6 SEO TACTICS THAT REALLY WORK

Check out our latest tactics that drive proven results.

THE SEARCH IS IN OUR DNA

Founded by a few dealers with a passion for search marketing in 2011, we set out to maximize dealer ROI with high-ranking SEO content and efficient, high-converting paid search campaigns. Then, things escalated. We began building our own technology to push the limits of what was possible for targeting and converting ready-to-buy shoppers.

NOW WE CONNECT THE ENTIRE JOURNEY

By deploying our fully connected marketing strategy, you can guide shoppers through each touchpoint in the car buying journey — maximizing ROI by converting more customers for (way) less advertising spend.

RESEARCH

Our holistic SEO Strategy draws in and captures high-funnel shoppers looking for answers, while our Cars.com Display solution conquests active shoppers away from researching your competitors.

DISCOVERY

You can’t wait for all customers to come to you. We drive high-quality traffic to your website by making sure local shoppers across social advertising and in-market video channels discover your unique brand and offers.

INTENT

Then, we capture all of that increased awareness and shopping intent by dominating the SERP. Our holistic organic, local, and paid search strategy maximizes your dollars only on low-funnel, ready-to-buy shoppers.

CONVERSIONS

Even the most dominant marketing strategy doesn’t do much good if your website isn’t set-up to convert. That’s why we built our advanced Website Platform and assembled a legendary Managed Services team that keeps your offers and creative in-sync and optimized to turn visitors into customers.

RE-ENGAGEMENT

The most likely customers are the ones you’ve already met, so we keep new shoppers and past customers tied to your dealership with dynamic inventory remarketing, custom-tailored email marketing, and personalized website experiences that greet them based on their past shopping activity.

REPUTATION

After we help our dealers drive sales and service through a great customer experience, we sync with DealerRater® Reviews to turn those happy customers into a powerful reputation that draws in more and more customers across platforms through trust, awareness, and personal connections.
