Open Roads RV
SEo case study
INTRODUCTION
Open Roads Complete RV approached PCG because they needed assistance optimizing not only their website, but their Google Business Profiles. Their website harbors both the Acworth and Jasper RV dealerships, so making sure to structure content specific to each will be important.
SEO & Website Issues
Inconsistent SEO across the site
- Meta titles need to be around 60 characters
- Meta descriptions need to be around 160 characters
- Match URL Slugs with Page Title or content being discussed
- Add proper automotive related keywords to each page to help ranking
- Eliminate duplicate content
- Eliminate broken links
- Differentiate between Acworth and Jasper locations and link out to their respective pages when creating content
2 Underperforming Google Business Profiles:
There was a lack of optimized content across both the Acworth and Jasper Google Business Profiles
After approval, we optimized each description, added 10 categories to each, and implemented UTM tags for the website & menu to help track data
- Both Google Business Profiles were optimized with detailed descriptions, relevant categories, and geo-targeted keywords. These optimizations made it easier for local customers to discover Open Road RVs’ offerings through Google Search and Maps.
- This also helped lessen any confusion a customer might have when searching between both the Acworth and Jasper locations
By optimizing the two Google Business Profiles, PCG Digital significantly increased Open Road RVs’ visibility in local search results. This led to an uptick in interactions, including phone calls, direction requests, and website visits, directly from the Google Business Profile listings.

Enhancing Site Structure & User Experience:
Implemented a strategic interlinking approach to improve site navigation and distribute page authority throughout the website.
- This not only helped in lowering bounce rates but also in increasing the time spent by visitors on the site.. thus increasing views & engagement rates for each page.
- By linking related content and pages internally, we improved the user journey, making it easier for visitors to find relevant information and for search engines to understand the site’s structure.
- This strategic interlinking significantly contributed to better organic search visibility and user engagement.
Content Strategy Development:
The content team & SEO created a content calendar focusing on optimized blog posts, custom pages, and vehicle trim comparisons.
We also enhanced content by adding searched keywords and phrases that were coming into the website often each month.
- We incorporated local geo-targeted keywords into Google Business Profile, website content, metadata, and blog posts, focusing on areas such as Acworth, Jasper, Marietta, Atlanta, and Cartersville. This ensured that search queries with local intent would direct users to Open Roads RVs’ website.
- With improved local SEO, Open Roads RV experienced an increase in website traffic from local searches. More importantly, this specific traffic was highly relevant, leading to higher engagement rates and conversions from inquiries to dealership visits and sales.
