Most automotive customers start their journey with a search, with over half of all buyers researching online before visiting a showroom, Garage or retail. To succeed in the competitive automotive market, your business needs to be visible where it counts… in search results.
We specialise in SEO for automotive related businesses, designed to boost visibility, engage potential buyers, and drive traffic that converts. As an independent SEO consultant, I deliver focused SEO, PPC, and content solutions, continuously optimised to match industry trends and seasonal demands.
Working with me means gaining a dedicated partner who understands the automotive landscape, with proven results and is committed to helping your business get seen, chosen, and trusted.
Effective SEO is more than just showing up in search results; it’s about appearing precisely where your potential customers are looking. For car dealerships and auto services, this means capturing visibility in local and competitive searches and ensuring that your business is the first choice for buyers and service seekers alike. At Rivmedia, we specialise in SEO tailored specifically for the automotive sector, understanding the unique challenges that dealerships and auto services face in standing out online.
Our approach goes beyond generic SEO practices. We focus on strategies that bring genuine results, such as optimising for local search to attract nearby customers, creating targeted content that builds trust, and refining on-site technical SEO to boost performance and rankings. With Rivmedia, your dealership or service centre gains a targeted SEO approach designed to improve visibility, attract the right audience, and ultimately increase conversions.
There isn’t any type of business that is the same or needs the same kind of work, we price our services based on your particular budgets and needs. Prices range from £350 – £3500 per month, so both small and medium size businesses can benefit from our SEO Services.
We took this project on as a new start up, with zero sales and only SEO as a marketing strategy. 18 months later we turned this business into a 6 figure a month profit, with consistent sales of 130+ per day.
We have since repeated this same process for a subset of this niche, and also have been recently commissioned to do the same within the Private/cherished Number plate niche.
When this company came to us they had a vision to improve their website, start an online store and be known a luxury camper van brand.
Within 6 months we’ve given them a new website, taken their rankings from only ranking for 15 phrases for local targets, to now ranking No.1 for over 50 highly targeted phrases, over 300 high converting phrases in the top 10 and 1500 phrases in the top 30 and moving up rapidly.
Automotive SEO is a specialised approach to search engine optimisation aimed at improving the online visibility of businesses in the automotive industry, such as car dealerships and repair centres. By appearing higher in search results, your business attracts more relevant traffic, leading to more enquiries, showroom visits, and ultimately, sales or service bookings.
With an independent consultant like Adam here at Rivmedia, you receive personalised, hands-on attention and direct communication with the SEO expert managing your account. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach; instead, every strategy is tailored specifically to your business, ensuring your needs and goals are at the forefront.
SEO is a long-term investment, and while some improvements may be visible in a few months, significant results often take 4-6 months. The exact timeframe can vary depending on your starting point, competition, and the strategy employed. However, our continuous optimisation ensures your visibility improves steadily over time.
While SEO is our primary focus, We can also provide PPC (pay-per-click), social media and web design services. This allows us to create a comprehensive digital marketing strategy tailored to the automotive industry, helping you attract and convert more customers across multiple online channels.
We work with a range of automotive businesses, including new and used car dealerships, Garages , service centres, car related retailers such as number plates, exhausts and modifications and online auto parts retailers. Our experience spans various segments of the industry, enabling us to develop targeted SEO strategies for each type of business.
Yes, we provide transparent, easy-to-understand reports on your SEO performance. You’ll receive regular updates on the key indicators we agree to. Of course not everyone wants a report or has any interest in reading them, so if you prefer we can simply provide phone call or meeting updates every 3 to 6 months instead.
Absolutely. We conduct thorough keyword research to identify the most relevant and valuable terms for your business. By targeting these keywords, we improve your chances of ranking highly in search results and driving more qualified traffic to your site.
Although you may have specific target phrases, depending on your websites current authority and your over all marketing activity, we may recommend starting on some lesser competative phrases which are more likely to convert into sales quicker, and earning the right to rank for the more competative core phrases as the campaign grows.
As an independent consultant, we do offer competitive pricing without the high overheads associated with large agencies.
However I certainly wouldnt say we are considerably cheaper, but because we have less overheads, your budget goes alot further. We are also alot more flexible, sometimes taking on clients at lower rates initially to show progress before getting to our desired budget.
SEO is an ongoing process. Search engine algorithms and customer behaviours change, so we continuously monitor and adjust your SEO strategy to maintain and improve your rankings over time. This approach helps ensure long-term success for your business in search results.
Success is measured by a combination of metrics, including search rankings, organic traffic growth, lead volume, and conversions. We work with you to define your goals and ensure our efforts are aligned to deliver tangible, measurable results that impact your bottom line.
