How it works

01

Expand

After this, your site answers more questions than any competitor's.

Deep content across every model. AI platforms start citing you.

What’s included

Plan

Content gaps mapped. 12-month calendar built by lead potential.

Publish

After this, new content goes live every week — built to rank.

Model pages and comparison guides built to rank and convert.

Compound

After this, last month's content is still driving this month's leads.

Consistent publishing. Top content refreshed. Authority compounds.

Content Audit & Strategy

We inventory every page on your site, score it against competitors in your market, and identify every content gap that's costing you traffic and AI citations.

For dealerships, that means mapping your model coverage, city page footprint, and comparison content against the stores that currently outrank you.

You get a 12-month editorial calendar prioritized by lead impact — not publishing volume.

  • Full content inventory
  • Competitor content gap analysis
  • 12-month editorial calendar
  • Priority topic clusters

Model Landing Pages

Your platform's auto-generated model pages are thin, duplicated, and identical to every other dealer on the same provider. Google sees them and ranks someone else.

We build pages with unique trim-level content, buyer-intent keywords, and Vehicle schema that surfaces pricing and availability directly in search results.

Every model page targets trim-level buyer intent with Vehicle schema — built to compete on page one, not to fill a template.

  • Every model in your lineup
  • Trim-level breakdowns
  • Vehicle schema markup
  • Buyer-intent keyword targeting

Comparison & Buying Guides

Before a buyer steps on your lot, they search 'CR-V vs RAV4,' 'best SUVs under $35K,' and 'lease vs buy.' These are the highest-intent queries in automotive.

We publish comparison articles and buying guides that answer these exact questions — positioning your store as the authority before the buyer narrows their shortlist.

Every piece is structured for AI citation. When ChatGPT answers a comparison query, your content is what it pulls from.

  • Model vs. model comparisons
  • Best-of category guides
  • Lease vs. buy breakdowns
  • AI-optimized structure

City & Market Pages

A buyer 25 miles away searching 'Honda dealer in [their city]' needs a page optimized for that city. Without one, a closer competitor takes the lead.

We build geo-targeted pages for every city and zip code in your DMA with real local content — not templates with the city name swapped in.

Each page targets the local keywords your buyers use and builds the geo-relevance signals Google rewards in local rankings.

  • Every city in your DMA
  • Unique localized content
  • Local keyword targeting
  • Internal link structure

AI-Optimized Content Structure

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity don't cite random content. They cite pages with clear answers, proper heading hierarchy, and passage-level optimization.

Every article we write follows a structure designed for AI citation: direct answer in the first paragraph, entity references throughout, and FAQ schema at the bottom.

68% of client content we track gets cited by AI platforms — measured across 800 queries at 8 dealerships, July 2026. That number compounds as your content library grows.

  • Passage-level optimization
  • Entity reference mapping
  • FAQ schema per article
  • AI citation tracking

Content Performance Tracking

Every article is tracked in GA4 — rankings, traffic, engagement time, and lead attribution. We know which pages convert and which ones need work.

Pages that drive leads get expanded with related content. Pages that underperform get rewritten or consolidated.

No autopilot. No set-and-forget. Active management every month.

  • Per-article GA4 tracking
  • Lead attribution by content
  • Monthly performance report
  • Content refresh recommendations

Built to Hit Page One

Model landing pages built around buyer search data instead of guesswork — trim-level content, Vehicle schema, and real intent targeting.

A comparison page that ranks drives free traffic for the entire model year. After the initial investment, the CPL on content-driven leads is zero. PPC can't say that.

Common questions

How much does content marketing cost for a dealership?

Content marketing is included in AutomotiveSEO plans starting at $2,995 per month. No setup fees, no long-term contracts. That gets you 4-8 pieces per month: model landing pages, blog posts, city pages, and comparison articles. All written by in-house automotive specialists, optimized for Google rankings and AI citation.

How long does content marketing take to see results?

Model landing pages and city pages often rank within 30-60 days. Blog and comparison content builds more slowly but compounds faster. By month 6, you see meaningful traffic and AI citations from the earliest pieces. Our clients see 3x lead volume growth by month 12 as content authority accumulates across Google and AI platforms.
