automated sequence keeps following up by text and email.

Booked

The appointment lands in the calendar

The owner gets a summary and shows up to the job, without chasing anyone.

The Results the Owner Reports

The listing started ranking on Google Maps, the phone started ringing every day, and the AI follow-up booked appointments the owner never had to chase. The bottleneck moved from “not enough calls” to “not enough hands,” so Mirocraft hired two more technicians.

“Before Platinum we were invisible online. Now we rank on Google Maps, our phone rings daily, and their AI follow-up system books appointments for us automatically. We've had to hire two more technicians just to keep up.”

We have not published call counts or ranking positions for Mirocraft. The outcomes on this page are the ones the owner describes in the quote above, and hiring two technicians is the clearest measure of all: a repair company only adds people when the booked work is already there.

What Other Appliance Repair Companies Can Take From This Case Study

Mirocraft did not need a bigger ad budget. It needed to show up where its customers were already searching and to answer fast enough to win the job once it did. Four lessons carry over to any repair company:

  • Build a page for every appliance you repair, with your cities named, instead of one general services page.
  • Fill in the Google Business Profile completely, then keep it active with posts, photos, and new reviews every week, which is the core of our Google Business Profile management service.
  • Treat every missed call as a customer inquiry that needs a reply within seconds, not a voicemail to return tonight.
  • Ask for a review after every completed repair, the same way each time, so the profile grows while you work.

Mirocraft Appliance Case Study Questions

Platinum Web Studio built Mirocraft Appliance a new website designed around the phone call, rebuilt and maintained its Google Business Profile, and set up AI follow-up that texts back every missed call and form and books the appointment automatically.

Mirocraft Appliance's owner reports that the company went from invisible online to ranking on Google Maps, that the phone now rings daily, and that the business hired two more technicians just to keep up with booked appointments.

Most Platinum Web Studio websites launch in about 3 weeks, and AI phone answering and follow-up is usually live within one week, while how soon a Google Maps ranking follows depends on the local competition and the starting point.

The same three parts apply to any appliance repair company that relies on local searches: a page for each appliance type, a complete and active Google Business Profile, and instant follow-up on every call or form the owner cannot answer.

When a call is missed or a form comes in, the customer gets a text within seconds, an automated text and email sequence follows up if they do not book, and booked appointments go into your calendar.

Platinum Web Studio builds appliance repair websites from $1,499, while Google Business Profile management, AI follow-up, and review automation are billed month to month with no long contract, and the full plan is quoted after a free 15-minute audit.

A page for every appliance you repair is worth building, because customers search for the specific appliance and city, like dryer repair in Van Nuys, and Google matches those searches to pages that answer them directly.
