Google Places Optimization for Automotive Dealerships
We are experts in Google Places Optimization for automotive dealerships as well as Local Map Experts on the two other major search engines – Yahoo and Bing.
Recent studies have indicated that as much as 70% of all Internet searches are for local products and services, including searches related to your dealership such as “used cars for sale” The good news is Google took notice of this and created Google Places. Yahoo and Bing also created similar “local” result listings. For example, if a user searches for “Used Cars” in Google, the first results will be Google Places results showing local businesses that offer used cars for sale. Google Places is designed to give local shoppers and searchers the most relevant local businesses that match what the user is searching for. The bad news is that space is limited to a maximum of 7 listings on the first page, competition for page one tends to be very high for dealership related keywords. If you are looking to make the phone and cash register ring, ranking first in Google Places for your desired keyword will provide you with the results you desire. Let our Google Places Optimization experts get your dealership ranked first in Google Places for the most relevant local searches. Proper Google Places Optimization will drive your dealerships name, information, and website to top of Google for the most important related searches.
As a business serving local customers, it is critical to get listed in the first few listings in the Local Maps display of each search engine. When potential users search for “Toyota Dealerships” they want a listing that is relevant to their location. Search engines now provide “smart results” — basically geographically relevant results. This means that the search engine will automatically show local results in your town. This will result in a ‘mini map’ appearing in the search results, that shows and lists business locations and contact information. If your dealership isn’t ranked first in Google Places, you need to speak with us about our Google Places Optimization service.
iMotive Consulting uses proven Google Places Optimization techniques to submit and regularly update your geographic and business information on Google, as well as Bing, and Yahoo and dozens of other directory sites. As part of your Google Places Optimization plan, we continuously resubmit and update your information to achieve and maintain the highest possible position in the local map results of each search engine. This, in combination with our Search Engine Optimization service, your website can possibly show up in multiple places on one search engine results page. The more places your website can be found, the greater the odds are that you will get new leads and new customers. The map features of these search engines are also available through mobile search results, so when customers search for local products or services using their smart phone (such as browsing for used cars at another dealer), your business listing and map will show at the top of the mobile search results.
