Volunteer your Dealership Website!!

I should give context that this started as an in-house WordPress site 10 years ago (our anti-OEM answer) and is still managed by the same person who now has his own small business. It is our "market site" which isn't quite a "group site" and supports two franchise points and a newer small used lot.

@joe.pistell @Jeff Kershner and I thank you each for volunteering! We view that as a sign of trust that we will view your work professionally (maybe not Joe :lol:) and provide feedback you can immediately take action on... if you wish.

Our goal is to get around to all of you and we are starting with @John V.'s East Coast Honda site tomorrow. John is going to kick this series off and be on the show with us (y)

This thread will stay open to solicit more volunteers for future shows.
 

✨ AI Highlights

Jeff Kershner and Joe Pistell are recruiting volunteer dealership websites for a live audit series called "RefreshFriday," where panelists will evaluate sites on navigation, homepage effectiveness, customer experience messaging, and lead generation strategy. Key insight from Joe Pistell: websites must be optimized differently for two distinct audiences—existing customers (who are forgiving of poor design) and new shoppers unfamiliar with the store (who require compelling design, content, and merchandising to convert). Several dealers volunteer their sites, with priorities ranging from site speed and simplicity to shifting focus from lead generation to customer service.
