Why you need specialist automotive SEO to drive your business forward
Our approach to SEO is bespoke for every automotive business. We look at your past performance, current performance, competitors’ performance, and your specific search landscape to formulate an impactful strategy that gets you results.
But why does an automotive company like yours need specialist SEO? There are a number of key unique challenges:
Intense competition
The automotive industry, whether car sales, insurance, or a more niche peripheral, is a hugely competitive one. A standard SEO approach won’t deliver you the results you need for your business to thrive – you need a specialist agency that understands what it takes to be truly competitive.
Specialist subject area
Cars are complex engineered performance machines. To be a car expert, it takes more than a few searches online. We’ve got expertise at MRS Digital from insurance to petrol retail and automotive engineering. The work you’re getting is being produced and reviewed by people who get it.
Lengthy sales funnels
Selling a new car doesn’t necessarily happen overnight, likewise neither does the decision to sign up to a car detailing maintenance program.
Your potential customers are out there looking for answers and solutions, but if your competitor gets there first then you’ve missed out. They’ll want to know what the best option is for them, what they can, or need, to afford and how what you provide is the right option.
Localisation
Car dealers, garages, body shops, and part specialists all rely heavily on local traffic. If you operate a chain, then you need to be sure that you’re getting the right people to the relevant locations. SEO will ensure that people from Bristol aren’t served information about a car dealer in Lincolnshire when you’ve got another garage down the road.
Financial implications
Google wants to make sure that any financial products, like car financing or insurance, are from legitimate sources. We can help you to show Google and other search engines that you meet E-E-A-T and is approved and overseen by professionals.

What’s included in our automotive SEO service?
All of our SEO work is tailored to your business’s specific needs and goals, and so the weighting of specific parts of SEO will depend on a number of factors. We don’t provide fixed packages, but you can expect to see work from us including some or all of the following:
SEO Audit
We audit your website to understand how all pillars of SEO are performing – from content to technical. We’ll see how you stack up against the competition and identify your strengths, weaknesses, and challenges. No decision is worth making without the data to back it up, so we get the data we need before we strategize.
SEO Strategy & Keyword Strategy
Once we’ve got the data and have analysed your website and your unique search landscape, we come up with a plan of action. We’ll take into consideration your goals and what your competitors are doing. You’ll get a comprehensive, bespoke SEO strategy, alongside a keyword strategy with assignment.
Onsite Content Strategy
We know you’ve got target keyword goals, and quality, in-depth and intent-matched content is going to help you achieve them. Whether we’re writing about Wankel rotary engines or the best paint colour for your car, our content will help to deliver you new leads and more traffic. We tailor content from the top-of-the-funnel to the bottom.
Outreach and Digital PR
While great onsite content is one element of SEO, getting your content seen by new audiences and demonstrating expertise in relevant offsite publications is another part. You need the authoritativeness to rank those higher positions in the search results – and there’s no better way to build that than by having established websites link to you. Our PR experts will get you placements in leading industry publications.
Technical SEO
Are you certain your site is fully accessible to Google’s search crawlers? Do you know if your site has broken links or slow loading pages? If you don’t have the foundations of technical SEO in place, even Pulitzer winning content won’t be able to reach the top of the search results. A good site is more than just one that works – it’s also about ensuring the user has a great experience on site and Google can easily access it.
In-depth Reporting
At the end of every month, your account manager will send you a comprehensive report with all the statistics and analysis you need to know about your SEO performance so that we’re held accountable for your success.
