In PracticeWhat 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%
