Dealer website resources
Questions worth asking before you choose a website partner.
Use these practical review points to compare what a provider will build, manage, measure, and hand back to your dealership team.
Website ownership
Who is accountable after launch?
A dealership website is an ongoing operating surface. Confirm who handles updates, inventory presentation, promotional changes, quality checks, and issue resolution after the initial build.
- Which changes are included in ongoing service?
- Who approves brand, offer, and destination changes?
- How are urgent corrections requested and confirmed?
Organic search
Which SEO work is included?
Ask for a clear explanation of technical foundations, indexable page content, local relevance, measurement, and the difference between organic work and paid media.
- Which pages should search engines index?
- How are duplicate, thin, or third-party surfaces handled?
- What reporting shows completed work and observed change?
Merchandising
How quickly can the website support the floor?
Inventory presentation and promotional banners should reflect approved offers and dealership priorities without creating an unmanageable queue of disconnected requests.
- Who supplies and approves offer details?
- Where should each banner or inventory pathway lead?
- What happens when an offer expires or inventory changes?
Lead delivery
Where does each shopper inquiry go?
A complete form, call action, or chatbot handoff has an approved destination, consent language, failure state, and dealership owner.
- Which dealership system is the approved destination?
- Who receives and validates test submissions?
- How are delivery failures surfaced and resolved?
