Your GBP drives more action than your website. Most dealers never optimize it. We do.
Schedule a Strategy CallAfter this, you know exactly how your profile stacks up against the top 3.
Score your profile against the top 3 dealers in your market.
After this, your profile stays sharp while competitors' go stale.
Reviews answered. Content fresh. Performance tracked monthly.
We pull every element of your current GBP and score it against the top 3 dealers in your map pack. Categories, attributes, photos, posts, Q&A, reviews — all of it.
For dealerships, that means comparing your profile completeness, review velocity, and posting cadence against the competitors who are currently getting your clicks.
You see exactly what it takes to move from position 5 to position 1.
Most dealership GBPs have the wrong primary category, missing attributes, and a business description written in 2019. Google uses all of these to decide map pack rankings.
We rewrite your description, correct every category and attribute, build out complete service listings for sales and service, and optimize every field Google offers.
A fully optimized profile tells Google exactly what your business is, what you sell, and who you serve.
Post frequency is one of the strongest signals Google uses to determine whether a GBP is active and trustworthy. Most dealerships post once a quarter. Their competitors post weekly.
We publish 4+ posts per month — featuring inventory highlights, service specials, team spotlights, and seasonal content — all designed to drive clicks and engagement.
Consistent posting keeps your profile algorithmically favored and visually fresh for every buyer who finds you.
Businesses with photos get 42% more direction requests. Most dealership GBPs have 12 photos from 2022 and zero videos.
We upload fresh photos of your lot, showroom, service department, and team on a regular cadence — plus video walkarounds and facility tours when available.
Visual freshness signals activity and professionalism to both Google's algorithm and the buyer scrolling through results.
Review response rate is a direct local ranking factor. Unanswered reviews — especially negative ones — signal neglect to both Google and potential buyers.
We build professional response templates for every scenario and establish a response cadence that shows Google and buyers your store is engaged.
Prompt, thoughtful responses to negative reviews convert skeptical browsers into customers. Silence does the opposite.
Your GBP Q&A section is public. Anyone can ask questions — and anyone can answer them, including competitors or unhappy customers.
We proactively seed the most common buyer questions with authoritative answers: financing options, service hours, trade-in process, test drive scheduling.
Controlled Q&A means buyers get the right answers immediately instead of bouncing to a competitor.
Most dealerships use 15-20% of what Google offers. We fill every field, every attribute, every category. Posts go up weekly. Photos go up monthly. Q&A is seeded and monitored.
No templates. No stock content. Weekly posts featuring your actual inventory, your service specials, and your team. Content that keeps Google's algorithm favoring your profile.
Dealer groups get each location managed independently with its own strategy. Consistent across the group, distinctive by market. No locations cannibalizing each other.
GBP improvements are the fastest signals in local SEO. Most dealers see doubled click volume within the first month. Direction requests follow within 60 days.

Yes. AI platforms pull GBP data for 62% of 'near me' query responses. When buyers ask ChatGPT or Google AI 'which dealer is open near me,' AI pulls structured data from GBP. Missing hours, incomplete service listings, or no recent reviews means AI cannot confidently recommend your store and recommends someone else.
