Scottsdale SEO and web design sound like a strange fit for a freeway story.
They’re not.
The Loop 101 changed how customers find businesses in Scottsdale, and the internet is doing it all over again.
So buckle up.
We’re taking the scenic route.
Before the 101: Patience Was the Speed Limit
Picture north Scottsdale before the freeway. Getting across town meant Pima Road, Scottsdale Road, and a good CD.
Nobody said “just hop on the 101,” because there was no 101 to hop on.
Arizona planned the Loop 101 in the late 1980s, and sections opened in pieces. The final two-mile link, from Scottsdale Road to Pima Road, opened in April 2002.
That finished all 61 miles.
The Pima Freeway even takes its name from Pima Road, which it follows through Scottsdale.
Once the freeway opened, everything moved closer together.
Customers could suddenly reach businesses they’d never considered before.
The Freeway Built a Business Hub
Take the Scottsdale Airpark.
The city bought the airport in the 1960s and started promoting the area as a commercial Airpark the next year.
Then the Loop 101 arrived and made the commute easy. Today it’s one of the Valley’s busiest business hubs.
The lesson is simple.
When customers can reach you easily, you grow.
That’s true of freeways, and it’s true of Google.
Then Came the Supercars
Now for the fun part.
Right off the 101 sits the Scottsdale 101 Auto Collection, a cluster of luxury dealerships that includes Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin, and Bugatti.
Most Valley shopping trips don’t include a Bugatti sighting.
This one can.
Right in the middle sits the free Penske Racing Museum.
It shows off race cars from Team Penske, a team with more than 650 wins over 60 years.
More than 500,000 people have walked through since it opened. Visitors can see Indy cars, stock cars, and pace cars, then wander out to a parking lot full of exotic cars.
It might be the only museum where the parking lot is also an exhibit.
Here’s the part that matters for your business.
The Auto Collection says “Scottsdale” everywhere, but its mailing address says Phoenix.
Customers don’t care.
They search for “Scottsdale” and expect to find it.
Google cares a lot, though.
If your website, your Google Business Profile, and your listings don’t all tell the same location story, you lose ground to the competition.
What a Freeway Corridor Teaches Us About Local SEO
The dealerships along the 101 follow three rules.
You can follow them too.
- Be easy to find. Dealers sit right by the freeway. You need to sit right at the top of local search.
- Make a great first impression. A showroom has polish. Your website should too.
- Give people a reason to stop. The museum draws people in for free. Your content does the same job.
