Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Writing content for your site? Read it out loud [VIDEO]

The content on your dealership’s website is the most important signal of relevancy for Google. If you want more visibility in local searches, you’ve got to have amazing content – content that answers any questions potential customers might have… Content that makes you stand out from all of your competitors… Content that’s unique, relevant, and useful.

Most dealerships have pretty awful content on their sites. We see tons of keyword stuffing, huge lists of nearby cities, giant lists of every conceivable make and model – and none of that stuff works. If your content sounds weird to a human, then it’s not going to help you show up in Google.

This week’s Wednesday Workshop video shares a content writing tip that will help you write better content. Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments after you’re done!

Local SEO Presentation From Confluence Conference

For this week’s Wednesday Workshop video, we’re sharing another recent presentation on Local SEO. I presented at the Confluence Conference in Oklahoma City recently, and this time they filmed my presentation. We’re sharing the video here on the blog so you can see the actual session – it’s almost like you were there!

The slides are a little dark in the video, so I added them in as an overlay so you’re better able to follow along. As always, if you have any questions, just drop them in the comments section below and we’ll get back to you as quickly as we can!

The Six Degrees of Automotive SEO [VIDEO]

Last week, I presented at Digital Dealer 19 in Las Vegas. Even though I got interrupted (twice!) by a fire alarm, the presentation was a huge hit with attendees. We wanted to share the presentation with everyone out there who wasn’t able to attend the conference, so we’re posting it here as this week’s Wednesday Workshop video.

Since it’s a video of the entire presentation, it’s much longer than our typical Wednesday Workshop video – so if you don’t have time to watch it right now, come back when you can take the time to absorb everything.

As always, if you have any questions, leave them in the comment section below, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Google’s Recent Map Pack Update [VIDEO]

You’ve probably noticed the recent update to the map pack on Google’s local search results. We all had a collective freak-out when we saw that the traditional 7-pack had been replaced by the new 3-pack that doesn’t show addresses or phone numbers. Even worse, a click on a pack listing now leads to the new Local Finder page, where competitors are stacked right next to you.

Our latest Wednesday Workshop video outlines all the changes, so you’re up to speed on how the local pack works now. We also talk about getting your dealership into the pack, or skipping it altogether and focusing your efforts on dominating organic results.

How To Do Barnacle SEO [VIDEO]

Have you ever noticed that a ton of directories and 3rd party sites show up in a lot of the automotive searches in your city? That’s one of the results of last summer’s Pigeon update. While all of your competitors are still sitting around whining about the fact that there are fewer spots on page one of Google than ever before, you can use Barnacle SEO to take advantage of the directory sites!

This week’s Wednesday Workshop video explains the concept of Barnacle SEO and then walks you through exactly how to do it. Learn how to target both types of barnacle opportunities – getting your listing on another site to rank well in searches, or getting your listing to show up well in internal searches on a site that shows up well.
