Word of mouth
“Brittani and D2 Advertising take a granular approach to
digital. What I appreciate most is that the strategy
isn’t a one size fits all approach, she and her team
take into account the specific dealership’s own
strengths in conversion and content. D2
understands the holistic benefit to an integrated
approach between search, social and SEO.”

We engaged D2 Advertising to focus on our site SEO…to see if they could enhance the overall performance of the traffic we were already driving. We were amazed. The increase in organic traffic was very impressive.
