Business: One of the largest online new car brokers on the internet
Client Background
Our client, a UK-based car broker specializes in offering cheap new car deals ensuring that its customers get the best new car deal possible. Our client is well experienced to customize the car leasing package to suit the needs of its clients and is also well equipped to deal with part exchanges. All new cars are available on contract hire, personal contract hire, personal contract purchase and standard hire purchase at competitive prices.
Business Need
Online car brokerage is increasingly competitive. The client needed to maintain high visibility in organic Google rankings to stay ahead of competitors. Our UK-based client wanted to increase qualified page traffic and sales through informed SEO techniques and link popularity measures while not allowing the marketing costs to skyrocket.
Challenge
When the car broker client initially turned to us for its online marketing and site promotions, their website was un-optimized and the keywords were not well targeted. The online car broker website had no off-site presence. Social Media Marketing tactics like Article or Blog Marketing, Social Bookmarking or Forum Postings were completely missing. Tough competition for car websites in UK posed a tremendous challenge in itself. Moreover, popular keywords or key phrases associated with cars are highly competitive and getting them rank higher is an uphill task.
Solution
To make its online marketing optimally efficient, The UK-based client partnered with SunTec India. We conducted a comprehensive keyword analysis and research focusing on keyword effectiveness index [KEI] to precisely measure the Keyword competitiveness for our target keywords and key phrases pertaining to the online car brokerage business. The backlinks and instances of the website were reviewed. Our other On-Page Optimization tactics included title optimization; Meta tags optimization, important html tags optimization, keywords optimization, link optimization, image optimization, etc.
To further boost and complement our On-Page efforts with Off-Page promotions, we launched an aggressive link building campaign. We also submitted the client’s website link to social bookmarking sites that are indexed and attributed ‘Do Follow’. We made quality Directory Submissions. We submitted the UK Car Broker website to human edited directory like dmoz which necessitates focused attention and persistent action to get approval. We also posted articles and blog comments to enable our clients with great visitor inflow to boost their link popularity.
Additionally, we keep a close watch and frequently review the Keyword rankings to make necessary amendments and thereby maintain the competitive edge.
