The Googleopoly Strategy

Think of the Google results page as a Monopoly board. Each result is a property, and the more

propertes you own, the greater the chances are that people will land on your propertes and be

required to pay you.

The Googleopoly StrategyHow can you own Google real estate?

• You must have content that ranks on the frst page of Google

• Dominatng Google is more than having a website

• There are two types of search engine optmizaton– 1. Onsite (25%)– 2. Ofsite (75%)

The Googleopoly Strategy

• With one URL you will only be indexed one tme

• You want to have more than one website: Main site, used car, new car, service, afer market, etc.

• Having social sites / videos / images will help you show up more tmes on the frst page of Google

• The more frst page slots you have, the less your competton has

The Googleopoly StrategyHow to diversify your dealerships online

presence• Focus on brand / manufactures • Highlight proft centers

– New, Used, Service, Afermarket, Body Shops, etc. • Make each proft center independently visible
