Best lead sources today for internet leads

✨ AI Highlights

Dealers debate the best internet lead sources, with consensus pointing to a dealership's own website as the top performer, followed by third-party listing sites. The thread's standout moment is Alex Snyder sharing aggregated CRM data from 6,500 stores and 4.4 million leads — including eye-opening AutoTrader performance figures — which others called the most significant data drop the forum had ever seen. A key takeaway from multiple contributors is that no universal best lead source exists; closing rates vary widely by market, and internal processes like follow-up and CRM discipline matter more than which third-party provider you use.
