    Anyone interested in purchasing a dealer website theme?

    Then what happens when you want to switch vendors? What happens to all of your SEO content that had built up traffic a strong authority on google? The problem I see is at the end of the day the vendors owns you and your content, when you want to switch you throw away all that money that was...

    @Jeff Kershner I love conversations like this also!! I put a lot of effort into locating these jeeps still under factory warranty, spending money to lift them, buy wheels, and color match paint. After all that hard work, the jeeps do not turn as fast as I like. I would say on average 2 a...

    Hi @JessicaRuth thanks for the reply. You think the ford raptor is too much for someone looking for a cheaper vehicle? Right below that is 4 links that direct you right to a SRP then VDP. What vehicle do you think should go there? Thanks Nick

    Hi @craigh thanks for the reply. 1. I took your advice and removed all other pricing and kbb values. 2. I thought educating the customer would work in our favor, but when it comes to a custom vehicle like our wranglers there is no book value. So I can understand why it would give a skewed...

    Hi @JoePistell , I appreciate your reply and I will take this into consideration. I like the little story about Ralph and it makes sense. I actually bought that Raptor with 143 miles on it and used it as my demo for 60 days. You can click through to a carfax that would show clean lemon free...

    Help me build a better online conversion rate

    I didn't know that was a going conversion rate! Thanks. I do understand our site needs an actual about us. Explaining our inspection and recon process, some information about our team and other things. Maybe my issue is the amount of vehicles I have on hand. I thought I was missing something here.

    Help me build a better online conversion rate

    I understand my post is a long winded approach asking many questions. Overwhelmed with all the information on here, I am trying to dial in a great online presence. So I can capture as many customers as possible. We do not keep track of every lead count. Recently we started asking post sale lead...
