Savvy Dealer vs Dealer On

[nessauto]

Small independant here. I found myself looking for a different website company. Savvy Dealer vs Dealer On. Both are the same price...both rated well for seo. I haven't heard about Savvy dealer in the past. Any advisor or knowledge to help make a informed decision?

I'm a non-website-related vendor, so take this with a bit of a grain of salt, but I've seen thousands and thousands of websites in my work and Savvy Dealer does seem to be one of the cleaner ones, though if it's the same price as DealerOn I suspect it's quite a bit more than you'd need for a small indie lot where most of your competition uses Dealercenter or CarsForSale or DealerCarSearch (all of which are somewhat less elegant). I'd also recommend checking out DealerProEdge - smaller but great on SEO.

Website vendor here. For a small independent lot, I'd prioritize a few things:

• Easy inventory updates, especially from a phone.
• A clean website that displays vehicles properly on mobile.
• Simple lead handling.
• Control over your domain and inventory data.
• Responsive support when something goes wrong.

Some website providers make it difficult to compare pricing and features without requesting a quote, so it really comes down to what each company is offering and what your dealership actually needs. I'd recommend asking both vendors specifically about the points above.

One other thing that might help with the decision: would you be willing to share why you're looking for a new website provider? Is there something missing or frustrating about your current setup?
