Building search visibility for a pre-purchase car inspection service
Pre-purchase vehicle inspection — a service most used-car buyers don't know exists until someone tells them, which makes it an awareness problem before it's a ranking problem.

Where they started
Demand for pre-purchase inspection is largely latent. Buyers search for the car, for how to avoid buying a lemon, for whether a specific model has known problems — not for 'pre-purchase inspection', because they haven't heard of it. Competing only for the service term meant competing for a small pool of already-aware searchers while ignoring the much larger group who need the service but don't know its name.
What we did
We built the content around the buyer's actual worry rather than the service name — what to check before buying used, common faults by make and model, what an inspection report covers and what it costs. That content captures the awareness-stage search and introduces the service as the answer. Location pages made coverage explicit, since inspection is inherently local, and booking was tied to vehicle details so the inspector arrives knowing what they're looking at.
