EDealer is your top source for an all-encompassing website experience and high level representation in search engines. The framework for all of this is built through Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and management. Our strategists are experts in making sure your website is easily read by Google, that you’re visible in the local algorithm and that you’re continually ranking in the organic algorithm and driving traffic to your most important pages through effective content marketing.
To get your dealership where it needs to go online, we have eight SEO packages designed specifically for dealers like you. A new website built with us will always be SEO-optimized at its inception, but that’s just a one-time helping hand. The true value and success of SEO is seen through consistent and ongoing work. Whether you require Local, Technical or Content Marketing SEO assistance, or all three, there’s a package to suit your needs.
Local SEO
Your website has long been considered the one online focal point for your business, and while still exceedingly important, there’s another realm you need to have control over for a properly holistic dealership presentation. The Local SEO algorithm concerns people trying to find local businesses by making relevant searches. Huge components of this include your Google My Business Profile Listing (almost a secondary website at this point) and your position in Google Maps, with optimization and monitoring of these segments being extremely significant for growth. Our Local SEO packages make certain your dealership is seen by those interested in businesses like yours.
Local SEO Essential
This introductory tier gets your dealership acquainted with the base level necessities for Local SEO. Google My Business optimization is the cornerstone of this package, along with Google posts (more defined GMB work is done in the Accelerate package). Monthly reporting will keep you up-to-date on the performance of your dealer profile, and how it’s faring from desktop to mobile. Our Essential offering is called that because we believe it to be vital, an integrated part of your dealership’s comprehensive online solutions.
Local SEO Accelerate
The Essential package gets your foot in the door in the Local SEO sphere, but the Accelerate packages busts it wide open and covers every facet that success in the area demands. In-depth Google My Business optimization features and monitoring are added, such as products & services support and spam fighting. Citation building is included as a key cog in expanding out your dealership’s presence across the internet. Your connection to the teams at EDealer deepens with this package’s strategy and performance calls, direct access to an analyst and connection with the Digital Advertising team.

Technical SEO
Technical SEO concerns the foundation of your website. Whether you’re building one for the first time or trying to repair your current one as you go, it’s important to consistently maintain the framework of your site. Unfortunately, you can’t just dump words and text onto a page and expect search engines like Google to fully understand what you’re trying to get across. That’s where technical SEO comes into play, making sure your website pages effectively “speak Google’s language,” thus easily making them more simply able to be crawled, and then indexed for your prospective customers to find. It’s not always visible, but it’s doing the hard work underneath the surface of your website. If you need someone to see it for you, our technical SEO packages will keep your website structured and built to thrive in the modern search engine.
General Technical SEO Essential
Our base technical SEO package provides all-important monitoring of some of your website’s most crucial elements. This package is perfect for those who create their own content, but who may not be up to snuff on modeling it to SEO standards, we’ll pick up the slack. Or, perhaps you’re just worried about your website’s structural performance, maybe it’s never been audited for proper technical SEO quality, we’ll take care of that, too. And, thanks to our monthly reporting you’ll see the exact issues with your site and what we’re doing to resolve them.
Advanced Applied Technical SEO Accelerate
If those Advanced, Applied and Accelerate words weren’t enough of a clue, our top tier package is for those who want the absolute height of our technical SEO services. Added on here is additional optimization, utilizing structured data and schema markup, which is code built into your website that provides better constructive extensions and data for users. Two extra audit reviews serve to show our advantages against any competitor inquiries, while A/B testing will ensure your website is getting the best tailored performance for your dealership’s goals. This package is further connected through a relationship with our EDealer Digital Advertising team, ensuring your paid ads work in conjunction with the organic side.

Content Marketing
Content Marketing is all about creating valuable and educational content that expertly informs your customers about their questions on your dealership’s offerings and beyond, as well as improving your website’s brand authority as a top ranking choice. Mixing user experience, a defined channel of a consistent organic traffic audience and positioning your website as a key source in search engines, content marketing combines all SEO is primed to do.
New Vehicle Content Marketing Plus
Vehicles are comprehensive beasts, and thus comes a lot of questions from prospective buyers. With effective content marketing, you can get out ahead of them and create informative model landing pages, comparisons against your competition, blogs that answer specific questions (ex. How does the entertainment system in the vehicle work? What models have 4×4 capabilities?, etc.) and many more. That’s exactly what this base package aims to produce, with two fully-optimized content pieces per month. You’ll receive monthly reports and strategy calls to go over how your content is contributing to your website’s performance, as well as organizing strategy for the coming month’s content direction.
New Vehicle Content Marketing Accelerate
If two pieces of content isn’t enough for your needs, our Accelerate package doubles that output, for four total landing pages or blog posts per month. Does your dealership brand have a lot of models, ones that demand specific landing page attention? Really want to hammer home how superior your models are over the competition? If so, this package is for you, thanks to its increased production. Link building is also added onto this level, a key component for next-level SEO success for the created content. Coordination with our Digital Advertising department ensures your relevant ads will be directly linked through landing pages made through this package.

Allowing them to learn from your dealership, cement it as an authoritative place for online knowledge and where customers know they can go to get quality work done. An initial content audit will be done, along with ongoing optimization to ensure your site is always structured as it should to get the most out of our content marketing strategies. Monthly reports, calls and access to an SEO strategist ensures you’re always in tune with what this package provides.
