Frequently Asked Questions

Can dealerships compete with Cars.com and CarGurus in search?

Dealerships can win for local and brand-specific queries like "Toyota dealer [city]" and model-specific research queries. We also build content that captures buyers earlier in their journey before they reach aggregator sites. Local authority, reviews, and original content about specific models give dealers advantages aggregators lack.

How do you handle SEO for constantly changing vehicle inventory?

We implement automated systems for generating and removing vehicle detail pages as inventory changes. Dynamic schema markup updates with each listing, canonical tags prevent duplicate issues, and proper redirects handle sold vehicles. The key is a technical architecture that scales without manual intervention for each vehicle.

Should we invest in SEO for our service department?

Absolutely. Service department searches often have higher conversion rates and lower competition than vehicle sales searches. A well-optimized service department page for oil changes, brake service, or tire rotations can generate consistent monthly appointments at a very low cost per customer acquisition.

How important are reviews for automotive SEO?

Reviews are essential for both sales and service visibility in local search. Google weighs review velocity, quality, and response rate heavily for automotive businesses. We implement review generation workflows for both departments that build social proof while improving local pack rankings consistently over time.

How do we rank for specific vehicle model searches?

We create detailed model research pages with specifications, pricing information, comparison content, and local availability details. These pages target queries like "2026 Honda Accord review" or "best midsize sedan comparison" that shoppers search before visiting dealerships or aggregators to make their purchase decision.
