The challenge

The shop already won “car wash” searches but was missing high-ticket service searches such as ceramic coating, headlight restoration and odor removal.

What Redux SEO did

  • Built service-specific content and profile services for each high-ticket offer
  • Published 58 profile posts and 4 videos showing before/after work
  • Replied to 71 reviews to lift engagement signals
  • Grew the backlink profile to support new service pages
