trade vet 703 Posted December 2, 2018 Our award winning Dealer Management System company who built our site and who are good in general have cocked up and we have been locked out of the Google search engine since we launched.They unfortunateley failed to understand the importance of our home page which is dedicated to buying in stock.They are doing their best to rectify things but I am not entirely confident.I have spoken to one local SEO company who claim they can do wonderfull things for £500 per month.However in the small print of their contract it states they cannot guarantee any results which they claim are normal terms in their industry.Considering we are starting from zero,you can imagine I have reacted negatively to their terms of business. Can any of you guys give me any advice or recommend any reliable people who can deliver a SEO service for cheaper money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grant8064 219 Posted December 2, 2018 We're with Clickdealer. Were nowhere to be seen online previously, since changing we're #1 to #3 for most search terms in the local area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrV 66 Posted December 2, 2018 Trade vet, can you name the £500 PM company? Did they specify what's included for the £500 ie Google optimisation/site optimisation/image optimisation etc etc? Although I'm famous for being a useless newcomer to this forum I actually know a fair bit about SEO so I may be able to help if you need it, I'm at shrimpwebdesign.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see your people are also charging £500p/m ,so why bother selling cars Mr V. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You haven’t got to do it every month if you don’t want. You can bang in a six month campaign maybe and see how you go? It certainly has worked for us, and I notice an equiry /click to/through drop off when we’ve paused it It’s a long game though, and it will take time to build your brand as I you know you will be aware. Website is important,but getting people to your website is the hard bit, and I would say- more important bit. They will push search result phrases for you as required. e.g. ‘sell my car/buy my car’etc. as well as tell you what is being searched for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
