SEO for Automotive
We help automotive services and dealerships rank higher on Google and attract more qualified traffic. Not generic SEO - targeted strategies built specifically for automotive businesses that drive real results.
Common SEO Problems for Automotive
We've helped dozens of automotive services and dealerships improve their search rankings. These are the problems they all had before working with us.
Losing to Auto Portals
Sites like AutoTrader and Trade Me Motors dominate vehicle searches. Your dealership or workshop website is nowhere to be seen.
No Service-Specific Rankings
You offer WOFs, servicing, tyres, and repairs - but none of these services rank in your area. Customers go to whoever shows up first.
Vehicle Pages Not Optimised
Your inventory pages have thin descriptions and no structured data. Google doesn't understand what you're selling.
Few or No Google Reviews
Trust is everything in automotive. Your Google listing has barely any reviews while competitors have hundreds.

Our SEO Process
A proven process that delivers measurable SEO results for automotive services and dealerships.
SEO Audit & Discovery
We start with a comprehensive audit of your site, your competitors, and your market. This reveals the biggest opportunities and the quickest wins for your business.
Strategy & Roadmap
Based on the audit, we build a prioritised SEO roadmap. You'll know exactly what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what results to expect over the coming months.
Technical & On-Page Fixes
We fix the technical foundations first, then optimise your existing pages for target keywords. This often delivers early wins while we build out the broader strategy.
Content & Authority Building
We create targeted content and build your site's authority through strategic link acquisition. This is where the compounding growth really kicks in.
Monitor, Report & Refine
SEO is never set-and-forget. We continuously track performance, report on progress, and refine the strategy to keep you ahead of your competitors.
