When we started working with this Hyundai automotive client, it didn’t take long to spot some serious Local SEO red flags. Their online presence wasn’t just underwhelming—it was actively holding them back.
Their AI-generated blogs? A mess. Full of inaccuracies, missing structure, and lacking the strategic SEO optimization needed to rank. Their Google Business Profiles? Incomplete, outdated, and failing to make an impact in local search results. And their keyword rankings? Let’s just say they weren’t where they needed to be.
With Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) and AI-driven search results becoming more influential, it was clear this needed to be fixed—and fast. So, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work, rebuilding their Local SEO strategy from the ground up.
Our Approach: A Full SEO Overhaul
We focused on three core areas to transform their local SEO strategy:
✅ Content Cleanup & Optimization: We took their existing AI-generated blogs, proofread them for accuracy, and optimized them to better align with SEO best practices. No more messy, ineffective content—just high-quality, search-friendly articles.
✅ Google Business Profile Revamp: Missing details? We filled them in. Low-quality images? We upgraded them. Lack of updates? We implemented a regular posting schedule. The goal was to ensure every dealership’s profile was complete, accurate, and visually appealing.
✅ Keyword Research & Implementation: We conducted in-depth keyword research to identify the terms their potential customers were actually searching for. Then, we optimized their website content, meta descriptions, and tags to improve rankings for these high-value keywords.
The Results: A Dramatic SEO Transformation
The impact of these changes was immediate and undeniable. By grading their local SEO performance on key factors like profile completeness, accuracy, and search visibility, and then applying best practices to solve for those shortcomings, we saw a major shift:
🚀 Local SEO grade skyrocketed from a C to an A across all five Hyundai dealerships.
📈 Profile views increased by 11.39%—meaning more potential customers were finding them in local search.
📞 Phone calls jumped by 15.5%, leading to more direct customer inquiries.
🌐 Website visits surged by 20.29%, driving more traffic and potential conversions.
Why Local SEO Matters More Than Ever
A strong local SEO strategy isn’t just about getting found—it’s about being chosen. By improving their online visibility, credibility, and user experience, we helped these Hyundai dealerships stand out in a highly competitive market.
