How We Run a Dealership Competitor SEO Audit (And Why Most Dealers Skip the Steps That Actually Matter)

A dealership competitor SEO audit identifies exactly which local inventory and service queries rivals own, then reverse-engineers their wins into a prioritized action plan. The process covers keyword gap analysis, landing page teardowns, Google Business Profile comparisons, technical benchmarking, and backlink review. Dealers who run structured audits and act on findings typically capture 30 to 50 additional organic leads monthly from queries competitors currently dominate.

How We Help Dealers Prove SEO ROI in Test Drives and Units Sold

Dealership SEO ROI is measurable when you connect organic traffic to showroom outcomes. Map organic visits through a conversion cascade (visits to leads to appointments to sales), calculate true customer acquisition cost using dealership unit economics, and report results in the language GMs already use: test drives, attributed units, and gross profit per vehicle. A 90-day pilot focused on inventory pages and local SEO typically produces 3 to 6 additional attributed sales.
When Local SEO Beats PPC: A Dealership Decision Framework

Local SEO outperforms PPC for dealerships when competitor bid wars inflate click costs, Google Business Profile markets are saturated, and inventory-specific searches go uncontested.

A local market audit of ad costs, search demand, and competitor density reveals when to shift budget from paid clicks to organic growth
