We also see many keywords, such as Tesla, Model S, Auto show, these are the most frequent appearance. However, in Toyota’s description, they put lots of their social media website links, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram as well as their own official website, including many keywords, such as Toyota, cars, trucks, Autos and Vehicles.
