-OVERVIEW

THE FULL PICTURE.

Corsair Detail was generating leads — but almost entirely through expensive paid advertising. Rising cost-per-click and algorithm volatility made that model increasingly unsustainable. 


Their organic visibility was low, their website wasn't built for conversion, and they were competing against Nashville's larger automotive chains without the SEO foundation to win organically. 


We rebuilt their website and implemented a comprehensive local SEO strategy that generated 805 leads, grew organic traffic by 48%, and dramatically reduced their dependency on paid platforms.
