While paying for online clicks has its place, there is nothing that will deliver ROI to your car dealership like a well-thought out automotive SEO campaign.
Consider recent NADA data that the “average” new car dealership sees $1700 in front-end revenue.
This includes revenue from the actual purchase of the new or used vehicle, trade-in profit, and financing profit made on the deal.
The more front-end sales the better. But…how to get more Ups in your automotive dealership? Enter automotive local search!

The use smartphones and mobile devices continues to increase. According to comScore’s mobile subscriber market share report in Q4 of 2011, Android gained 3.1 share points and Android handsets now represent 47% of the US smartphone market. iPhone also gained some points thanks to the recent launch of iPhone 4S. iPhone covers 30% of the smartphone market. comScore also noted that almost 40% of the US mobile population carry smartphones and that means nearly 100 million people.
Enough with the figures, it’s more than obvious that people are accessing the Internet using smartphones and tablet pc’s. Ever noticed your Facebook feed? Your friends and contacts are uploading photos, updating their status, and checking-in at a restaurant using a mobile app. In the ’90′s, you’re definitely itching to establish your website on the Web because of the dot-com bubble. Today, we live in the age of “instant” where we all want content and information in a push of a button. And that button is located on your smartphone, your friends’ smartphone, and your potential customers’ smartphone.
So as a business owner, what do you need to do? Start creating a mobile website that looks presentable on any mobile device. It’s a bit difficult but the efforts won’t go in vain. You want to increase ROI and acquire leads? You have to put your website not only on people’s monitors but should appear on their smartphones as well. It’s not a fad, Gartner’s study showed that 2011 saw consumers using their smartphones and mobile devices to access the Internet more than PCs. It’s advisable to check out Google’s GoMo so you can acquaint yourself about mobile websites.
The next thing you need to think of is how you can optimize your mobile website. I know some of you are scratching their heads, how different is traditional SEO from mobile SEO? I’ll write that in a separate post so you’ll be more enlightened. But for now, I think you should be thinking how to make your mobile website appear slick before it can be opitmized. Besides, there’s no use in increasing your mobile traffic if your site looks good in an Android phone but looks off in an iPhone.
Check out the video below for an intro to mobile websites by Google.

Automotive SEO, or automotive search engine optimization, is the collection of internet marketing strategies that will propel your dealership’s website to crush your competition and emerge as the dominant automotive dealer in your local market.
While your automotive website enables you to “get in the game” so to speak, showcasing your vehicle inventory, staff and company to all who visit, it is automotive SEO that truly drives Ups. Isn’t that why we are all online – to drive more Ups and sell more cars!?
Automotive SEO is a cornerstone of the Digital Profusion digital offerings. Whether you are small town or big city, one dealership or dozens — automotive search engine optimization by Digital Profusion will set you apart from your competitors. Have you ever wondered why your dealership uses the same digital marketing agency as all of your competitors? Think a big name company selling the same cookie-cutter, inexpensive automotive SEO packages to every automotive dealership in your city is the smart approach?
We didn’t think so!
Digital Profusion delivers real world, proven results with our automotive SEO solutions.
It’s critical to have your automotive dealership listed in dozens and dozens of locally focused directories and review sites. This will give your car dealership the needed authority to help boost your local maps listing. A large number of accurate citations will strongly influence yourAutomotive SEO. By accurate I mean you should always ensure your car dealership’s Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) are correctly listed on each local directory.
While videos should be an important part of your automotive digital marketing strategy, they also serve as an excellent source of relevant local links and citations back to your car dealership.
We see many automotive dealerships writing press releases, but unfortunately most squander the chance to gain tangible automotive local seo boosts through these releases. Never miss out on the chance to generate quality “fresh” backlinks to your automotive website using your release.
Automotive reputation management has become front of mind for many dealerships and is now considered a separate discipline from automotive SEO. These review sites are good for more than simply positive PR about your rooftop. The NAP, or name, address, and phone number for your dealership should be exactly the same on all of these sites as in your Google and Bing listing.
Recent feedback from Google suggests that 2013 will be the year that Google penalizes businesses in the search results who have poor customer reviews. Are you ready!?
Since early 2012 Google (and likely Bing) have used social factors to help rank your retail automotive dealership for key automotive local search terms. Things like your facebook fan page, twitter account, and even Pinterest now play a real role in determining where your automotive dealership will rank.
Your blog is critical to the automotive SEO process. Your blog’s content must be written and structured in a way that Google and Bing recognize the fresh content that markets your dealership. The more often you publish fresh content about your vehicle inventory, automotive financing, automotive pricing, and even dealership updates the better. Google and Bing will start to visit your automotive website more frequently, and will likely discover more pages throughout your website.
Local search for your automotive dealership should not include spammy, automated backlinks in 2013. These mass generated links provide virtually no value today, and are simply a remnant of the SEO community’s past. Unfortunately, many SEO companies don’t realize this yet!
Links from other automotive related sites, press releases, social media properties, videos and authority sites will make a difference in your automotive SEO success. Quality automotive SEO is about great content – whether on your website, guest posts on other sites, or across press releases and social media.
We want to know about your business, and your goals. Your hopes and dreams. Your aspirations. Okay, that’s a little heavy handed, but we’re going to get downright nosy about your business.
We want to know products, services, how you see your social audience, how you see your competitors. We want to know what you’re doing in marketing. We want to know what you want your business to do, how you want it to grow.
Then, we’ll plan our work for you. We’ll show you a road map of how social media in all its forms can help you attain your marketing goals. Customized to where you are right now and where you want to go. Your social media strategy will complement your marketing efforts as well as your overall online presence.
You’ll start to see results within the first 30 to 60 days. But you have to keep in mind, Social Media is a cumulative process that grows over a period of time. Your Social Media presence will grow and evolve and adjust in order to stay lively and engaging on all fronts.

PPC Marketing is somewhat similar to search engine optimisation (SEO). You still have to be fully aware of keywords and competitive analysis and you have to monitor constantly to maintain your campaign and get the maximum return on your investment. The biggest difference between SEO and PPC is that pay per click will generally get faster results for your dealership. SEO and social processes are cumulative efforts that truly grow in time, and it may take months to improve your site’s rankings in search engines. PPC marketing could bring results in days, and figuring ROI is a much easier proposition.
Essentially, you chose the keywords you want to advertise for, set your prices and begin a campaign to land at the top of page one on Google search with your ad. We can make that happen in a couple of days.
We’ll get your dealership site on page one of Google too, it will just take a little longer to see the results of SEO and Social.
