The workshop: Edwin Garage, Ang Mo Kio
Edwin Garage is a car workshop in Ang Mo Kio run by Edwin, who also founded Page One Singapore. Because he owns both businesses, Edwin had a rare opportunity: test every SEO technique on his own workshop first, measure the results honestly, and only then offer the system to other Singapore small businesses.
The site is sggarage.com. You can visit Edwin Garage to see the live example. Search Console data collection began on 26 June 2026.
The verified results (Google Search Console, 28 days to 5 October 2026)
These numbers come directly from Google Search Console. They are not estimates or projections.
| Metric | Edwin Garage |

| Average ranking position (same period) | 6.1 |
| Different searches on page one | 4,290+ |
| Clicks in July 2026 | 1,369 |

The growth from July to September — roughly 75% in two months — reflects how SEO compounds over time. Early months do the groundwork; later months harvest the results.
These results are specific to Edwin Garage and are not a promise for your business. Every workshop's competition, location and existing online presence is different. See more detail on the Page One results page.
What the website has (you can check it yourself)
No secret tricks were involved. Everything below is visible on the live site, and it covers the fundamentals that Google and AI assistants reward:
1. A listing on Google Maps
A Google Business Profile with the workshop's Ang Mo Kio address and opening hours is what puts a workshop in front of drivers searching "car workshop near me". For any heartland business, this is one of the most important steps.
2. A fast, mobile-ready website on the workshop's own domain
Most drivers search on their phones. The workshop site loads over a secure SSL connection and has a WhatsApp chat button, so customers can enquire in one tap — exactly how Singapore customers prefer to communicate.
3. Structured data and an llms.txt file
Structured data tells Google precisely what the business is: a car workshop in Ang Mo Kio, with its services, opening hours and common questions. The llms.txt file gives AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity a plain summary of the business, so they can describe it correctly when drivers ask for recommendations.
4. A page for each service and question
The sitemap lists 130 pages: services such as car aircon repair, plus answers to the questions drivers actually search. Each page is another way to be found, which is how one workshop shows up on page one for thousands of different searches.
5. Measured in Google Search Console
Search Console shows which searches bring drivers to the site, so effort goes where it pays off. It is also where every number in this case study comes from.
This is the same system available to any Singapore small business through the Get Found plan.
Why car workshops in Singapore need SEO in 2025–2026
Most car owners in Singapore search before they call. They type "car aircon service Ang Mo Kio", "tyre change near me" or "car battery replacement Singapore" into Google. If your workshop does not appear on page one — ideally in the Maps pack — those customers call your competitor.
Word-of-mouth referrals still matter, but they are no longer enough on their own. Even a customer referred by a friend will Google your workshop name before showing up. A blank or broken Google Business Profile kills trust immediately.
For heartland workshops, the Google Maps listing and a simple, fast website are the two highest-return investments you can make.
DIY vs cheap monthly plan vs agency: a plain comparison
| Approach | Typical cost | Time needed | Realistic outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY (YouTube tutorials) | Free–S$30 domain | Many hours monthly | Patchy results; easy to miss technical basics |
| Page One Get Found | S$20/month, no contract | Minimal — done for you | Website + Google Business Profile live in ~7 days; monthly technical audit; optional S$10 boosts |
| Traditional agency | Many agencies quote hundreds of dollars a month, often with 6–12 month contracts | Low input from you | Can deliver strong results; budget may be out of reach for a small workshop |
For a one-bay workshop or a small team, the maths usually favours a low-cost monthly plan over a long agency contract, at least in the early stages when you are still building search history.

What it costs
Page One Singapore's pricing is published openly:
- Get Found plan: S$20 a month (introductory price, available for a limited time while early-client spots remain). Every month your business is found naturally on Google, Google Maps and ChatGPT, with a technical audit of your page. No setup fee. No minimum contract. Cancel anytime; the service runs to the end of the paid month.
- SEO Boost: S$10 each, optional, top up anytime via WhatsApp. Each Boost is extra work on top: going after niche long-tail searches and extra processing to fix SEO issues found in your audit, with a before-and-after report.
- If you need a new domain, you register it in your own name and pay the registrar directly — usually S$15–30 a year. You keep the domain if you ever cancel.
- Already have a website? Page One builds an SEO landing page on a subdomain (e.g. go.yourbrand.com). You add one DNS record; your current site is untouched.

Honest caveats every workshop owner should know
SEO takes time. Edwin Garage's Search Console data starts 26 June 2026 and the strongest month on record is September 2026 — roughly three months of compounding work. A workshop launching today should expect a similar ramp-up period, not overnight results.
Nobody can guarantee Google rankings or AI mentions. Google's algorithm changes; competition in your area varies. Page One reports what was done and what improved, rather than making promises that cannot be kept.
