The automotive industry is a notoriously tough nut to crack when it comes to SEO. High competition and a unique set of challenges make it a demanding landscape.
MRS Digital is an SEO agency with a proven track record of success in the automotive industry. Our partnership with Keith Michaels exemplifies this success, spanning over a decade – a rarity in an industry where most relationships fizzle out after a few years.
Fresh off a record-breaking seven industry awards in 2023, MRS Digital has been shortlisted again! This time, we’re in the running for the prestigious 2024 European Search Awards in the Automotive (Large) category, all thanks to the impressive SEO results we’ve achieved for Keith Michaels.
Dive deeper into how MRS Digital continues to cultivate and maintain this successful, long-term partnership with Keith Michaels.
How Did We Do It?
Keith Michaels is one of our oldest customers and their SEO success is a testament to close working relationships and open communication. Keith Michaels never failed to back our judgment, trusted our recommendations, and allowed us to experiment with a host of smart techniques. As SEO evolved, so did our approach, and success quickly followed.
Highlights include:

Keith Michaels trust us implicitly, and I think that close relationship is what has led to such incredible achievements. We have experienced some big challenges in the course of SEO for Keith Michaels, but have always managed to work through them – not an easy feat in the world of automotive.”

Ryan Hill, MRS Head of Client Success, said:
“As one of the first accounts I managed when I joined MRS, it’s gratifying for both myself and the MRS team to see that our great work is being recognised on the European stage. In a world now mostly dominated by comparison sites and insurance behemoths, Keith Michaels continue to jostle in the top positions thanks to our expert digital marketing delivery and brilliant relationship. This ultimately allows us to operate with the creative and technical freedom needed to deliver exceptional SEO success.”
Keith Michaels paid tribute to the success we’ve delivered through SEO, saying:
“After 9 years, the team continues to deliver. I know that Ryan and the team understand my business inside out and with that the challenges of positioning it in a crowded market. I’m looking at closing the year as by far the best one to date for my business – in large part thanks to MRS.”
