Building Make/Model Overview Pages

Learn how to use the Page Builder to create Make/Model SEO pages for every vehicle in a dealership’s lineup.

Make/Model overview pages are the foundation of automotive SEO. They’re designed to rank for the most competitive and high-volume keywords—like “Ford F-150,” “Honda Civic,” or “Chevrolet Silverado 1500.”

Every dealership needs these pages because shoppers begin their journey by searching for makes and models long before they’re ready to buy. Agencies typically spend hours creating and updating these pages across multiple rooftops, and the workload grows every new model year. With SEOFlow, you can build and optimize them automatically in minutes.

This guide explains why Make/Model pages matter, how to create them with the Page Builder, and how agencies can use them to deliver results at scale.

Why Make/Model Overview Pages Matter for Dealership SEO

Make/Model Overview pages are the foundation of automotive SEO.

They’re designed to capture high-volume research keywords like “Ford F-150,” “Honda Civic,” or “Chevrolet Silverado 1500.” But their role goes beyond ranking for competitive terms. These pages also act as pillar pages for related informational content.

Think of them as a homepage for each vehicle.

A Make/Model Overview page provides an essential overview of a vehicle, covering specs, trims, features, and details. You know, the important details AI captures as search summaries. 

Then, when you add this page’s URL to the Page Log, SEOFlow will automatically link any future Info articles created for that vehicle back to it.

This creates a hub-and-spoke SEO structure:

  • The Make/Model page becomes the authoritative pillar.

  • Info Pages (like “Ford F-150 towing capacity” or “Honda Civic gas mileage”) link into it.

  • In return, the pillar page links out to those articles.

💡 The result: both pages strengthen each other’s authority in search results, helping dealers rank higher for a broader range of keywords.

  • If a dealership adds a new OEM, update inputs in Channel Settings > SEO tab so Page Builder can generate new pages.

  • Pages can be refreshed automatically to stay aligned with current inventory and schema standards.


How Agencies Use These Pages With Clients

Agencies can use Make/Model pages to:

  • Prove visibility on core, high-volume keywords.

  • Show dealerships how SEO coverage expands across every model they carry.

  • Retain clients by ensuring pages stay current with new model years.

  • Scale quickly across rooftops by automating what used to take hours.


Best Practices for Make/Model Pages

  • Use OEM-approved images whenever possible to maintain brand compliance and visual quality.

  • Update model years annually to keep pages relevant and competitive in search.

  • Highlight safety and technology features, as these are some of the highest-intent keywords buyers search for.

  • Include multiple interior and exterior angles so pages look complete and engaging to users.

  • Keep titles simple and keyword-focused (e.g., “2025 Honda Civic” vs. “Check Out the New Civic Sedan”).

Following these best practices ensures your Make/Model pages not only rank but also build trust with shoppers.
