How Branded Keywords Affect Your Dealership Website

Sifting through keywords is an important part of the digital marketing workflow for any business, but it is especially important for your website and Pay Per Click strategy. While any website can have thousands of keywords that are used to find it, being able to tell which ones are branded and which ones are generic is important to your dealership’s strategy and product. Branded keywords are words that customers use on search engines to find your site when they are specifically trying to find your dealership. Generic keywords can be any other words that people use to find your site – or the products and services you offer – on a search engine. People don’t always know a URL, so they often will search for the brand, or a variation of it, and that is where branded keywords come in.

For those of you who don’t know, “indexed pages” are those pages that a search engine has crawled and “filed,” which then have the ability to rank (and theoretically earn traffic). This number used to serve an indication of site architecture and “crawlability.” In the very beginning this number actually had some merit, but that was before the significant improvements in crawler sophistication and scalability … and you know… logic.

Make Your Content Marketing Strategy Excel

Make your content marketing strategy excelContent marketing is evolving, and the automotive world is not immune to this. All over the map, car dealerships are beginning to understand that content marketing is an essential part of an online marketing strategy.

With more and more dealerships starting their own blogs and overall content marketing strategy, the internet is naturally getting more and more crowded with vehicle knowledge. The problem is, much of what is being put out there isn’t of great value to the reader and is written by someone without a background in writing or marketing. While it is content in the most basic sense, it isn’t valuable content. (more…)

Use unique vehicles to highlight your dealership

Use unique vehicles to highlight your dealership

Get a unique car in trade? Use it to your advantage.

It’s obvious that new car dealers like to highlight their new car inventory. It makes sense, right? With the number of people out there looking for information on the new cars on the market, it is a good strategy to market the new inventory.

While this can be effective, there are restrictions to how much this can actually set your dealership apart from others. This opens up a great opportunity for a dealership to highlight some of its “less traditional” inventory. Every dealer has the opportunity to take unique cars in trade – cars that you might not see very often on the roads. Why not use them to set yourself apart? (more…)

Formulating the best content strategy for your dealership

DealerFire has the content strategy for your car dealership.

Writing successful online content as a car dealership can be challenging. When writing about car models on your blog, for example, you might know that the new 350-horsepower sports car that is coming out will generate the most online reader traffic. But, the fact is, you also may also know that most consumers actually convert on the “less exciting,” but more responsible family sedans. So how do you decide what should be the main focus on your content strategy – and how do you strike a balance between traffic and consumer-related focus? (more…)
