What visitors to a car dealership website come to do

Car shoppers do most of their research online before visiting. They search inventory by make, model and budget, compare prices across dealers, check financing options and trade-in value, and read reviews about how the dealer treats buyers.

Lead with an inventory search, show complete listings with photos, prices and vehicle history, offer financing pre-approval and trade-in estimates, explain inspections and warranties, and feature reviews.

  • Stale inventory that is already sold
  • Advertised prices that leave out mandatory fees

The words

How to write a car dealership website's copy

Straightforward and transparent. Shoppers expect pressure; stand out by being plain about prices, fees, inspections and what happens on the visit. Describe cars by what matters to buyers, such as mileage, history and features, rather than hype.

Before you publish

Rules a car dealership website should follow

Used Car Rule

The FTC's Used Car Rule requires dealers to display a Buyers Guide on used vehicles stating whether a car is sold with a warranty or as is. Make sure online listings match it.

Advertised prices

Federal and state rules restrict misleading prices; show what is included and which fees are extra, and keep advertised prices honest.

General guidance, not legal advice: check the rules where you work.

Connected tools

The tools a car dealership site links to

Common tools for car dealerships, by job
JobCommon tools
Inventory feedYour dealer management system or inventory provider's feed
FinancingCredit application tools from your lending partners
Trade-in valuesTrade-in valuation widgets

Your Orlume site links its buttons to these, so you keep the systems you already use.

Launch checklist

Before a car dealership site goes live

  • Inventory updates automatically.
  • Listings show price, photos and history.
  • Fees beyond the price are stated.
  • Warranty information matches the Buyers Guide.
  • Financing and trade-in forms are short.
  • Test drive booking works on a phone.
