An automobile dealership attracted 76.7% more website visitors without spending money on ads.

How?

The dealership launched one authority-driven campaign each month to strengthen visibility and reach.

Auto Dealers Face Tough Competition in the Growing US Automotive Industry Worth $104.1B in 2023

The promoted car dealership is located about 50 miles outside Oklahoma City. It offers new and used Subaru cars and SUVs, along with services such as financing, leasing, repairs, maintenance, and genuine Subaru parts and accessories.

With global vehicle sales expected to rise by 5.1% in 2023 and 3.3% in 2024, the dealership needed a way to set its products and services apart while remaining appealing and relevant to customers.

At the same time, with the U.S. automotive manufacturing market valued at $104.1 billion in 2023, it was essential for car sellers to improve their online presence and attract more visitors to their website.

The Oklahoma Auto Dealer Increased Organic Traffic by 76.7%:

From 250 to 22,000 Visitors with Dominate’s Authority-Driven Content Plan

The dealership partnered with Dominate Organic Search™ to grow website traffic and strengthen brand visibility using the Digital Dominate Protocol™ — a proprietary system focused on authority-building through strategic content distribution and trusted media placement.

The Dominate campaigns promoted the dealership across Oklahoma, including Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Norman, Mustang, Moore, Midwest City, and Edmond.

The campaigns targeted customers interested in buying or leasing Subaru vehicles, as well as those searching for repairs, maintenance services, and genuine replacement parts.

By December 2022, the dealership’s website was receiving 3,468 visitors per month, a 76.7% increase from July 2021, when monthly traffic averaged 1,449 visitors.

This reflected a steady rise in organic traffic from search engines such as Google, measured consistently from July 2021 through December 2022.

According to SEMrush:

• July 2021: 1,449 organic visitors per month

• November 2022: 2,559 organic visitors per month

• December 2022: 3,468 organic visitors per month

Here is what Greg Melancon shared about the results:

“When I took over, Heidelberg Nissan had recently been hit with a penalty and was only seeing around 250 visits in Google Analytics. After running consistent campaigns, we reached about 22,000 visits within a year to a year and a half.”

Maintaining consistency in authority-based content marketing is essential for long-term success, as it builds audience trust and positions a brand as a dependable source of information.

Website traffic declined after December 2022 only because the campaigns were discontinued following the dealership’s acquisition by another company.

Dominate Organic Search™ uses trusted brands and media outlets to amplify a company’s message and place it in front of a larger, more relevant audience. This helps increase brand recognition and overall awareness.

Dominate Organic Search™ is an authority-building platform that helps businesses improve credibility by producing well-researched content and distributing it across news sites, influential blogs, podcasts, and other trusted media channels.

This increased visibility helped more people become aware of the dealership, its services, and its brand.
