New Dealership Suggestions

[kylewilliam]

Hello,

We recently opened a used car dealership a few months ago in Los Angeles (near LAX) and had some questions on what is the best way to advertise our cars and just get our company out there. Along with a couple of more insights.

Our website: HK Rides

We currently use:
DealerCenter for our DMS
Have Offerup ($155) and Autotrader/KBB ($550) for our premium web postings
Use Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace
Carfax vehicle history and linking reports to our websites ($400)

We wanted to know what websites/companies are recommended to sell our vehicles?
We currently have only sold a handful of vehicles but recently started to go full time and have 4 vehicles available currently.

What company or in general can help optimize Google SEO? You can also look at https://be-forward.pissedconsumer.com/review.html to see how other automotive businesses manage their online presence, to get our company to populate when someone searches for "used cars"?
How can I use Google Drive to send Credit apps to potential customers? (Or is there an alternative I should be using)

And any other helpful tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

List your cars on major car listing platforms to reach more buyers, and run local ads on social media. Set up and optimize your business profile with photos, reviews, and current inventory so you appear in local searches. Use local keywords like “used cars in Los Angeles” on your website for better SEO, and keep your site mobile friendly. For credit applications, avoid using shared drives and instead use secure online form tools or your dealer management system’s built in credit app. Encourage satisfied buyers to leave reviews to boost trust and visibility.
