Interesting pattern in automotive search:

Not all dealership keywords have the same intent.

Example:

“Kia Sportage specs” vs “Kia Sportage lease Toronto”

One is research intent.
The other is much closer to conversion intent.

A lot of dealership SEO opportunities come from targeting the searches tied directly to:

• lease intent
• financing intent
• inventory intent
• local availability

Search volume matters.
But search intent matters even more.
