Change in ownership 

The one thing constant in life is change. If your dealership has recently had a change in ownership, most likely there is a change in vision as well. Maybe you have a different business strategy and need to highlight the new ownership and updated mission statement. Or maybe you just don’t have the same taste in design as the previous owner. AutoRevolution.com can redesign your website so the right message - your message - is being displayed to your potential buyers the way you want. After all, this is your online showroom!

Poor SEO

Most web traffic to local dealership websites comes from search engines. If your website is not search engine optimized for both content & structure, you could be missing out on dozens of leads each month. If your current website is not getting the traffic you need to be competitive, poor SEO is often one of the culprits. Need more information about how we can help? Contact us today.

AutoDealerWebsites should have both visual appeal and be easy to use. Our team understands that your message is important and how it’s displayed will determine if a visitor stays and converts to a lead or leaves without any action. Once a visitor arrives on your website, your content will lead a clear path to guide them and call them to action. 

Shoppers are pressed for time and since they have access to a plethora of information at their finger tips, it’s vital you keep your message clear and concise. 

From the moment they arrive on your website’s homepage, you have an average of 10-30 seconds to engage them. Give your visitor what they are looking for even if they don’t know what that is yet. Make your message about them, offer solutions, provide them with options, then guide them using call to action steps. 

Navigation from page to page is going to make a huge difference in the way you convert traffic to leads. Most people skim through content so make your you are not overloading your page with long paragraphs and a wall of text that will turn away your visitors. 

A strong message will capture and engage your target audience. This is done through content. Content should consist of short, relevant paragraphs, images and other graphics, lists with bullets points or numbers and call to action buttons. Simple and clear.

You are one in a million car dealerships with pictures of your cars. How can you make your cars stand out in that crowd? One way is by using overlays/watermarks. A photo overlay is an image that is fused with a vehicle picture to create an opportunity to strengthen your branding and maintain consistency of message across multiple digital outlets where your vehicles are listed.

Overlays can be applied using different filters. A checkbox in Inventory Manager can let you choose which cars get the overlay. Or choose a consistent method of application for your inventory (for example: first image, first 5 images, or all images).

Take a look at the first photo, it is plain. Nothing about it stands out. There is no phone number, logo, web address…nothing to give any clue where the photo came from.

Now, look at the second photo, it sends a clear message: Dealership name, phone number, web address, logo: everything your future customer needs to find you fast.So instead of sending a prospect hunting for contact information or forms, you've placed all the information they need right in front of their eyes.

Such a simple, cost effective way to make your photos stand out! Whether it's your company brand, product features, contact information, sales announcements: overlays give your photos that extra edge.

Don’t lose another sale. Call us today at 972-243-8460 and order your custom overlays!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) One Goal: Traffic

In the business of the Internet, there is one main goal: traffic. You can't make money with your online presence if you can't be found. Increased traffic = increased revenue.

What is SEO?

SEO (search engine optimization) is the science of increasing your search engine rankings by taking advantage of aspects of coding that are specifically designed to communicate to search engines about the content of your pages.

The goal is to rank as high as possible in organic (non-paid) search results.

As a business you are looking to increase your company’s online presence and profitability. Taking some time, money and care to customize these areas of code can have long-term positive effects on your search engine rankings and can be a great investment in your online profile.

You have two options for taking advantage of these important fetaures:

1) You have access to update these yourself! Take matters into your own hands, or let one of your verbally-talented employees manage these for you. Simply navigate to "edit web site content" in the Return To menu in Inventory Manager. Use the drop-down menu to select the page you want to update, then click "Page Title / Keywords." Work your magic, then click "submit changes." Your SEO work will immediately show up in the code for that page, and your page title and description will become additional content on your web page.

2) Let us do the work for you! We use a combination of your desired keywords, our experience in the industry, people's browsing habits, and only white hat techniques to craft meaningful and descriptive SEO content for the pages of your website.  .
