YorkSEO Agency

Car dealers · York & Yorkshire

SEO for car dealers: your stock, found on your own site.

Buyers find cars on the big classified sites, then search for the dealer before they travel. We help independent dealers win that second search, and capture more buyers directly.

  • Stock and model pages that rank locally
  • Reviews that survive a buyer’s scrutiny
  • Part-exchange and finance enquiries captured

Typical searches we work on

They found the car elsewhere. Then they looked you up.

Almost every used-car buyer checks the dealer before making the journey: the Google profile, the reviews, the website. A dealer with a thin profile and a slow site loses sales it never knew were in play.

There is also a direct route. Searches for a make and model with a town name, and for “used cars” in each place you draw buyers from, can be won by a dealer’s own website, provided the stock pages are built properly and do not vanish the moment a car is sold.

What makes the difference

Where the work goes first.

What we would usually put right for car dealers and used car sales, in order.

01

Stock pages built for search

Proper titles, full descriptions and many photographs, on pages search engines can read.

02

Model and body-type pages

Permanent pages for the cars you usually stock, so sold vehicles do not take their rankings with them.

03

Google Business Profile

Accurate hours, photographs of the forecourt and a steady flow of reviews.

04

Enquiry routes

Reserve, test drive, part exchange and finance, each a simple form.

05

Reviews

Buyers read the bad ones first. Calm, factual replies matter as much as the rating.

06

Speed

Stock pages are image-heavy. On a phone, slow means gone.

Finance is regulated. Dealers who arrange finance must be authorised to do so, and any advertising of credit has to follow the regulator’s rules on how it is presented. Those rules are under review, so we check the current position, write finance content with your compliance requirements in mind and have it approved by you.

Questions

Car dealers: straight answers.

Something we have not covered? Ask us directly, a person will answer.

Can we reduce what we spend on classified sites?

Possibly, over time. They bring buyers you would not otherwise reach, so the aim is to add a direct channel, not to switch one off.

What happens to a car’s page when it sells?

It should not simply disappear. We set up a rule so sold stock points buyers to similar cars, and the page’s value is kept.

How should we deal with a bad review?

Reply once, calmly and factually, and offer to resolve it directly. Then keep asking happy buyers for theirs.

Is it worth having pages for each make?

For the makes you regularly stock, yes. They catch buyers searching by make and area.
