S3 Detailing Case Study Wilmington, NC
From One-Man Operation to a Multi-Employee Detailing Brand
S3 Detailing, based in Wilmington, NC, partnered with Virsa Labs after struggling with unreliable marketing results from a previous agency. The owner had strong service quality and client satisfaction but needed a structured, trustworthy system to grow.
Through a complete rebuild of his online ecosystem — including website, Google Business Profile, Facebook Ads, and automation — S3 Detailing transformed from a single-operator business into a fast-growing team of six employees within months. The company now manages a full detailing schedule, expanding revenue streams, and a new sister brand: S3 Pressure Washing.

Client Showcase
High-Converting Website and Local SEO Framework
We developed a performance-focused website that prioritized search visibility and conversion intent. The design balances strong visuals with clarity — showcasing services such as ceramic coatings, full detailing, and fleet maintenance while maintaining a mobile-first structure.
By aligning metadata, service-area targeting, and structured data (schema markup), the website quickly established authority in Wilmington searches. Within the first few months, S3 Detailing began ranking in the top results for queries like “ceramic coating Wilmington NC” and “auto detailing near me.”
Full Google Business and Facebook Ad Integration
Virsa Labs fully optimized S3 Detailing’s Google Business Profile, improving its photo presence, keyword coverage, and review velocity. We then launched Facebook ad campaigns designed to drive local leads at low cost per booking.
These campaigns consistently produced high-intent inquiries, which were then captured through automated workflows. Follow-ups, reminders, and review requests were handled inside a single CRM, turning one-time customers into repeat clients.
Scalable Growth and New Divisions
S3 Detailing’s success led directly to the launch of S3 Pressure Washing, a second division under the same ownership. Virsa Labs supported this rollout with domain setup, business listing optimization, and brand positioning to mirror the detailing company’s momentum.
The owner is now planning video content and ongoing campaign testing to further strengthen both brands’ visibility in the Wilmington market.
