Hedges & Company originated these SEO techniques

How car audio shoppers really search
It’s important to optimize car audio websites so they show up for the six main search patterns used by DIY and enthusiast consumers. Mobile audio shoppers don’t search like consumers in other industries. The pie chart illustrates these search patterns.
Part type search, modified by specifications like ohms, speaker size, max RMS power, or frequency response range.
Part number search. This type of search is low volume, but it is bottom of funnel, with high purchase intent.
Informational search like “what,” “who,” “where,” or “how.” Examples include how to match an amp to a subwoofer, or what’s the best crossover setting.
Symptom search like “how,” “what” or “when.” Examples are distortion or rumbling in a subwoofer, or how to install sound deadening.
Brand search, which can include searches for reviews or comparisons between brands.
Top-of-funnel category searches (think of categories on your car audio website) like 2-channel amplifiers.

Our strategy includes E-E-A-T and EAST
Hedges & Company creates engaging car audio content based on our acronym “EAST.” That stands for Engagement, Answers, Solutions and Topics. Page engagement is measured by time spent on a page, scrolling depth and bounce rate. Those are also an important ranking signals. Answers, Solutions and Topics ties directly into what works for AI search.
E-E-A-T and EAST: Click to make larger.
E-E-A-T is also very important for websites. That stands for Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trustworthiness.
Google and AI platforms all evaluate and score a website’s E-E-A-T.
Combining EAST and E-E-A-T is a much more powerful SEO strategy than just focusing on keywords. It produces high-quality content that ranks for keywords, phrases and for topics. Google ranks web page quality by evaluating the content, and in turn matches search results based on search intent.
