Last year, a Pennsylvania auto mechanic turned to LinkNow to resolve serious issues undermining their digital presence and business growth. Facing outdated online listings, a poorly performing website, and scattered marketing efforts, the shop needed a partner to streamline its digital strategy and attract more local customers.
In this case study, we examine how we accelerated their online growth and helped establish them as local leaders in auto services.
Citation Conflicts
By the time this client approached us in mid-2024, they had accumulated various online listings and citations, many of which contained outdated or incorrect information. These discrepancies confused potential customers and search engines. The result was a weakened local search presence that caused them to lose valuable leads to competitors who had more accurate and consistent online information.
Outdated and Unoptimized Website
The shop’s existing website was severely outdated, lacked responsiveness for mobile devices, and did not clearly communicate their services or value proposition. Additionally, the website was poorly optimized for search engines, resulting in low visibility and rankings. The outdated design and lack of modern security features contributed to high bounce rates and lost opportunities.
Lack of a Clear Marketing Strategy
Previously, the business had experimented sporadically with various marketing tactics but failed to establish a clear strategy or measurable goals. Their efforts were largely reactive rather than proactive, leading to inefficient use of resources and limited return on investment. Without targeted advertising or a clear plan to cultivate organic traffic, they consistently struggled to grow their customer base.
Creating a Modern Website
We started by developing a modern, fully responsive website optimized for mobile and desktop users. The new site clearly communicated the shop’s services, emphasized their unique strengths and was fine -tuned for speed and usability. Our enhanced SEO practices were also integrated into the website structure to improve visibility and search rankings.
Citation Audit and Cleanup
We performed a comprehensive audit to identify and correct all inconsistent or incorrect citations. This cleanup ensured that the client’s business information was uniform across all major platforms, significantly enhancing their local search authority and visibility. By resolving these issues, we strengthened their overall online presence and trustworthiness with search engines.
Social Media Ads
To generate immediate interest and build a foundation of website traffic, we launched a targeted social media ad campaign on Facebook. This allowed us to quickly engage the local community and attract new customers with compelling offers and timely promotions. This strategic use of paid ads helped drive instant results, providing the client with new leads and bookings almost immediately.
Targeted Keyword Research
This client wanted us to emphasize their proficiency in brake services, so we conducted extensive keyword research focusing specifically on brake-related searches. By optimizing the website and content around these targeted keywords, we successfully positioned them as a leading local expert in this service area, leveraging their existing strengths to drive organic growth and improve their search rankings.
Immediate Traffic and Engagement
The Facebook ad campaign delivered immediate and notable increases in website traffic and customer engagement. These paid ads quickly generated new leads and bookings, providing immediate business growth while our organic strategies revved up.
Improved Citation Accuracy
Through our meticulous citation audit and cleanup efforts, the client’s business information became consistent and accurate across the web. Customers and search engines clearly recognized the business’s name, address, and phone number, greatly enhancing local visibility and reliability. This clarity translated directly into increased trust and customer acquisition.
Enhanced Organic Rankings
Our targeted keyword research and bolstered content strategy significantly improved the client’s visibility in competitive searches. The company rapidly climbed search engine rankings, eventually reaching the top spot for competitive searches like “brake repair,” “brake replacement,” and “brake service.” By securing these top positions online, they were soon the go-to local provider for these critical services.
