Who We Serve
Three types
of shops.
One problem.
Google's algorithm treats automotive businesses differently. Generic SEO agencies don't know the difference between a VDP and a service page. We do.
Franchise Dealerships
Your Google Business Profile is sliding below Carvana and Cars.com. We rebuild your local authority so buyers searching "Honda dealer near me" find your lot first — not an aggregator.

Independent Body Shops

How It Works
The algorithm
doesn't negotiate.
Four phases. No retainer lock-in until month three. If we don't move your rankings in 90 days, you don't pay for month four.
Algorithm Teardown
We pull every ranking signal Google is using to score your competitors — not your site. Technical crawl, backlink gap, content topology, GBP audit, citation consistency. We find exactly where their authority comes from.
Keyword Architecture
Automotive search intent is specific: "transmission repair 77084" is not the same as "transmission shop Houston." We build a keyword map that matches buyer intent at every stage — from research to repair order.
Content & Authority Build
Service pages that rank. VDPs that get indexed. GBP posts that surface in local packs. Citation cleanup that eliminates duplicate listings killing your local trust score. No generic blog posts. No keyword stuffing.
Rank, Monitor, Dominate
Weekly rank tracking across 50+ target keywords. Monthly reporting tied to phone calls and form fills — not impressions. When Google updates, we adapt before your rankings drop.
