Auto Dealer DMS Marketing Agency Turn dealer research into demos & signed dealers.

Our pricing is public and the same whether you're a two-rooftop independent or a multi-store group: Google Ads management runs 10% of your monthly ad budget with a $600/month minimum, and every dollar of that budget still goes to Google — we add no markup. SEO runs $50 per page per month, with a 10-page minimum. Custom websites are one-time projects from $1,500 to $20,000+, scoped to your platform (full breakdown at /websites). Setup is $0, we run month-to-month with no contract, and you'll have exact numbers in hand within one business day.

If demos keep stalling somewhere between the walkthrough and the signature, if your cost per demo climbs every quarter, or your pipeline still runs mostly on NADA Show booth traffic and word of mouth inside dealer 20 groups — yes, and fixing even one of those problems is usually worth more than the fee itself. We build the landing pages, run the ads and SEO, and write the demo-follow-up sequences, freeing your team to focus on the platform and your current dealer base. If your demo calendar is already full and converting well, there's no reason to change anything.

It owns every channel that turns a click into a signed rooftop. SearchPod builds your demo-request site and landing pages, runs Google plus LinkedIn campaigns aimed at dealer principals, GMs, and controllers, wins the comparison and “switch from [incumbent]” searches a store runs before it ever calls a rep, and automates the demo-recap and contract-review follow-up email that keeps a deal moving — one team, start to finish, from first click to signed dealer.

Ask whether they optimize for booked demos or just clicks, whether they can trace a demo back to its CAC and the revenue it eventually signed, and whether they understand that a dealer buys on how sales, F&I, service, parts, and accounting work together as one desk — not a feature list. Then check ownership: your site, ad accounts, and dealer data should stay in your company's name, not the agency's. Ask how they'd shorten the gap between a demo and a signature; a vague answer tells you what you need to know.

Paid campaigns typically start producing demo requests within the first few weeks of launch. Organic rankings for category and “switch from [incumbent]” searches take about 3–4 months to build, and a steady lift in demo volume from SEO usually takes another 6–8 months to fully show up. Follow-up email is different — it starts moving your close rate within the first week, since it's working demos you've already paid to generate, while organic ranking builds in the background.

Nothing here gets handed off between vendors — one team builds the site, runs the ads and SEO, handles AI search, and writes the lifecycle email, and we're judged on signed rooftops, not on traffic. Pricing stays public, contracts run month-to-month with no multi-year lock-in (a real relief if you've read a DMS renewal clause before), and every account — site, ads, analytics, dealer data — stays in your name, not an agency's, starting day one.

Our pricing is public — the real starting price for every service sits on the pricing page — and your plan gets scoped to your platform, whether you sell mostly to franchise groups, independents, or buy-here-pay-here dealers. Tell us what you sell and to whom, and we'll turn that into real numbers — a scoped proposal in your inbox within one business day, no obligation.

On booked demos, signed rooftops, and the expansion revenue from a group's next store — never vanity traffic. Landing pages and CTAs are built around booking a call, and we track each demo forward to its outcome, so you can see your real CAC and which channel is actually bringing you rooftops that renew.

Yes. For franchise dealer groups, we build the site and CTAs around a multi-rooftop, committee-style decision — IT standards, controller sign-off, and a GM at each store. For independent and buy-here-pay-here dealers, we build a faster, single-decision-maker path, usually straight to the dealer principal. Most vendors sell across that whole spread, and we build the system around how each type actually decides.

Yes — your site, your brand assets, ad accounts, analytics, and every bit of dealer data live in accounts your company owns outright, not an agency's. We're month-to-month; walk away anytime and nothing moves, because it was never anywhere but yours to begin with.

Yes. We plug into the stack a dealer software company is already running — HubSpot, Salesforce, or your own product analytics — so demo requests and pipeline stage sync automatically, and you can trace a signed rooftop all the way back to the ad that started it.

Most auto dealer DMS builds — site plus landing pages — go live in 2 to 4 weeks. What speeds that up: how quickly we get product screenshots, your positioning against the incumbent you're replacing, and feedback on drafts. You'll have a firm timeline before any work starts.
