I may have posted something similar to this in the past, but I am unsure. Excuse me if I have and appear a dolt. My frustrations with OEM-approved SEO are building.

I'm just wondering if anyone here has an example of a good or even great local landing page for a dealership. I'm looking for something that serves customers NOT search engines.

This will be used as an example in an attempt to shift focus AWAY from geo stuffing. I have been fighting this fight for a while and I am starting to wonder if there's even a value here. I understand and accept that Google treats automotive differently than some other verticles. They are far more forgiving when it comes to thin or duplicate content etc etc. Is it the same with Geo stuffing? Are we truly serving our customers the best experience with pages literally built JUST to rank? I've been in SEO for nearly a decade now and geo stuffing goes against every SEO fiber in my body - yet it seems to be industry standard, which truly baffles me.

How does buying a chevy in portland at our portland chevy dealership near Yarmouth help customers in south portland with any service needs they might have for their Chevrolet Avalon in the freeport area?

Am I alone? Overthinking? Should I just get back to the grind and shut up? Can GOOD local SEO be done for car dealerships or is it just about proximity when searching?
