Auto dealer groups

Websites for auto dealer groups.

Each store has its own inventory, its own service department and its own leads, and shoppers expect the cars on your site to be the cars on the lot. We keep the inventory feeds running for every store, keep vehicle pages quick to open with dozens of photos on each, and send every lead to the right store's CRM.

What we look after

What a dealer group website has to do.

Inventory feeds that keep running

Inventory comes in from your inventory provider or DMS on a schedule. We keep the import running for every store and set an alert for a feed that stops updating.

Vehicle pages with lots of photos

Each vehicle can have dozens of photos. We compress them and load them as the shopper scrolls, so a vehicle page opens quickly on a phone.

Leads to the right store

A lead for a truck at one store has to reach that store's sales team. We send each lead to that store's CRM in the format it reads, with the mail records set up so it arrives.

Service scheduling

Service is what brings customers back. We link each store's service scheduler and keep the service specials current.

Specials with their disclaimers

Offers and lease specials expire and carry disclaimers. We post them with the wording you approve and take them down on the end date.

A page for each store

Each store has its department hours, address and staff on its own page, and shoppers can search across the group or within one store.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • A shopper drove an hour for a truck that sold last week, because the feed had stopped and nobody noticed.
  • Internet leads for one store keep landing in another store's CRM.
  • Lease specials from last month are still on the site, with last month's disclaimers.
  • Vehicle pages with forty photos take forever to open on a phone.
A note from Ryan

Checking the feed against the lot

With a dealer group, I take a few stock numbers from each store and look for them on the site, then look for a few vehicles the store tells me have sold. That shows whether the feed is running and how fast it catches up. After that I send a test lead from each store's pages and ask which CRM it landed in.

Do the cars on your site match the lot?

Send us the sites and tell us where the inventory feed comes from. We'll check a few stores against the feed and write back with what we find.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

If a store's feed hasn't updated on schedule, we get an alert, check whether the problem is on our side or the provider's, and tell you. Sold vehicles come off the site as soon as the feed marks them sold.

Yes, if your CRM accepts leads by email in a lead format or through an API, which most dealer CRMs do. Each form sends to the store the vehicle belongs to, and we send a test lead to each store when the site changes.

We build to the brand rules you give us and post the offers and disclaimers your stores approve. Whether a site qualifies for a manufacturer program or co-op money is between you and the manufacturer, and we'll work to whatever they require.

It depends on whether the stores share one site or each has its own, and on the size of the inventory. Ryan looks at the sites and the feeds, then quotes a Custom SLA with response times and update windows written into the contract. A single store with one site can run on Managed at $50 a month.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
