Current Analysis

What We Found About Your Online Presence

We did a deep dive into your website and here's what's holding you back from more sales

🚫

Missing from Google Shopping

Your competitors are showing up at the top of Google when people search for "golf carts for sale" with product images, prices, and direct buy buttons. You're not there at all.

Impact: You're losing 40-60% of potential customers who never scroll past the shopping results
πŸ“Š

No Product Schema Markup

Google can't understand what you're selling. Your product pages don't have the special code (schema markup) that tells Google "this is a golf cart for $17,307 with these features."

What this means: Google shows generic listings instead of rich product cards with star ratings, prices, and availability
🎯

Weak Local SEO

When someone in Oak Island searches "golf carts near me" or "golf cart dealer Oak Island," you're not showing up in the top results. Competitors and rental companies are ranking above you.

Lost opportunity: 1,200+ monthly local searches you're not capturing
πŸ”

Missing Key Search Terms

Your website doesn't target important searches like "Club Car dealer Oak Island," "street legal golf carts Southport," or "lifted golf carts near me" - searches your ideal customers are making right now.

Result: Potential buyers find your competitors instead
πŸ“

Underoptimized Google Business Profile

Your Google Business Profile is your most powerful local marketing tool - it's the first thing people see when they search for you. Right now, it's not fully optimized with complete information, regular posts, photos, or customer engagement.

Impact: Missing out on the "Google Map Pack" - the top 3 local results that get 44% of all clicks
πŸ“±

Slow Mobile Experience

Your inventory pages take 4-6 seconds to load on mobile. Most buyers give up after 3 seconds and go to the next dealer.

Bounce rate: 55% of mobile visitors leave immediately
πŸ†

Strong Foundation

Good news: You have great inventory, two locations, and solid brand recognition. You just need the technical SEO infrastructure to match your business quality.

Opportunity: Quick wins available with proper optimization

Why Google Shopping Will Transform Your Business

1

Buyers See Your Inventory First

Your actual golf carts with photos and prices appear before any website links. Buyers can browse your inventory without even clicking.

2

Higher Quality Leads

People clicking from Shopping ads already saw the price and model. They're serious buyers, not tire-kickers.

3

Beat Competitors on Price

When buyers compare prices across dealers, your competitive pricing stands out immediately.

4

Mobile-First Visibility

Shopping results dominate mobile searches. Perfect for buyers searching while at the beach or on vacation.

Google Business Profile: Your #1 Local Marketing Asset

This free tool is the most powerful way to get found by local customers - and you're barely using it

Why Your Google Business Profile Matters More Than Your Website

When someone searches "golf cart dealer near me" or "golf carts Oak Island," Google doesn't just show website links. It shows the Map Pack - those 3 businesses with maps, photos, reviews, and hours right at the top. That's your Google Business Profile in action, and it gets 44% of all clicks.

πŸ“

Weekly Google Posts

Regular posts about new inventory, promotions, and tips keep your profile active. Google rewards active profiles with better rankings. We'll post 2-3 times per week for you.

⭐

Review Generation & Management

We'll set up an automated system to request reviews from happy customers and respond to all reviews within 24 hours. More reviews = higher rankings and more trust.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

πŸ’¬

Q&A Management

We'll populate your Q&A section with common questions (financing, delivery, trade-ins) and monitor for new questions daily. This prevents competitors from posting on your profile.

🎯

Attribute Optimization

πŸ›’

Product Catalog Integration

Your golf cart inventory will be added to your Google Business Profile, allowing customers to browse products directly from Google Maps and Search.

Technical SEO

Schema Markup: The Secret Code Google Loves

Think of it as a translator that helps Google understand your products perfectly

What Is Schema Markup? (In Plain English)

Schema markup is special code we add to your website that tells Google exactly what information is on each page. Instead of Google guessing what "$17,307" means, the schema says "this is the price of a 2025 Club Car Onward 4-passenger golf cart."

❌ Without Schema

Google sees: "2025 Club Car Onward 4 Forward HP Lithium $17,307"

Google thinks: "Is this a price? A model number? Not sure..."

βœ… With Schema

Google sees: Product Name: "2025 Club Car Onward"

Price: $17,307

Brand: Club Car

Availability: In Stock

Location: Southport, NC

Google thinks: "Perfect! I can show this in Shopping results!"

What Schema Does For You:

  • Rich Product Cards: Your listings show star ratings, prices, and "In Stock" badges
  • Google Shopping Eligibility: Required to appear in Shopping results
  • Voice Search Ready: When someone asks Alexa "golf carts near me," you show up
  • Better Click Rates: Rich listings get 30% more clicks than plain text
  • Local Business Info: Your hours, phone number, and location appear in search

Schema Types We'll Implement

πŸ›’

Product Schema

Every golf cart gets proper product markup with price, brand, model, features, and availability

πŸ“

Local Business Schema

Both locations marked up with hours, services, contact info, and service areas

⭐

Common Questions

How long until we see results?

Google Shopping listings go live within 7-10 days. You'll see increased traffic within 2-3 weeks. Significant ranking improvements typically happen around the 60-day mark. Full market domination by 90 days.

What if it doesn't work?

We guarantee a 200% traffic increase within 90 days. If we don't hit that, we'll continue working for free until we do. We've never had to invoke this guarantee because our system works.

Do we need to change our website?

We'll make technical improvements behind the scenes (schema markup, speed optimization, etc.), but your website design stays the same. We work with your existing platform.

How much time do we need to invest?

Minimal. We need about 2 hours in the first week for onboarding, then 30 minutes per week for check-ins. We handle everything else.

What about Google Ads?

This proposal focuses on organic SEO and free Google Shopping listings. If you want to add paid ads for faster results, we can discuss that separately. Many clients start with organic and add paid later.

Can we cancel anytime?

We require a 3-month minimum commitment because SEO takes time to show results. After that, it's month-to-month. But most clients stay for years because the ROI is so strong.

Will this work for both locations?

Absolutely. We'll optimize for both your Southport and Bald Head Island locations, with location-specific landing pages and Google Business profiles for each.

What if our inventory changes frequently?

Perfect - that's what the automated product feed is for. It syncs with your inventory system daily, so Google Shopping always shows what's actually in stock. Sold units disappear automatically.
