Act Bold Goals

SEO

We had to reach out to each individual toxic link and request it to be taken down. During our PBS link detox campaign, we ran into a big problem. One individual owned a variety of domains and replicated a massive amount of links with spammy anchor text pointed back to Performance Brokerage Services. His proposal was to pay him upward of $10,000 dollars to take down all the links. We hired a lawyer. He took down the links. The rest is history.

Digital Marketing

Phase 2 was to build a resource section to complement our SEO efforts. In this section we constantly updated the site with fresh content about selling car dealerships online, buying car dealership and other auto news. We built local citations and business relevant blogs pointing at the resource section to create a tipping point and push our targeted keyword to the first page of Google.
