• PAGE URL: Be conscious where you save the page. Don’t just save every page in the root folder. Be sure to use specific/relevant folders
• META TITLE: Don’t put the dealership name. Put important keyword phrases & include the City, ST. Keep it under 65 characters or 600 pixel width.

• H1 HEADING: It’s the large headline at the top of the page. Make it conversational and summarize the page. Make sure City, ST and target keyword phrase is included.
• IMAGES: Every image should have an ALT & TITLE  attribute. Include the City, ST also.

Backlink Strategy

Industry experts state that back linking is one of the top SEO ranking factors. One of the best ways to get a link from another site is to ask those business you have partnerships with already. Chambers of Commerce, Sponsorships like school teams or City leagues is another great source of back links. For directories and citations, we will audit your competitors and make sure you are also listed. There are over 600 directories and citations and we will make sure you are listed accurately with consistent Name, Address Phone or (NAP). 

Google My Business (GMB)

Google My Business is the #1 local SEO ranking factor according to industry experts. This should be your top source of organic traffic if you have setup your GMB with UTM’s correctly. Here your Name, Address & Phone are clearly displayed. You can add photo’s, services, categories, links to menu’s, schedule service, and many more features.

Keyword Research

We use Googles keyword planner to help discover what people are searching for in your industry. We will setup your site on Google Search Console if it’s not already. We’ll want to be added to your Google Analytics profile if you have it set up so we can measure our SEO & SEM efforts. We also use auditing tools like SEMrush to see what keywords your competitors are using and how to out rank them. We’ll then update your website with those keywords and write content to help it rank better on Google.

Website Optimization

Once we have a relevant list of keywords to target, we’ll optimize your website. 

We’ll then optimize your website with industry best practices on Meta Title & Meta Descriptions tags. Making sure we are within character limits and pixel widths. We will audit internal linking to make sure your “link juice" is not wasted on unnecessary linking. It is important that best practices are followed and maintained for the customer and search engines. 

Content Creation

Without great content on your website, consumers and search engines will not visit your site. It is also vital to improve your Quality Score in SEM Paid Search Campaigns so it can help lower your Cost Per Click (CPC). Search Engines needs to know that your site is relevant and an Authority to be listed at the top of page 1, and the best way to prove that is with great relevant content.

We will create a schedule of content for either Monthly, Quarterly or Annual plan.

Tracking and Reporting

We will provide tracking reports, Data Studio reports for SEM & SEO that show gains and losses for your relevant target market. We will be transparent as to where your dollars are being spent and focused on your behalf. We use these reports to make adjustments in keywords, geo targeting, cost and many more triggers we can improve. 

When you do SEO right, you get rewarded, and that is the best bragging rights you could ask for.
