Anup Srivastava works with automotive on international SEO, focusing on the questions car buyers, fleet managers and owners looking for dealers, service centres and parts actually ask.

The automotive buying journey
The people you need to reach are car buyers, fleet managers and owners looking for dealers, service centres and parts.
Heavy research and comparison online, then local dealer or workshop choice based on reviews and availability. Prices, offers and specifications change often; keep them dated and accurate.
| Buyer question | Content that wins it |
|---|---|
| best SUV under a budget for families | Clear steps and pricing factors |
| car service centre near me | Clear steps and pricing factors |
| EV vs petrol running costs | Comparison table and criteria |
| genuine spare parts for my car | Expert explanation with sources |
Content that tends to earn visibility in this sector: model comparison pages, service and parts pages, location pages for showrooms and workshops, ownership cost guides. Success is measured in test drive bookings, service bookings and calls.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have experience with automotive?
The approach is tailored to how car buyers, fleet managers and owners looking for dealers, service centres and parts research and decide: heavy research and comparison online, then local dealer or workshop choice based on reviews and availability. Specific examples and references can be discussed on a call.
Should I use a separate domain for each country?
It depends on budget, brand and team. Subfolders are usually the efficient default; ccTLDs suit businesses with strong local operations.
Do I need local search engines?
Only in specific markets: Baidu for China, Naver for South Korea, Yandex for Russian-speaking markets. Elsewhere Google dominates.
Is machine translation enough?
Rarely for important pages. It is a useful first draft, but native review is needed for accuracy, tone and local search terms.
Can you work across time zones?
Yes. I work remotely from India with overlap for European, Middle Eastern and Asian working hours and scheduled calls for the Americas.
What is hreflang?
An annotation that tells search engines which language and country each page targets, so the right version shows to the right user.
