Car Dealer Websites
Car Dealer Websites
Of course there are several car dealer website vendors that you can choose from. If you are on this site you probably want to know if DealerTrend is the right fit for you and your dealership.
So at this point it is our job to tell you why DealerTrend is the best car dealership website solution. We also need to demonstrate how we are going to help you get more leads and separate you from your competition. Since there is so much to share; this page will summarize and we will add more detail so you can go deeper as you want to.
Features
Part of being a car dealer website vendor is being able to provide the services that you come to expect. The list of automotive website features and services that we provide is as complete as any of our competitors. By using WordPress we also have thousands of additional features that none of competitors have. We are also always working on new features that can help you generate leads in the future. The release of our API is accelerating the normal production pace more than we could have imagined (see DealerTrend API below).
Customer Service & Resources
At DealerTrend we pride ourselves on customer service and will always do our best to meet your needs. This includes education; since knowledge is power we believe that by providing you with quality information and education you will be empowered for success. We do this through our Selling Cars Online Academy blog and training site. The blog is open to everyone, and our private members training area is available to you as a client. You become a client by either using us to build, host and manage your website or by purchasing the DealerTrend API plugin from CarDealerPress. Once inside the members site you will have access to over 50 training videos and tutorials with new ones being added all the time. These video cover everything from SEO tricks and tools to how to get the most out of your WordPress website. You will also have access to our forum and discussions with other dealers.
DealerTrend Philosophy
Over the years that we have been in the car dealer website industry we have always put a focus on the dealer first. We use Open Source programming languages and Open Source philosophies. This means that we share and collaborate on code and techniques with other programmers from around the world so that we are always using cutting edge, best practices. Our focus has never been on what is the shiniest, but rather on what is the most effective. Even though flash websites were all the rage when we started, we resisted the temptation and stuck with text based sites for faster load times and better SEO. We were one of the first in the industry to focus on SEO back in 2001, even before Google was on the radar and have kept SEO as a priority ever since.
When WordPress came along as an open source CMS and blog and we started working with ways to implement it to get more traffic and results. Currently, even after four years of using WordPress we are still the only car dealer website vendor to be using it as a full Content Management System.
Inventory Management
At the heart of a car dealer website is the inventory. At DealerTrend we are one of the few vendor to have built our own inventory management and hosting software. With over ten years of experience the DealerTrend Vehicle Management System (VMS) can handle just about everything that you need.
We committed to building solid, best practice dynamic SEO into our inventory system from day one. To the point we were abiding by Google’s guide to SEO even before they published it.
