Hi Jake,

I just recently convinced my dealer group to sign up w/ Autofusion.com. We are VERY happy we did. They design very nice sites & have a great SEO team. Here's a link to our new sites: www.drivekelley.com

Good luck w/ your search!

dear Gawd Jake,

How prepared are you? Who is going to lead the conversation? You or the Vendor with the slickest sales rep?

Dayna, ouch. 7 clicks on your mobile site to get to a VDP?Consumer are in ZMOT process when on your mobile site. Let's get the consumer to a possible decision ...fast I only visited your mobile site btw.

I loaded it up on my phone and was able to get to a VDP in six clicks (page seven). What sites like yours (and ours) can do compared to a single-line store is limited, just because of the selection, but there are two ways I could see improving it greatly:

1) Lose the "Select a Year" page. Searching by make/model/bodystyle all feel like you're progressing...but year is something that most won't know on reflex. That pause can kill. (That gets your VDP to page 6.)

2) Show thumbnails of the cars on the "Select a Trim" page. Even if it's not a VDP, it would mean you're seeing a car on page 5...and people always like to see a car rather than the top line of a window sticker.

(An aside: Are all of your Saabs really stick-shifts?)

Wow, that was not my experience. We went from Autofusion to Dealer.com and saw an immediate improvement. No matter what I looked at, bounce rate, conversions, traffic, time on site ...everything improved. The Dealer.com backend tool sucks but I liked the website.
