Aftermarket experience
We’re members of the aftermarket trade associations, and we attend the SEMA Show and AAPEX. We’ve done ground-breaking market research for SEMA and we’ve co-authored industry reports for the Auto Care Association.
We’ve served on SEMA and Auto Care Association committees over the years (currently serving on the Auto Care Association Market Intelligence Committee).
Your strategy
Two decades of research show parts & accessories buyers search online in 6 main ways. Your strategy will be to show up for these search patterns.
♦Part type search (example: “Honda Civic engine rebuild kit” )
♦Part number search (“BD0431” or “000-421-22-12” )
♦Informational search (“How to fix low oil pressure at idle?” )
♦Symptom search (“Fix P0402 diagnostic code” or “F-150 squeaky brakes” )
♦Brand search (“Acme Leather Seats” or “reviews for Pareto Pistons” )
♦Category search (“JK tops” )
Your Process
Clients get The Hedges & Company Process.
It starts with the Kickoff Call: goals and priorities are set, and we agree how we’ll measure success (yellow circle).
We then start intense keyword/competitor research, account structuring and build-out, and reporting. We also schedule our recurring Strategy Meetings (first 2 blue squares).
Every 3 months you get a Quarterly Review on strategy, account performance, competitor analysis, and next expectations.
