The Challenge

New Wave Auto Brokers & Sales was operating with a severely under-optimized digital presence:

  • Homepage & Core Pages: Poorly structured and lacked keyword targeting for high-intent searches like first time car buyers, used cars for sale near me, and used car dealerships Denver
  • Missing Content Infrastructure: No blog, no service pages aligned with top search terms, and widespread 404 errors throughout the site
  • Local SEO Gaps: Weak GMB optimization despite being in a highly competitive market for terms like car dealerships near me and used cars Denver
  • Technical SEO Issues: Duplicate and missing H1s, multiple H1s per page, broken internal links, orphan pages, and poor Core Web Vitals—all negatively affecting visibility and crawlability
  • Crawl Budget Waste: Sitemap included noindex pages and wasn’t even referenced in robots.txt
  • No Structured Content Strategy: No targeting of key audience segments such as first time car buyers with no credit or good credit car financing, despite their high GMB search volume

In short: Their website was hard to find, difficult to navigate, and invisible for high-converting search terms—costing them leads every single day.

The Solution

We launched a full-stack SEO overhaul to rebuild New Wave’s online visibility from the ground up:

  • Homepage Optimization
    • Rewrote copy with high-intent keywords like used cars Denver, first time car buyer, and used car dealerships near me
    • Improved UX and internal linking to reduce bounce and improve engagement
  • Service Page Development
    • Built and optimized pages targeting key search intents:
    – First time car buyers with no credit
    – Good credit car financing
    – Used cars for sale near me
    • Included schema markup, CTAs, and unique content for each offer
  • Location SEO Strategy
    • Created location-based service pages for Denver and surrounding areas
    • Aligned content with GMB search terms like car dealerships Denver and auto brokers
  • Technical SEO Fixes
    • Addressed duplicate/missing/multiple H1 tags and broken internal links
    • Cleaned sitemap, added it to robots.txt, and resolved orphan page issues
    • Improved Core Web Vitals performance in both mobile and desktop
  • Content Foundation
    • Launched blog framework to support long-tail keywords and seasonal content
    • Topics focused on financing tips, vehicle maintenance, and buying guides

With foundational fixes, new content, and technical clean-up, we rebuilt their entire SEO ecosystem for long-term growth.

The Results

Despite the site’s poor initial state — with major SEO errors, broken internal links, unreferenced sitemaps, missing and duplicate H1s, and nonexistent service or blog pages — we rolled out foundational fixes and a clear content strategy.

Within the first 30 days:

  • Fixed 100+ on-site issues, including sitemap errors, 404s, duplicate metadata, and Core Web Vitals
  • Added primary service pages targeting "used cars Denver", "first-time buyer car loans", and related GMB keywords
  • Implemented a full content revamp for the homepage to support higher-priority terms and user flow
  • Set up proper schema, single-H1 structure, and robots.txt best practices
  • Improved internal linking, indexed orphan pages, and eliminated broken internal links

Early Impact (Month 1):

  • +26% organic impressions
  • +19% organic clicks
  • Key pages like “used cars Denver” and “first time car buyer no credit” are now ranking on page 2 and climbing
  • Technical health score improved from 63% to 91%

We're now preparing blog content and additional location pages to build on this initial momentum and capture long-tail searches.
