Ah, the sacred relationship between the auto dealership and and the auto website provider. The way your shoppers experience your website plays a big role in their decision to buy from you, so the site should feel like an extension of your dealership: welcoming, helpful, personalized, and convenient.
But, as with almost everything in life, one size does not fit all. So when your dealership looks for the perfect website provider, prioritize the elements that are most important to you. Some features to consider:
- Integration with other technology and software. Most automotive website providers these days provide at least minimal, but often extensive, integration with services and software useful to car shoppers and your dealership. Make sure your automotive website supports everything you need it to.
- Mobile optimization. How adaptable is the website design for use on tablets and mobile? Remember, people want your website to be wherever they are, so strong mobile optimization is key. Many automotive websites offer what’s known as responsive web design, which means that the site resizes itself according to the measurements of the viewer’s screen. This means the site looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- Design. What do this provider’s websites look like? How customizable are they? Do you like the visual format, and will it work with your dealership’s look and brand?
- Support. How does this auto website provider’s customer service measure up? How accessible are the representatives? Before signing on with a provider, call them and see if you like the service you receive.
- Your staff. Think about your dealership staff and who will be spending the most time on your website. Make sure to work with an auto website provider that’s comfortable for them.

Turn website visitors into paying customers:
Having a good-looking website is a start, but it’s not enough. Shoppers nowadays have grown accustomed to a higher standard of customer experience – especially online. This is why companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify are thriving. They provide a helpful, convenient and personalized experience. They remember customers’ details, what they’ve looked at during their previous browsing session, and make recommendations on items to purchase or content to watch based on previous online behavior.
The expectations from automotive are no different – shoppers tend to trust, visit and purchase from dealerships that offer a great online experience. This is why customer engagement tools like Connect are so important, serving as a ‘virtual salesperson’ by suggesting offers and special, calculating E-price & trade-in, scheduling test-drives etc.
A good Customer engagement tool can lead each one of your customer’s hand in hand through the shopping process, and convert them into qualified leads.
