About the Company


Carfax is an American company that supplies consumers with vehicle history reports. It deals with history reports of cars and light trucks. They are a web-based service provider. Our client has an extensive database of vehicle history. People can buy these reports to check if a seller is legit before making a purchase.
Our client is one of the most trusted companies in the US and Canada for vehicle history reports. The reports contain details such as past owners, damages, thefts, readings, and more. Their vehicle reports help thousands of people in making a wise purchase decision. Our client also sells used cars on their website, along with vehicle history reports.

The Challenge We faced


This vehicle's history provider does almost all its business online. Their website is the face of the company. People from all over the country can search for used cars and history reports for their town or city.
The company wanted to target local searches seeking vehicle history reports. The aim was to grow their business through an increase in organic traffic. The company knew it was popular with customers and had a good reputation. They wanted to leverage this to generate more local leads.
The challenge we faced was developing a strategy that boosted local SEO and brought qualified traffic to the site. The current site traffic was inconsistent and not delivering desired results. We audited the site and identify areas that needed work. We had committed results to them and had to get up to speed quickly.
