We launched the Virtual Credit Consultant last year in an effort to create a better online financing application for the dealers.

The VCC is now FREE for all DealerLab.com customers.

The VCC can be installed in:

• The SRP–See top banner
• The VDP–See “Get Pre-Approved” to the right.
• The Home Page
• It is mobile responsive (See attached image)

The VCC doesn’t just work for special financing, the tool is just a credit application, the information around it in the page makes it look one way or another. That means that it is also useful for dealers not looking for special finance customers but just for customers to apply for credit via their website.

The VCC is also mobile adaptive, if your mobile traffic is right now 30% of your total traffic this represents a 30% increase on chances to get a credit application done for the dealership. We can add the VCC to both the mobile SRP and the mobile VDP as well as the banner on the mobile home page. It also works great in tablets.

You can access your current credit applications via the Dealerlab.com back end by going to Leads::Finance::Virtual Consultant. The system will display regular credit apps from the VCC, that way you can use them for different purposes, landing pages, etc and keep track of how they produce individually.

All the credit applications are also stored in the credit section of the website’s back end for quick and easy access.

If you are not getting enough credit applications this product will work for you and it is free for all DealerLab.com customers.

A couple weeks ago we posted about the use of video in the car sales world. Website providers everywhere are constantly trying to find ways to convert Browsing Customers into Buying Customers. Here at PGI we have stayed on the cutting edge of technology by building focused packages which pair the videos we take with powerful SEO and Distribution to give you a much higher chance of this conversion.

Converting a Customer needs to be done quickly. Usually we only have a few seconds at best to draw a person in and make them want to stick around long enough to learn the value of what is being offered.

Statistically speaking, the Online Publishers association tells us that 80% of internet users admit to having watched a video ad in the last 30 days. 46% of these visitors took some action after viewing the ad. 12% of these active visitors actually purchased the product featured in the ad.

As you can see, making videos available and visible wherever your customers see inventory is crucial to taking advantage of the video craze going on in the market today. Our goal is to transform your inventory into a full fledged moving marketplace aimed solely at Customer Conversion.

Stay tuned later this week to see our new flagship video account in action!

The Marketing Report pulls all Pay-Per-Click (PPC) statistics from Google Analytics, Google AdWords, call tracking, and chat leads, and displays them in an easy-to-understand format so you can track the effectiveness of your digital marketing efforts. This report is the most transparent way to view and analyze the following data:

• The number of clicks your ads have received
• The number of impressions (appearances on a search results page) your ads have gained
• The total number of unique (new) visitors that reached your site from the ad campaigns
• The number of lead conversions that resulted from the ad campaigns
• The total amount of money spent on the campaigns
• Network specific data (Google Search vs. Google Display)

Campaign and AdGroup Breakdown

The information above is then broken down at the Campaign and Ad Group level. Campaign level data gives you an overview of how your campaign is performing based on your objectives for that campaign. For example, you can view how your New Cars campaign is performing relative to your Used Cars campaign. Within the campaign, you can view performance statistics at the Ad Group level, which allows you to get a sense for how the ads in each campaign are being searched. You can also see how much of your traffic is coming from desktop, mobile, and tablet devices, as well as what geographic areas your campaigns are targeting.

Inventory-Based Ad Analytics

If your inventory feed is synced with our Digital AMMP Inventory-Specific Advertising Platform, then the AdWords reporting will include another level of analysis. Since we are pulling vehicle-specific information from your inventory and are placing dynamic ads related to your inventory on Google, we can view exactly what kind of activity those vehicles generate from the time they hit a Google search page until the vehicle is sold. When you click the “Details” button on your inventory-specific campaign, you will be able to see a breakdown of every vehicle that is currently being advertised or that has been on the Google network and has since been sold.

Details Page Statistics

The Details page provides a statistical overview including Total Cost. You can also view the Top-Clicked Vehicle Details Pages, Clicks versus Cost for each vehicle, and whether or not that vehicle is sold or still active in your inventory. The Top 10 Viewed Makes and Models provide a great visual to the overall interest of your customers.

I’ve noticed a few rumors on the web that Facebook can help your SEO, or that having more likes will boost your Google pagerank. These are (currently) inaccurate, but that doesn’t mean Facebook isn’t a legitimate way to generate traffic and leads.

Facebook falls under the “Content Marketing” strategy. Content marketing is all about putting relevant content out there for customers to find. Where Facebook comes into this strategy is providing content for the customers that have already connected with you in the hopes that they will spread the word.

The best content strategy for Facebook tends to be 1 offer/promotion to every 4 posts of useful content. The goal is to provide value to your followers so that they tell their friends, and as your reach increases, you send the offers that convince them to come to your website and convert. For each new follower, that’s another free impression you have on all future content, because your new posts will show up in their feed.
Facebook advertising can accelerate the process by putting your content in front of the people you want to target, in the hope of getting them to like your Facebook page so they’re part of your audience for future content. Alternatively, you can just have your ads take the user directly to your website.

We are glad to announce a brand new integration with Google.

DealerLab websites now will display in the back end all the results from your PPC and retargeting campaigns.

This is not a “dealerlab” reporting tool, this is the information straight from Google.
