Dealer blogging 101 - Writing automotive content for car dealer sites. SEO focused content will drive traffic. Landing pages will generate leads.

Content is King. Getting a blog is priority #1 for dealers right now. If it wasn’t in the budget for 2009, it might be worth giving it a shot in 2010.

Good blogging and SEO means drilling down to the core. Long winded paragraphs are skipped, people want information fast. In a matter of seconds, eyes scan a page. If SEO is of interest to them, only talk about SEO. Don’t stray off topic, stick to a simple message, provide quick value and they’ll be back.

But there is a prerequisite for a blog, the content strategy. Nobody wants to see the last post was from August of 2009 when its November. You can hire TuneyFish as your Content Provider , we’ll turbocharge your blog and get you off to a great start.

Automotive SEO [Automotive search engine optimization] is critical for automotive dealership websites to drive search traffic via SEO strategies. Auto Dealer SEO via content publishing drives leads through search.

Developing content with best SEO practices takes time to produce results. Our SEO service consists of custom written articles that are search engine friendly content with keywords specific to your region and inventory.

TuneyFish provides strong SEO driven content for automotive dealers. A client of ours, a local Seattle company called Fresh Input had identified a need that was currently unmet for their customer base. The dealers needed fresh content, so Jason Tracy, owner of Fresh Input reached out to see if there was a way to work together. It turns out that this could be a great opportunity to help provide services so dealers can gain that competitive edge.

I was immediately interested in this simply because producing and writing SEO optimized content is very time consuming and typically will become less of a priority within a company unless there is a systematic approach.
