Auto Claim Consultants.
How a national auto insurance claims consultancy went from a standing start to 15,330 organic clicks and 1.5M impressions — with 3 keywords ranking at #1.
About the Client
Fighting for fair payouts on total loss and diminished value claims.
Auto Claim Consultants is a national consultancy that helps vehicle owners navigate the complex world of auto insurance claims — specialising in total loss valuations, diminished value disputes, and insurance company negotiations. Their clients are everyday drivers who feel short-changed by their insurer after an accident.
When they partnered with Auto Shop Digital, their website had minimal organic visibility. The challenge was clear: build authoritative content around high-intent insurance claim keywords and establish them as the go-to resource for consumers fighting back against low-ball settlements.
The Challenge
From zero organic presence to 3 keywords at #1 — in 17 months.
Auto insurance claim keywords are fiercely competitive. Major insurers, legal firms, and aggregators dominate the SERPs. Auto Shop Digital built a content moat around high-intent, long-tail queries — turning Auto Claim Consultants into the authoritative resource consumers trust when fighting a total loss dispute.
