Dealer FAQs – Everything You Need to Know Before Partnering with DealerSales.co

We believe in transparency. Here are the most common questions dealers ask us before working together — from AI search optimization to lead quality, integrations, and ROI.

AI Search & Digital Presence

How do you help dealerships stand out in AI search like ChatGPT or Google AI?

We optimize your website and content for AI‑powered platforms like ChatGPT, Google SGE, and Gemini. Using Q&A‑style content, structured schema, and AI‑ready inventory feeds, we make sure your dealership shows up when car buyers ask for recommendations.

What does “AI-optimized website” actually mean?

An AI-optimized website is structured for AI search engines to read, interpret, and recommend. We create Q&A-style; content, add schema for inventory, reviews, and offers, and ensure your site is fast, ADA-compliant, and technically clean.

Will AI SEO replace traditional SEO?

Not replace — but complement. Traditional SEO is still essential for Google, but AI‑powered platforms require different optimization strategies (conversational content, schema, and AI‑ready feeds). We prepare your dealership for both the present and future of search.

Our Approach & Differentiators

What makes DealerSales.co different from other automotive marketing agencies?

Unlike generic agencies, we specialize exclusively in dealerships. With over a decade of hands‑on experience in automotive operations, IT, and marketing, we understand your workflows, inventory systems, and sales challenges. Our strategies are custom‑built for car dealers — not repurposed from other industries.

Do you work with independent dealerships or only franchise stores?

We work with both independent and franchise dealerships. Whether you’re selling 20 cars a month or managing multiple rooftops, our solutions are scalable and tailored to your dealership’s unique needs.

Leads & Results

How do your strategies actually help us sell more cars?

We combine AI‑optimized SEO, LinkedIn‑driven lead generation, and conversion‑focused campaigns to bring in high‑intent buyers. This means more showroom traffic, more quality leads, and faster car sales — not just website visits.

Do you generate real leads or just traffic?

We focus on quality over quantity. Our LinkedIn‑driven campaigns target high‑intent, professional buyers, and our AI‑optimized SEO strategies bring in ready‑to‑buy shoppers — not just empty clicks or irrelevant leads.

How quickly can we start seeing results?

Most dealerships see an impact within 60–90 days. While SEO and AI optimization build over time, our LinkedIn and paid campaigns can start generating qualified leads within weeks.

How do you track results?

We provide clear dashboards and monthly check‑ins so you always know what’s working. You’ll see leads generated, cost per lead, traffic growth, and campaign performance by channel.

Integrations & Operations

Can we keep our current website, or do we need a new one?

If your current site is technically sound, we can optimize it for AI search with structured data, Q&A content, and performance upgrades. If it’s outdated or non‑compliant, we’ll build a new, AI‑ready, ADA‑compliant website to maximize visibility and conversions.

Can you integrate with our existing CRM and inventory feeds?

Yes. We’re fluent in dealer systems and can integrate with most CRMs, DMS platforms, and inventory providers. From VIN feeds to lead tracking, we make sure everything works seamlessly with your existing setup.

Do you also handle social media marketing?

Yes. We manage LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms — with a focus on high‑quality leads and conversions, not just likes or impressions.

Do you manage social ads, Google listings, and platforms like Craigslist?

Yes. We run LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads, and syndicate your inventory across Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Google Vehicle Listings, and more — focusing on high‑quality, conversion‑ready leads.

Contracts & Commitments

Do you lock dealers into long‑term contracts?

No. We work month‑to‑month. Dealers stay with us because they see results — not because they’re locked in.

What’s the onboarding process?

We make onboarding simple: we review your current digital presence, connect your inventory and CRM, create a tailored strategy, and start optimizing your site and campaigns — typically within the first 2 weeks.

Compliance & Accessibility

Can you help with ADA‑compliant websites?

Absolutely. We design WCAG 2.1 & 2.2‑compliant websites so your dealership stays accessible, future‑proof, and optimized for all users — including how AI ranks sites.
