Today's Tip

Strengthen your internal linking between high-intent pages.

Why it matters:

Many dealership websites have excellent model, service, financing, and trade-in pages, but they often exist in isolation. Internal links help search engines understand how your content is related while making it easier for shoppers to find relevant information.

For example, a "Trade-In Value" page should naturally link to financing options, current inventory, and your online appraisal tool.

Action Item:

Choose one high-traffic page this week and add 5–10 contextual internal links to other relevant pages that support the customer's buying journey.

Takeaway:

A stronger internal linking structure can improve crawlability, user experience, and the visibility of important pages over time.
 

✨ AI Highlights

Darren Stromain kicks off a Tuesday dealer search tip series with a focus on internal linking, arguing that most dealership websites have solid individual pages but fail to connect them strategically. The core advice is to pick one high-traffic page and add 5–10 contextual links to related pages — for example, linking a trade-in page to financing, inventory, and appraisal tools. The takeaway is that stronger internal linking improves crawlability, user experience, and page visibility.
