The context

A competitive market where AI becomes the new reflex

When an individual wants to have a wreck removed or sell a vehicle that is no longer usable, they look quickly and, increasingly, they ask an AI directly. In this fragmented and competitive market, Inter-Car had a real service but needed to build visibility. Three main obstacles.

🤖

AI answers are absent

In queries where internet users asked which towing company to choose, AIs cited competitors or directories. Inter-Car did not appear, even though it has become a major discovery channel.

🔗

A lack of authority

Too few qualified backlinks were pointing to the site. Without a strong backlink profile, it was impossible to be perceived as a reference, neither by Google nor by models that rely on these signals.

📝

Content not suitable for quotation

The pages did not provide AI with the clear elements (entities, evidence, response formats) they need to confidently cite a brand on a high-intent query.
