Services / Local SEO & Google Business Profile
Show up when someone nearby is ready to buy.
When a shopper searches your brand plus your city, or "used trucks near me", Google shows three stores in the map pack. Those three get most of the calls and direction requests. This service is about being one of them — and looking like the obvious choice when you are.
Signs this is costing you deals
- You don't show in the map pack for your own brand plus your city
- Your Google profile has old photos, no recent posts, or the wrong hours
- Service and parts calls go to reception because there's one phone number
- A competitor with fewer reviews outranks you
- Nobody at the store owns the profile week to week
The plan, step by step
- 01
Fix the foundation
Primary and secondary categories, name, departments, hours, phone numbers, website link with tracking, description and attributes. Most stores gain ground from this step alone.
- 02
Build the weekly habit
One real post, five new photos and replies to every new review, every week. I do it, or I set it up so your team can keep it going.
- 03
Add the pages that back it up
Location and model-line pages on your website that match what people search, so Google and AI assistants have something solid to point to.
- 04
Track what matters
Calls, direction requests and website clicks from the profile, plus your position in the map pack for the searches that matter — by model line, not vanity keywords.
Numbers you'll see every month
On one page, in plain language. If a number isn't moving, we change the plan.
- Calls from your Google profile
- Direction requests
- Map pack position for your top 10 searches
- Review count and reply rate
Straight answers
How long does local SEO take to work for a dealership?
Profile fixes can move things in a few weeks. Steady gains in the map pack usually take two to four months of consistent posting, photos and reviews. Anyone promising page one in a week is guessing.
Do I need a separate profile for service and parts?
Usually one profile with departments set up properly is best — separate hours and phone numbers for sales, service and parts. Some larger stores also have separate listings that Google allows. I'll look at your setup and tell you which fits.
Can you guarantee a top-3 spot in the map pack?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Distance from the searcher matters a lot and nobody controls that. What I can do is fix everything that is in your control, and show you the numbers every month.
