The Automotive Marketing Challenge

Car buyers do extensive online research before visiting a dealership. If you're not visible during this research phase, competitors capture the lead before you even get a chance.

We help automotive businesses capture buyers earlier in their journey and nurture them through to purchase and ongoing service relationships.

Common Challenges We Solve

  • Competition from manufacturer direct sales
  • High customer acquisition costs
  • Long research cycles before purchase
  • Poor service department utilization
  • Limited brand differentiation
  • Declining foot traffic to showrooms

Our Approach

We focus on full-funnel visibility, from early research through purchase and ongoing service retention.

Model-Specific SEO

Landing pages optimized for 'buy [brand] [city]' and model comparison searches.

Video Content

Showcase vehicles, features, and driving experiences for visual impact.

Meta Ads

Target by income, car enthusiast interests, and life events (new job, growing family).

Google Ads

Capture high-intent 'car dealership near me' and model-specific searches.

Lead Capture Tools

Lease/finance calculators and configurators that capture qualified leads.

Service Retention

Service reminder and loyalty campaigns for repeat business and referrals.

In Practice

What This Looks Like in Practice

95% of car buyers research online before visiting a dealership, and the average buyer spends 14 hours researching their purchase. If your dealership isn't part of that research journey, you're waiting for walk-ins that increasingly never come.

Example 1

A multi-franchise dealership group with 5 locations

Created model-specific landing pages with detailed specs, financing options, and local inventory feeds. Built a video content programme with walkarounds, comparison reviews, and service centre tours. Optimised each location for 'car dealer near me' searches.

28% increase in test drive bookings from organic search, with video content driving 3x higher engagement than static listings

Example 2

A luxury pre-owned car dealer competing against AutoTrader

Built a premium brand experience with editorial-quality vehicle features, detailed provenance histories, and virtual viewing options. Created comparison content ('BMW X5 vs Mercedes GLE') targeting high-intent research queries.

Reduced AutoTrader dependency from 70% to 40% of enquiries while improving average profit per unit by £800

Example 3

A service centre wanting to increase workshop bookings

Implemented a review generation system targeting post-service customers, created seasonal maintenance content, and ran hyper-local Meta Ads to vehicle owners within 10-mile radius with service reminders.

Workshop utilisation increased from 65% to 88% within 4 months, with online bookings growing 120%

Who This Is For

  • Franchise and independent dealerships with £5M+ turnover looking to reduce portal advertising costs
  • Luxury and prestige car dealers wanting to build a premium digital brand experience
  • Service centres and workshops looking to increase bookings and customer retention
  • Multi-site dealer groups needing consistent digital presence across all locations
