Rockingham Holden
THE CLIENT
THE CHALLENGE
Rockingham Holden had almost zero local search presence even though you can’t miss it when you physically drive through the area! Furthermore when you looked on Google Maps or did a Google search for terms like “car dealer Rockingham”, they didn’t appear until page 3. Their own website was built on a template mandated by Holden itself which has limited flexibility for a successful SEO campaign.
Compounding the problem was an unfocused social media strategy. Once again, what the dealership could do within its social media pages was tightly governed by the Holden’s corporate policies. However, Rockingham Holden knew it wasn’t performing as well as it should be and asked Mash Media to create a strategy to lift their presence online.
OUR APPROACH

- Update the local widgets on the website
- Content updates to improve local search relevant for main pages
- Add JSON LD script on the homepage to strengthen the local and general information about the dealership
- Google My Business listing optimised and weekly posts

THE RESULTS

From its former position buried on page 3, Rockingham Holden now dominates the Google local 3 pack results – holding position #1 for a wide range of local searches
Social Results:
On the social side, Rockingham Holden is now enjoying their Social Media growth, building a solid community and improving sales. One of the key goals was to prompt specific sales such as their famous 4 day EOFY sale. To do this it needed social media management that could access Holden’s marketing systems and track sales through the ClickFunnels platform. This would allow Mash to trace a customer’s path from online search to the dealership door. To be effective, Mash learned all the client’s systems, (including CRM and the proprietary Holden Dealer Marketing Toolbox platform), the corporate press kit, pre-marketing approval (PMA) processes and more. The social media plan we created carefully deployed the client’s budget for maximum impact and included the roll out 46 Facebook paid campaigns to support ongoing promotions.
