First Rule of SEO

“Know WHO You Are and WHAT You Want.”

Who Are You?

Where is your market, who are your competitors? What is different about your dealerships? What makes you better than your competitors? What is your Unique Selling Proposition?

What Do You Want? What type of buyers do you want to serve? How much growth? National? Local? Both? What does that look like? Do you really want it?

Check Your Link Profile

Conduct analysis on your own backlink profile. Use disavow if necessary. Conduct analysis on your competitor’s backlink profile. Check on your breakdown of anchor text. Check the profiles of sites that you think you want to get links

from before pursuing opportunities. Watch your links, if you have a drop in rankings, look for fishy

links. Considering the harm that can come from bad links, it’s worth it to keep a close eye on everything.
