HOW CLIENTS FIND YOU NOW
One search, three places to win.
Car buyers and drivers with a problem search by make, model or repair and by town, mostly on a phone. They choose from the map pack, the search results and, more and more, an AI answer that names a few dealers or shops.
used cars near me
The map pack
For "near me" searches, the three map results take most of the calls. Your Google Business Profile, its categories, service list, hours, photos and reviews decide whether you are one of the three.
What we do: We set up your profile, with separate sales, service and parts listings where Google allows it, and help you earn steady reviews.
Google search results
Below the map, Google ranks the page that matches the exact car or repair. A vehicle page that loads fast and stays indexed, or a "brake repair in Mesa" page, beats a long inventory list or an "our services" page.
What we do: We fix how inventory pages are indexed and build a page for each service, make and town you want to win.
AI answers
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Copilot are now part of car shopping and repair research. They name businesses whose services, hours, reviews and details are clear and the same across the web.
What we do: We write answer-first service pages and keep your hours, services and details consistent everywhere.
Then they call the business that showed up clearest.
WHAT WE DO
Rank, get named, get the call.
Three parts that build on each other: SEO so your inventory, services and parts rank, AI search so you get named in answers, and conversion so the visit becomes a call, a booking or a lead.

THE FIRST 90 DAYS
What happens, and when.
The first three months lay the foundation. Nothing here promises rankings, sales or car counts; it is the order the work happens in.
- 1Month 1
Audit and plan
Call and form tracking checked, a technical audit of inventory, service and parts pages, your Google Business Profile reviewed, and the services, makes and towns to target agreed with you.
- 2Month 2
Fix and build
Indexing and speed fixes ship, the first service and model pages go live after your approval, and the profile updates are made.
- 3Month 3
Pages get found
Google picks up the new pages and early movement shows on the easier local searches. Your report includes what AI assistants say about the business.
From there the work compounds month on month. Car sales and repairs are seasonal, so we compare like months and suggest six months before you judge the results.
BY SPECIALTY
Planned for how you work.
Dealers, repair shops and parts sellers win different searches, so we plan the pages around how your customers shop.
- New and used car dealershipsInventory that changes daily, where indexing, speed and sold-vehicle pages decide what Google shows.
- Auto repair and serviceUrgent, local searches by repair and town, won on the map and with clear service pages.
- Collision and body shopsInsurance questions, photos of real work and reviews carry the call.
- Tires, oil change and quick lubeSame-day searches where hours, wait times and booking matter most.
- Parts and accessories sellersBig catalogs searched by part number, fitment and model year.
- Powersports, UTV and specialtySmall, loyal markets where detailed product pages and how-to guides win.
Written within the automotive advertising rules
In the US, the FTC Act bars deceptive advertising, and the FTC has warned dealership groups that advertised vehicle prices must include all mandatory fees, even after a court vacated its CARS Rule in January 2025. Many states add their own dealer advertising rules, such as disclosures next to an advertised price. Many states also require repair shops to give written estimates, and under federal warranty law a business should not claim that only dealer service or original parts keep a warranty valid. Parts sellers need accurate fitment, and parts that affect emissions carry federal and California rules on how they are sold. We write claims you can stand behind, and you approve every page before it goes live.
The cost depends on your locations and departments, the size of your inventory or parts catalog and how crowded your local market is. SEO plans are listed on the pricing page, and on the first call we say which one matches your goals.
QUESTIONS
Automotive SEO, answered.
01How long does automotive SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and Google Business Profile changes often show early movement within two to three months, with steadier growth over six to twelve. A repair shop in a mid-size town usually moves faster than a dealership in a big metro competing with large groups and listing sites. Demand is seasonal too, so we compare the same months year on year.
02Our dealership inventory comes from a feed. Can you still do SEO on it?
Usually, yes. Most dealer websites run on a platform that builds vehicle pages from your inventory feed. We check that those pages can be crawled, load fast, have unique titles and do not leave dead ends when a car sells. Where the platform limits changes, we build make, model, service and location pages around it.
03Do you work with repair shops and parts sellers, not just dealers?
Yes. Repair and body shops mostly win on the map and with a clear page for each repair. Parts sellers win with product and category pages people find by part number and fitment. The proof on this page comes from Bad Boy Recoil Parts, an online store for electric UTV parts, not a dealership. We say that plainly because the work differs.
04Can we have separate Google listings for sales, service and parts?
Google lets car dealerships list departments such as sales, service and parts separately, each with its own hours and phone number, when they meet its guidelines. We set them up so they support each other instead of competing for the same searches.
05Do we need AI search as well as SEO?
Drivers and car buyers now ask ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews which shop or dealer to try. Those answers name only a few businesses, drawn from reviews, listings and pages. The groundwork overlaps with SEO, so we plan both together and you choose how far to take the AI side.
06What does automotive SEO cost?
It depends on your locations and departments, the size of your inventory or catalog and how crowded your market is. SEO plans are listed on the pricing page, and on the first call we say which one matches your goals.
07Can you guarantee we rank first on the map?
No. Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence, and nobody controls how far a searcher is from you. What we commit to is the work: a complete profile, a page for each service, reviews earned the right way and honest monthly reporting.
