New & Used Inventory
Web searchers are very interested in seeing accurate, up-to-date inventory information for local dealers. The website will include a full inventory system that can be browsed and searched by users. The website will feature several prompts for the visitor to submit an email or other contact information to find out more about any vehicles they are interested in or to schedule a test drive.Special Offers
Many websites suffer from telling instead of selling. This website should feature regular, fresh special offers. Pop-Up coupons can be placed on key pages to attract immediate attention, and we suggest as part of an ongoing maintenance plan to keep a number of web-only specials displayed prominently for interested visitors.Search Optimization
We will develop and structure the site to optimize both natural (organic) search results as well as provide a strong base for pay-per-click or other paid search campaigns. Visitors at different stages of the buying process are interested in different information, and the best strategy is to focus each page strongly on expected user needs and provide a clear path for them to take action. Core Content The website will feature all typical information – new & used vehicle inventory, contact pages & forms, history & about us sections, special finance information, service department information and a detailed site map.Online Marketing + Analytics
