Discuss a dealership SEO plan
Ownership and access
The dealership keeps its own website, domain and content ownership. We agree access and approval responsibilities without assuming control of your stock system or third-party accounts.
Fully managed hosting
If the website is hosted by us, managed hosting is £15 per month or £150 annually, separate from SEO. Your existing dealer-platform charges remain under that provider's agreement.
What the tiers include
Care and monitoring are included in the main SEO plans. Higher tiers retain the lower-tier tasks, with the listed content and Business Profile allowances replacing the smaller totals.

Content changes are separate from hosting alone. Stock-page work depends on platform permissions. External placement and PR fees need separate agreement; advertising and ad spend are not included in these SEO prices.

A few useful answers

Dealership SEO questions

How local search and useful vehicle information fit into a practical SEO plan.

Have a different question? Email us

What is automotive SEO for a car dealership?

Automotive SEO is work on how a dealership website can be found and understood in search. For this service, the focus is your vehicles, business information, local market and enquiry routes. The plan starts with a review of the existing site rather than a claim that every dealership needs the same changes.

How does local SEO help a car dealership website?

Local SEO brings attention to the dealership information nearby buyers need, including your location, opening hours and contact routes. The website and business profile should accurately describe the same dealership. It does not remove the effect of distance or guarantee that your business appears first for every buyer.

Which SEO keywords should a car dealership target?

Target searches that match the vehicles, services and buying area your dealership genuinely serves. Research should separate useful buyer intent from broad car-related traffic. The final terms depend on your stock and business, so a generic list of automotive keywords is not a complete strategy.

Can you review SEO on an existing dealer website platform?

Yes. The existing platform and the access it allows are part of the initial review. Some content or technical changes may need the platform provider rather than a direct edit. Confirm those limits before agreeing work, particularly where stock pages are managed by a separate system.

Is dealership SEO the same as paid car advertising?

No. SEO concerns organic search visibility, while paid advertising places ads through a separate advertising service. Paying for Google ads does not buy a higher organic ranking. A dealership can discuss the roles separately instead of treating them as interchangeable parts of one result guarantee.

Can dealership SEO promise a set number of vehicle enquiries?

No. A fixed number of vehicle enquiries is not a guaranteed SEO outcome. Agree which searches and business goals matter, what work will be carried out and how progress will be reviewed. Reporting should distinguish visibility and visits from genuine buying enquiries.

What does a monthly dealership SEO plan cost?

The main plans cost £100, £200, £350 or £650 per month, depending on the agreed research, content, local and technical scope. They include care and monitoring, subject to the platform access available. Hosting and external provider or placement costs are set out separately before work begins.
