New Panda Update

Google announced a few days ago via Matt Cutts Twitter that they are rolling another Panda update. This is significant because we tend to react to big events but not to small roll outs and Google (Panda updates started in 2011). In this article from last year you can see some time perspective and also a good video from Matt Cutts explaining what to do if you were affected by the changes. How does Panda affect my dealership? We believe that Panda will affect long tail searches right away and different dealers need to look at slightly different strategies depending on their situation. Some easy to see gains are searches like this one 2014 toyota corolla everett. For dealers like Tom Matson in Auburn where they have heavy PPC competition plus Google bringing “other” Auburn’s across the US into the SERP local content was very important (notice usually Auburn Dodge Indiana in the SERP). Content strategies: There is no one strategy better than other, there is a time line of strategies. Focus on your area of business first so you show Google content and keywords for your … Continue reading

Google Search Algorithm Update: Panda 4.0

May 20th, Google released yet another update to their search algorithm.  This update primarily targeted duplicate content, thin content, and low quality content.  This update is estimated to effect approximately 7.5% of search results.  Everyday Google is working on ways to improve their search results, trying to serve up the best possible search results. What is duplicate content, thin content, and low quality content? Duplicate content is when one website steals or borrows content from another website.  For example an article from one blog is copy and pasted into another blog.  Google gives very little value to content it recognizes as duplicate than original / unique content. Thin content is when a webpage or website has very little content on the page or site.  Google doesn’t give a number of words it likes to see on every page, but if a webpage has less then 50 or 100 words on it, there is a chance Google won’t value it very highly. Low quality content is a mixture of duplicated content, spammy content, bad spelling, and grammatical errors.  If a webpage’s … Continue reading

Estimating Your Monthly PPC Budget

When deciding to invest in PPC marketing, one of the first questions that needs to be answered is, “How much should I spend?” Since most car dealers know that they need to get involved in PPC since nearly 90 percent of people us the internet when shopping for cars. However, most people don’t have a clue when it comes to deciding how much of their marketing budget should be allocated to PPC advertising. Here are some things that you should consider when determining your PPC ad budget. Your advertising target radius First, determine what areas you want your ads to target. Are you going to be advertising your product locally? regionally? nationally? Or globally? The wider you cast your advertising net the more traffic you’ll be bringing in and the larger your budget to be. Having a $5,000 dollar monthly budget may be adequate for a business with a 20-mile target radius around their business, but that same amount would be spread quite thin on a state or national level. In fact, that amount probably wouldn’t last before your first … Continue reading

Content Strategy

We started building a new type of set pages for content, specially focused on new cars. The pages don’t look different than many other companies new car model pages, what is different are the links to content. In this example for Larson Nissan, you can see that besides accessing the inventory, brochures, incentives, etc (information that most dealer websites have) we also added pages with model information and trim information. The model and trim pages are build with unique content as required by the latest Google SEO updates. These pages are not built all at once but several each month, for example you can see that Larson Cadillac has model pages but not trims yet. Whilehttp://www.toyotaoftacoma.com/op-2013-toyota-camry-hybrid-for-sale-near-fife/ it would be easier for us to build it all at once a constant flow of content signals Google that there is new material to index and therefore increases the chances of getting our website crawled and therefore indexed. Enhancing content with video: We also build pages for those dealers that have been working with us for a while for the 2013 model line. … Continue reading
