Holistic SEO strategy achieves KPIs in 6 months

Nationwide automotive retailer Stellantis &You UK (Previously known as Robins and Day) had a new website to launch following a recent rebrand which saw them become a Peugeot, DS, Citroen and Vauxhall dealer group.

The brief

The objective was clear: enhance the online presence and rankings of leading automotive brands 'Peugeot', 'Citroen', and 'DS'. IDHL initiated a strategic SEO campaign aimed at achieving ambitious targets.

Our approach focussed on increasing the average ranking of tracked phrases, expanding keyword coverage to over 10,000 phrases, and maintaining an average rank of 30 or below across targeted keywords. Additionally, our goal was to secure 450 keyword phrases in the top 3 positions while driving year-over-year organic traffic growth.

The solution

Our holistic, long-term SEO strategy hit many of the KPIs within just 6 months and covered:
