    How much do you spend on marketing for 3rd party market places?

    Inventory Management tool to replace V-auto

    I love vauto and they do a great job. Our Performance Manager is top notch and we have been a customer since 2007. Why am I looking for a replacement? Cost. We are reviewing every invoice from website vendors down to how many shredder boxes we need in a store. I have looked at Max Digital...

    Cargurus, Please tell me how this benefits your customer (aka... The Dealer)????

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm a little surprised since CG always mention the customer experience . Seems a little misleading to show inventory that doesn't match your search criteria.

    This program has been in place for a month now and I would love to see data on how this has affected cpc and results. Anyone care to share? We decreased cpc 12.5% across the board tightening up some of our broad match keywords and dialing in exact match keywords.

    Watch CarGurus Hijack this Lead

    Watch CarGurus Hijack this Lead

    Best FCA Certified Digital SEM Vendor Near Me?
