The value of your automotive dealership’s website is measured by the amount of visitors you receive and how many of those potential car buyers turn into leads. Without proper Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques, management, and evaluation, your site may not deliver the numbers you are hoping for.
According to Hubspot, “66% of marketers say improving SEO and growing their organic presence is their top inbound marketing priority.”
