With decades of experience, Ray’s is dedicated to ensuring vehicles operate smoothly and safely, offering specialized services in both general auto repair and intricate transmission work.

Objectives
Ray’s Transmissions sought to enhance their online presence to attract more local customers and drive business growth. Their primary goals were to increase website traffic, improve rankings in local search results, and boost the number of online appointments for their repair services.
Challenges
Entering a highly competitive local market posed significant challenges for Ray’s Transmissions. Despite their long-standing reputation, their online visibility was minimal due to the absence of prior SEO efforts. Additionally, the dual focus on general auto repair and specialized transmission services required a nuanced approach to target diverse customer needs effectively. Balancing consistent branding while addressing the specific search intents of potential customers added another layer of complexity to the SEO strategy.

To address these challenges and achieve Meineke’s objectives, Rank & Scale implemented a holistic SEO strategy.
The campaign began with extensive keyword research to identify terms highly relevant to Ray’s services, such as “transmission repair Neenah,” “auto repair services WI,” and “affordable transmission replacement.” Existing website content was meticulously optimized, incorporating these keywords into meta descriptions, headers, and throughout the site’s copy to enhance relevance and search engine friendliness. Technical SEO improvements, including enhancing website speed and ensuring mobile responsiveness, were also prioritized to provide a seamless user experience.
Given Ray’s strong local presence, optimizing for local search was crucial. Rank & Scale enhanced Ray’s Google My Business profile with accurate business information, high-quality images, and regular updates.

Additionally, strategies were developed to encourage satisfied customers to leave positive reviews, further boosting Ray’s online reputation
To increase domain authority and drive referral traffic, Rank & Scale focused on acquiring high-quality backlinks from authoritative automotive blogs, local business organizations, and industry-related websites. Guest posts and informative articles were published on these platforms, positioning Ray’s as an expert in both general auto repair and specialized transmission services
Engaging and informative content was key to attracting and retaining visitors. A dedicated blog was launched, featuring articles on vehicle maintenance tips, the importance of regular transmission checks, and insights into common auto repair issues. Service-specific pages were created and optimized for each of Ray’s offerings, providing detailed information and incorporating relevant keywords to address potential customers’ search queries effectively.
