The Client
Stivers Ford Montgomery
Stivers Ford Montgomery partnered with SearchLab Digital with one mission: turn their underperforming website into a local lead engine.
While their site was averaging around 20,000 monthly sessions, that traffic wasn’t translating into leads. Their blog was overloaded with AI-generated content — thin, repetitive posts targeting random nearby cities — and the dealership wasn’t showing up in search results where it mattered most: Montgomery.
Despite being located in Montgomery, they were unintentionally diluting their relevance across multiple Alabama cities. Even their top-level pages were missing consistent geo-targeting. To top things off, their Google Business Profile wasn’t fully optimized, and reviews had gone unanswered for months.
The Challenge
Stivers Ford’s site was bloated with AI-generated content, confusing geo-targeting, and weak calls-to-action.
Their goals:
- Replace low-quality content with localized and helpful content
- Improve rankings for Montgomery-specific queries
- Increase form fills and phone calls from organic visitors
Our Approach
Our SEO team cleaned house and rebuilt with clarity:
- Removed AI blog spam and rebuilt a content strategy around real search intent
- Created high-converting pages focused on Montgomery shoppers, not generic keywords
- Rewrote homepage and internal CTAs for better user flow
- Updated and optimized the Google Business Profile (GBP)
- Partnered directly with the dealership team to drive conversions
