SEO & AEO That Gets
Your Business Found First

Your customers are searching Google for the exact services you offer and increasingly, they’re also asking AI tools to recommend local businesses. If your business is not showing up on Google and being recommended by AI, your competitors are getting those bookings instead. We deliver SEO & AEO for automotive businesses that helps you rank locally, build visibility across search, and turn online searches into booked jobs.

⎯⎯ The problem

Your Competitors Are Above You on Google and AI Is Recommending Them Too

Most garages, MOT centres, bodyshops, tyre fitters and mobile mechanics were built on word of mouth and for a long time, that was enough. But things have changed.

Today, customers search online first. They Google things like “garage near me”, “MOT test [town]”, “mobile mechanic [area]” or “dent repair near me”. More and more, they also use tools like ChatGPT to recommend local businesses. If your business is not optimised for both, you are invisible to people actively looking for exactly what you do.

SEO & AEO for automotive businesses is about making sure Google and AI both understand what services you offer, where you operate, and why your business is the right option in your local area.

⎯⎯ What We Do

SEO & AEO That Covers Everything

Our SEO & AEO plans are built around the work that actually moves your visibility forward. We focus on the services you offer, the areas you serve, and the searches that bring in the right customers.

Google Maps Old

Local SEO & Google Maps

We optimise your website so you appear in local search results when someone searches for automotive services. That means location signals across your website, well-structured service and area pages, local citation work, and the on-page foundations that help Google understand exactly where you operate and what you do.

Google News

Google Business Profile Optimisation

Your Google Business Profile is the first thing people see before they even click onto your website. We set it up properly, optimise it around your services, keep the key information aligned with your website, and make sure it supports your local rankings rather than holding them back.

Web

On-Page SEO

We build dedicated pages for the services you offer and the places you want to rank, optimise titles, headings, meta descriptions, page copy, internal linking and service structure so your website targets the searches your customers are actually making.

Code

Technical SEO

We make sure your site is fast, mobile-friendly, technically clean and easy for search engines to crawl and understand. That includes things like site structure, indexing, page speed, mobile responsiveness, image optimisation and the technical foundations that help your site perform properly in search.

AI

AI Search Optimisation (AEO)

More people are now asking AI tools who to use locally instead of only clicking through traditional search results. Our AI Search Optimisation helps position your business to be recommended when people ask tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity for local services in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is automotive SEO?

Automotive SEO is the process of optimising your website and online presence so your business appears in Google search results when local customers search for services like MOTs, repairs, servicing, tyre fitting or bodywork. It covers things like on-page optimisation, local SEO, Google Business Profile work, content, and technical improvements.

What is AEO?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It is about helping your business show up in AI-driven search experiences — especially when people ask tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity who they should use locally. SEO gets you found on Google’s traditional search results, while AEO helps your business get recommended by those AI tools.

Why do automotive businesses need SEO now?

Because customers search online first. If your garage, MOT centre, bodyshop, tyre fitting business or mobile mechanic service does not appear when people search, those bookings go to competitors who do.

Why does AEO matter now?

Because search behaviour is changing. More people are starting to ask AI tools direct questions instead of only browsing blue links. That makes it increasingly important for your business to have a website and search presence that AI can understand, trust and recommend.

Which plans include AEO?

Growth and Pro include AI search optimisation. Starter includes managed SEO foundations, but not the AEO layer.

How long does SEO take to show results?

SEO is not instant, but it builds over time. Most businesses begin seeing movement before they see major gains, and the longer the work continues, the stronger and harder-to-displace those rankings become.

How do you report on results?

Starter and Growth include quarterly SEO reporting. Pro includes monthly reporting, along with analytics, tracking and ongoing updates.

Can I do SEO or AEO myself?

You can learn the basics, but effective local SEO takes consistent work, technical setup, content structure and ongoing refinement. AEO adds another layer on top of that. Most business owners are better off spending their time on the actual work while we handle the search side properly.
