Why Local SEO is the Lifeline for Auto Dealerships in 2025
With 73% of Indian car buyers using location-based searches like “best SUV dealership near me” (Statista, 2025), local SEO has become the critical battleground for automotive dealerships. Yet, 68% of dealerships struggle to appear in the local 3-pack—the golden trio of Google Maps results that drive 80% of in-store traffic (BrightLocal, 2025). At RankserviceMarketing, we specialize in transforming generic dealership websites into hyper-local authority hubs, driving measurable results across India’s booming automotive market.
