Automotive Full-Service Digital Strategy: SEO + SEM + Social Ads

Part 1

How to Improve SEO Marketing for Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Car Dealers

The CHALLENGE

St. Albert Dodge was looking to boost their fixed operations sales and improve OEM keyword ranking for terms related to their brand. They faced ranking challenges for nearby towns like Edmonton and Saskatchewan and were looking to expand their search results to include these valuable local markets.

The SOLUTION

Dealers United boosted St. Albert Dodge’s online presence by creating hyper-local pages for nearby towns, expanding inventory pages, writing OEM-targeted blogs, and designing make/model-specific pages. This targeted approach increased organic site traffic, reduced the service page bounce rate, and dramatically expanded their keyword pipeline from about 50 terms to nearly 4,000.

How to Increase Sales through SEM for Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Dealers

The Challenge

St. Albert Dodge wanted to shift their SEM strategy. Previously focused on branding with broad keyword targeting and video/display campaigns, they had gained high impressions and clicks but needed more conversions. They needed to pivot to an acquisition-focused approach that would turn online traffic into high-quality leads and, ultimately, more car sales.

The Solution

Our solution transformed St. Albert Dodge’s SEM strategy by implementing a full-funnel keyword campaign and updated bidding strategy, which drove high-intent traffic and increased sales conversions. Optimizing the VDP page with a prominent call button led to a 201% increase in calls. Additionally, our targeted promotion of RAM vehicles, emphasizing a strong discount offer, resulted in a 95% increase in leads month-over-month. Together, these strategies significantly boosted the dealership’s market share and solidified its leadership in St. Albert and surrounding areas.

How to Matchback More Car Sales at Your Dodge Dealership with Social Ads 

The CHALLENGE

St. Albert Dodge needed a vendor ready and capable of bringing them into the social market ahead of their competition. Our goal was to develop a strategy that would maximize their digital presence, engage users at every stage of the buying process, and ultimately drive more leads and sales for the dealership.

The SOLUTION

We addressed the challenge by harnessing the exceptional content they were already producing and strategically distributing it across all major social channels, including Meta, Snapchat, Pinterest, and TikTok. By adopting an Omnichannel approach, they ensured consistent messaging and brand presence across platforms, boosting awareness of automotive safety including Teen Road Safety, Road Trips Safety, and Pet Travel Safety. This strategy allowed St. Albert Dodge to engage with potential customers at every touchpoint and get ahead.

Why It’s Worth Partnering with an Automotive Marketing Agency

The Challenge

St. Albert Dodge wasn’t just seeking a standard turnkey solution; they were looking for a true partnership that would guide them in navigating the dynamic world of automotive digital marketing. They wanted a collaborator who could provide direction on the types of content to create and the social trends to follow. With a strong desire to learn and actively engage in the process, they sought a partner who could offer expert advice while fostering a collaborative relationship.

The Solution

St. Albert Dodge demonstrated their commitment to digital marketing excellence by actively seeking our strategic guidance and expertise. They consistently turned our insights into action, with their DU Performance Manager, providing direction that they executed flawlessly, resulting in high-performing video content across all social platforms. Their proactive approach and full staff buy-in allowed us to experiment with new campaign objectives and ad formats, leading to the early adoption of high-impact tactics. This collaborative effort has solidified St. Albert Dodge’s position as a digital marketing leader in their market.

“Before partnering with Dealers United, we were spread thin and struggling to allocate our resources effectively in an area that wasn’t our core expertise. As soon as we brought on Dealers United, everything changed. Just six months into our partnership and we’re already driving results that have exceeded any expectation.”

Automotive Digital Marketing Strategy: SEO + SEM in Q1 2024

Part 1

A Content Rich Automotive SEO Strategy

The CHALLENGE

Rob Sight Ford had a hard time finding the right vendor to help improve their website’s ranking on search engines like Google. They tried different SEO solutions, but none of them delivered the content quality or traffic they were looking for to outrank their competition.

The SOLUTION

To align with Google’s focus on user experience, Dealers United implemented a comprehensive SEO approach targeting the entire sales funnel. We published articles optimized with relevant keywords and supported by extensive research and link-building efforts. For example, we created a Ford Bronco vs. Bronco Sport model comparison blog, which secured a top 5 national ranking! Articles like these help answer questions REAL shoppers are entering into Google, guiding the decision-making process, and ultimately driving highly qualified traffic to Rob Sight Ford.
