Automotive Local Search Case Study by Qualify LLC

Case Study: Automotive Showroom & Service Center

Qualify LLC's founder and managing partner Scott Feder, engaged with a prominent auto dealer in Northern Virginia to manage their digital marketing for 90 days.

The short term objectives were to build brand awareness, to feature the showroom location and to promote the auto center services available to owners of European sports cars, luxury sedans and sports utility vehicles.

SIGNALING & AMPLIFICATION

As soon the website essentials were in place, we created and published a steady flow of new and engaging content online.

We posted numerous times daily on multiple channels including Google, Facebook and Instagram with links back to landing pages on the company website.

  • Showroom & Shop Images
  • Auto Service Videos
  • Service Announcements
  • Technician Profiles
  • Auto News - Blog Articles
  • Press Releases
  • Event Photos
  • Promotional Offers
  • Reviews & Testimonials

Digital Marketing Results

Most SEO advisors will tell you that it can take 6 to 9 months to achieve meaningful results. That can be the case depending on the currrent state of a company's web presence. However, in this situation our team was able to move the needle dramatically in less than 90 days.

A key initiative was to create new keywords related content. Important information including details about the cost of vehicle ownership, maintenance and repair were published for each British, German and Italian sports luxury brand serviced by the dealer. Promotional imagery by brand was created and posted with links back to the website where customers could learn more about auto services by make and model.
