Automotive Site SEO Boost

I run an established automotive website and I am ready to push its organic reach much further. My single, clear goal is to increase organic traffic in a measurable, sustainable way. I am open to whichever blend of on-page, off-page, or technical SEO you feel will move the needle fastest; you are free to recommend the exact mix once you have reviewed the site.

Here is what I need from you:
• An initial audit that pinpoints current obstacles to growth.
• A data-backed strategy with target keywords, recommended content fixes or additions, link-building ideas, and technical improvements.
• Hands-on implementation of the approved plan, followed by concise progress reports highlighting traffic and ranking gains.

The domain has solid content and good industry authority, so I am looking for an SEO specialist who can spot quick wins yet also set up long-term gains. Please outline relevant experience with automotive or similarly competitive niches, mention any preferred tools you will use (for example, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console), and give me an estimated timeline for the first visible traffic lift.

I will provide full access to analytics, search console, and the CMS once we agree on the approach.
