KPA Automotive SEO Philosophy
Keyword Philosophy
“Everything
starts with
proper
keyword
selection.”
Cutting Edge Philosophy
“Google and
Bing move
way too
quickly for
strategies that
are not fluid.”
Partnership Philosophy
“Our success
is directly tied
to the
success of
our client
partners.”
A Process that is Proven to Work
Keyword Selection and Adjustment Process
• All keywords selected based upon our knowledge of automotive SEO and the dealer’s knowledge of the market.
• Keywords are adjusted based upon trends and events.
• Targeting is performed to go after competitive metro areas using compliant standards and techniques.
Modern Content Process
• The days of “more is better” have been
replaced with “quality is better”.
• Google and Bing prefer honest content
and misleading them is a risk.
• Most dealerships have content that is
syndicated, duplicated, or fabricated.
We correct this for you.
Link-Building Process
• Low-quality automated links are dead.
• High-quality contextual are golden.
• Monthly, three tiers of links pointing to
the dealership’s site and high-value
pages are built.
• When needed, we pull out “the big
guns” to target challenging keywords.
Informational Architecture Process
• Microformat compliance based on the
schema.org approved structure.
• Standard “basics” such as XML
sitemaps and crawlable architecture
• Inventory sitemaps that help get the
newest items indexed while keeping
aged inventory at the top.
Never-Ending Maintenance Process
Constant additions, adjustments, and improvements made for as long as you’re an Elite SEO partner.
Reporting and Consultation Process
• Monthly consultation
• Robust reporting
• An absolute desire
to succeed for our
client partners
What We Don’t Do
