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

Owner manuals

OWNERS MANUALS Owner’s manuals are now available on the VDP’s left corner (right below the photo). What we have depends on the make (we are missing a couple makes) and the years each make has in digital form. However now that the system to handle the PDF files and to link them to the VDP is set up, any time we can ge new ones we will enhance the system automatically. Notice that in this example we also have a brochure for this vehicle even though is used. The owner’s manuals will not bring any SEO advantage because they are stored in a common resources server and not under your root domain. All the files together had as much data as 8 Blue-Ray movies which will take too much server space. The purpose of the service manuals is to provide more information and engagement opportunities to your customers which increase your time on site and website usefulness.
