What's included in the Local Presence Plan for Driving Instructors
Part of our Local Presence Plan. Six things, every month: 1. Your Google Business Profile, set up properly. We fill in and tidy your profile so it says clearly what you do, where you are and when you're open. 2. Behind-the-scenes code on your website. We add LocalBusiness schema with the areas you cover, so Google and AI tools can read where you work and what you do. 3. The same details everywhere. Google Business Profile set up as a service-area business, with a consistent name, service area and phone number across directories. 4. Help with reviews. You get ready-made templates for asking for reviews and replying to them, and a simple plan for getting more. We never write reviews for you. 5. A short weekly report. Every week you get the three most important fixes, in plain words. 6. One local LinkedIn post a week. We write one post a week for your business page.
For a driving instructor, that means the areas and test centres you cover, manual or automatic lessons, your prices, your ADI status and how to book are clear and match everywhere learners and parents look. Doesn't include paid ads. Why fill in the form: The score shows whether a learner, or a parent paying for lessons, can see quickly that you're qualified, cover their area and have space.

How learners and parents choose an instructor
Google Business Profile with a service area (pick-up areas), address hidden
Lessons start at the pupil's door, school or workplace, so set a service area, hide your home address and keep your hours realistic.
Pick-up areas and test centres you cover
List pick-up postcodes and the test centres you know on one page. Do not create a separate page for every town.
Reviews and pass stories (real, with consent)
Share real pupil comments only with permission. We never publish pass rates or pass-first-time claims.
Lesson pages pupils compare
Manual and automatic lessons
Say which you teach and what car pupils will drive, so nobody books the wrong type.
Block bookings, intensive courses and refresher lessons
Explain each format and who it suits, without promising a test date or an outcome.
Mock tests and test-day preparation
Describe how mock tests work and what happens on the day, including use of your car for the test if you allow it.
Badges and rules learners check
The green ADI badge and the ADI register
GOV.UK says only approved driving instructors on the ADI register, or trainees with a trainee licence, can charge for lessons, and the badge must be displayed (see GOV.UK). Learners can find instructors on the GOV.UK finder. We're very familiar with regulated industries and respect all local laws and rules. We do not give legal advice or promise any regulatory outcome.
Trainee instructors (pink badge): how they must advertise
Trainees describe themselves as a trainee driving instructor, never PDI, and advertise through their training establishment.
Why trainees advertise through their training school, not personally
GOV.UK trainee licence rules say a trainee can only give instruction from the training establishment named on the licence, so marketing goes through that school.
Filling your diary: enquiries, waiting lists and travel radius
A short enquiry form asking for postcode, car type and availability lets you reply quickly and keep travel between lessons low.
Why driving instructors work with us
1. We state your status exactly. "Approved driving instructor" only for qualified ADIs, and "trainee driving instructor" with your training establishment for trainees, as DVSA's rules require. 2. No pass-rate promises. We don't write "pass first time" claims or success rates. We describe how you teach, what lessons include and who you suit. 3. Your area, honestly. We list the areas and test centres you actually cover, as a service area rather than a fake address. 4. Honest reviews only. Templates and a plan, and we never write reviews. Why fill in the form: Free and quick. You'll see what a nervous learner sees before they choose an instructor.
Who you'll be working with
Why fill in the form: You don't have to take our word for any of this. The score gives you something concrete to judge us by.
- Run by Modi Elnadi, who has managed more than £20m in paid media.
- More than 20 years in digital marketing, after starting out in design and visual storytelling and then an MBA. Integrated.Social was founded in 2014.
- Our rule: agents draft; a named senior person signs.
- Published prices and terms. What the plan costs and how to stop are on the plan page, not hidden in a call.
- Honest about what we can't promise. No one controls what Google or AI tools show, so we don't promise positions, enquiries or dates.

Clear answers
Frequently asked questions
How should a UK driving instructor market their lessons?
Driving instructor marketing for ADIs is about helping learners and parents confirm the basics quickly: your pick-up areas, manual or automatic lessons, the test centres you know and your ADI badge. We keep these details consistent across Google, your website and AI tools, so local pupils can find you and see clearly what you offer.
Can we publish our pass rate?
We do not publish pass rates or pass-first-time claims on your pages. Results depend on each pupil, and outcome claims can mislead. Instead we describe how you teach, the formats you offer, the test centres you know and real pupil comments shared with consent, which answer what learners actually ask.
Who is allowed to charge for driving lessons?
GOV.UK says only approved driving instructors on the ADI register, or trainee instructors holding a trainee licence, can charge for lessons in a car. ADIs display a green badge and trainees a pink one (see GOV.UK). We make sure your badge status is described accurately and point learners to the official checks.
How should a trainee driving instructor advertise?
As a trainee driving instructor, never as a PDI, and through the training establishment named on the licence. GOV.UK trainee licence rules say trainees can only give instruction from that establishment. We keep wording accurate so marketing never suggests a trainee is a fully approved instructor.
Do we need separate pages for each town we cover?
No. One clear section listing pick-up postcodes, schools and test centres serves learners better than many thin town pages. We keep that list in step with your Google profile service area, so search engines and AI tools see one consistent answer about where you teach.
Can I mention test centre pass rates in my marketing?
You can point learners to DVSA's published pass rates by test centre, but do not present a centre's overall rate as your own result. If you quote your own pupils' pass rate, keep the records behind it, say which period it covers and update it, because the CAP Code requires evidence for objective claims.
What does the Local Presence Plan cost for a driving instructor, and what is included?
The Local Presence Plan: From £299 a month, plus £99 setup. Billing is monthly and you cancel with 30 days' notice. It covers your Google Business Profile, structured data on your website, matching business details across the main directories, review templates, a short weekly report and one local LinkedIn post a week. Paid ads are not included. Ad spend is included only in the Full AI Growth Engine, which has a 3-month minimum.
