Identity Management
Business Listings Identity Management is an ongoing process of authoritatively updating and verifying your dealership listing information for "Local
Searches". This is not SEO, this is entirely about giving search engines and
directories the best information possible about your business keeping the
profile updated and active, enabling them to match queries with the best
results and making sure your customers find the right information about
your business by updating your hours, address, contact information and
photos.
How It Works
More people search for businesses online than anywhere else, most consumers search by entering unstructured, “top of mind” (key) words to locate
local businesses. Search terms that include "what" they are looking for and
"Where" they are looking (e.g. "Ford Dealers in Chicago, IL” ), for locationrelevant businesses these types of searches are the most important queries
that you can hope to win. These queries aren't you trying to beat out your
nationwide or global position for search engine rankings, but are instead
highly local-based and often immediate in their conversion from a query to
a phone call or physical customer at your location.
• Facebook Pages
• WhitePages.com
• Google Local
• Merchant Circle
• Insider Pages
• Manta
• Main Street Market
• Wikipedia
• Aol City Guide
• 43% of all Google searches are local or location based
• Over 50% of mobile searches are local or location based
Your Name, Address and Phone Number accuracy is vital to local business
listing attributes used by search engines and improving rankings. Our
Social Media Department will make your listing really shine with photos
and videos; custom categories like your service area, brands you sell and
coupons to encourage customers to make a first-time or repeat purchase.
• And Many More
Best of all, our team will keep you current every month so that you will show
up in these type searches on all the major search platforms.

Increase Leads Without Spending More
Every year, dealers spend millions driving traffic to their websites.
Smart dealers are beginning to realize that more emphasis should be
placed on converting these valuable visitors into leads and sales. The
average conversion rate for most dealer websites is less than 2%. The
remaining 98% represents a huge missed opportunity, especially since
leads generated from a dealers own website have the highest closing
ratio.
Our Live Chat service changes your static website
from informational to conversational
We have developed a cost effective way to convert more of your existing website traffic into leads. Why spend more to increase traffic when
you can convert a higher percentage of the thousands of visitors you already have.
We have a proven way to convert visitors into quality leads
• Live Chat Increases Sales
• Interacts In Real Time
• Increases Responsiveness
• Develop Deeper Customer Relationships
• No Long Term Contracts
• Stand Out Amongst Competitors
Our approach is very similar to your car dealership’s approach. You
can promptly greet and welcome all visitors, build rapport, and
answer product specification queries while getting the important information needed for your staff to close the sale. Sales process and
correct execution are important aspects for your dealership to sell
cars. The same is true with your online visitors. The correct live chat
process and execution is the key to increasing lead conversion from
your website.
