AUTOMOTIVE SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION

What is SEO?

Car Dealer SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, involves a variety of strategies and techniques aimed at enhancing a website's ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). This process includes optimising content with relevant keywords, improving site speed, ensuring mobile-friendliness, and building quality backlinks.

For a car dealership, SEO is a long-term investment in sustainable visibility. Rather than relying solely on paid advertising, it helps attract relevant local buyers throughout the customer journey.

The automotive industry is highly competitive, so a well-planned car dealer SEO strategy helps your car dealership appear when local buyers are actively searching for vehicles, servicing and finance options.

By effectively implementing SEO, businesses can increase their online presence, attract more organic traffic, and ultimately drive more conversions.

Results

What you can expect

SEO is a long-term strategy: early improvements in visibility can begin within the first few months, while stronger rankings, leads and sales typically build over time through consistent optimisation.

01

Keyword Ranking & On-Page Improvements

We track a number of keywords that we are working on for your local areas and, using a premium SEO tool, we can see how these keywords perform month on month. We would expect to see keyword improvements from month one.

02

Google Business Profile Visibility

Your Google Business Profile should appear more often when optimised. This in turn drives traffic to the website. We would expect to see visibility improvements within the first three months.

03

More Conversions

Better landing page content is likely to lead to more conversions. Once visibility has increased, we would expect to see more conversions between months 3 and 6. The SEO project is subject to a six-month commitment, which then switches to a 30-day rolling thereafter.

LOCAL SEO - Google Business Profile

Local SEO - Google my Business Google Business Profile (Google My Business) has been shown to have a direct correlation to local SEO — especially when it comes to showing up in the Google Local Pack (3 map listings that appear at the top of Google). This listing can often show above organic listings so something that needs to be optimised correctly to avoid giving business to competitors.

On-Page SEO

Make Your Website Irresistible

Effective car dealer SEO makes every vehicle, service and location page more useful to prospective car buyers and easier for search engines to understand.

On-Page SEO is the process of optimising individual web pages to rank higher in search engine results and attract more relevant traffic. It's about making your website not just visible, but irresistible to both search engines and users.

As an example, if your dealership is in Leeds you want to rank for your cars in this area, so if you have many Ford Focus cars a search term like ‘Used Ford Focus in Leeds’ is what you need to rank for.

To maximise conversions, leads and sales we need to become visible in search engines for all related search terms which are appropriate for your stock.
