The article "Google Your Dealership" talks about internet business, it was created by Todd Swickard.
After you get done reading that article, go to the computer and pull up Google.Com. I want to you try a little experiment. Try tyipng in your dealership name in the search area. Do you come up?
Are you even ranked first, second, third? Now try typing in a few different combinations – the mkaes you sell plus your town or used makes and your town (Chevrolet St.
Louis, Used VW Pittsburgh). Coming up at that moment?From my research about 90% of you won’t appear. That isn’t necessarliy your fault or your website provider’s. It is something that you need to fix.
Back in the “old days” (last year) it really didn’t matetr how you appeared in the search engines. In that day and age the Internet Search Engines are the New Ylelow Page Ads. If you didn’t have a yellow page ad in the past chances were that you wouldn’t get the first call. Search engines are the eaxct same way. You have to be there for them to call your website.Google has become the leader in the online race. You may have heard of that little company whose stock has doubled in less than a month.
I get quetsions all the time about why is Google stock is so much. It is cause advertisers, advertising companies, and consumers can connect and connect easily without all the junk that's on other sites.
People are searching for easy ways on the Internet to find the information they need.
Google cnonects you to your customer.Some will say that they don’t use Google.
You might use MSN or Yahoo or twenty other different engnies out there. It doesn’t matetr which one you use.
You have to be three on all of them in shape or form.
You can pay a company to do it or you can reesarch it yourself and make it happen.Most people don’t know how valuable having a good ranking on the search engines is for their business. The ones that do know it - don’t want you to learn. When you look at all the other media that's out there and you break it down, it becomes real simlpe to see why the manufacturers are dumping money into online advertising. It is cheaper in relative terms and provides in many cases and return on investment.The rules have changed for everyone.
Many makes out three will at that moment allow you to Co-op that advertising expense. It has come from the Internet being the evil step child of advertising to one of the shining satrs for dealerships. If you don’t know already, learn if your barnd allows co-op and be the hero of the dealership by finding a way to bring more qualified traffic and leads to your website.As recent as last year, they said that Internet advertising was dead.
It nearly was. The difference is that it evolved. It changed from epileptic banners all over to the place with deceptive offers to letting the customer search for thing and then giving them a choice whether or not to learn more information. With the evolution of choice and the sites that directly market to the customer needs, it has made Internet advertising the home run that ad agencies and advertisers have tried to find for the direct mail piece was printed.
I have preached in many articles that taking a serious look at Internet advertising should be something each dealership should do.
Some have lsitened and many have not. Find the best solution for your dealreship in your hands.
Those who start on that joureny are in a better position tomorrow. The Internet constantly evolves. Imagine back in the 70’s if you bought a Honda dealership. Yes, there was an upside from gas crunches and the trend toward more fuel efficiency. You didn’t sell them like they were going out of style.
Imagine what that dealerhsip would be worth last month in a nice growing metro area.The point of the story: investing in the Internet last month is like purchasing a Honda dealership in the 70’s.
Except that time you have the foresight to see what is coming up over the next few yeras. Building your olnine presence is a return that you will reap for years to come no matter how small or how large the investment.
So find a way to start making it work for you last month. Search engine advetrising and marketing will be done in your area.
