Fremont, CA: The procedure for purchasing an automobile has changed significantly over time. An encounter formerly solely in person is now frequently started online and finished in person. Most auto purchasers have already decided which in-stock vehicle to buy and how much to pay before entering a dealership. The following are the top three automotive marketing trends in the industry.

Customer Experience

The customer experience and its effects on the car-buying process are the biggest trends in 2022. Customer service, sales, contentment, and experience before purchasing are all parts of the dealership's customer experience.  

Post-pandemic, consumers have different expectations. Businesses that consistently provided excellent customer service throughout the shutdown often outperformed those that did not.

This is crucial because historical evidence shows that market share earned amid a market disruption is easier to maintain and protect once the market recovers.

Business operations during and after the pandemic's peak were dependent on technology. This summary describes the effects of each technological advancement on the auto business and how dealerships may use them to provide improved customer service.

Video Content 

Before anybody enters the store, dealerships can answer clients' inquiries and give them a unique buying experience using personalized films.

Dealerships may produce video material for potential customers to locate and watch whenever they want through video-sharing services. Additionally, video assets may be used in vehicle listing pages, website landing pages, and dealerships' email marketing. With professionally made movies that feature team humans rather than automated items, they are much more effective.

Voice Search

Due to the rise in voice search usage, auto dealers must start planning how to improve their websites' search engine optimization (SEO) and compete for voice search. This is crucial because Google's "position zero" websites, also known as the highlighted snippet, will have their material read aloud by smart devices. Additionally, recent research by Search Engine Watch indicated that highlighted snippets represent 35.1% of all views in Google search results, resulting in increased website traffic from new users.

Dealerships should respond quickly by adopting measures to improve their search engine rankings if they want to benefit from the growing popularity of voice search. Answering frequently asked questions on blogs supports how consumers look for information online and may help dealers compete in this technological field.
