Monthly Organic Traffic Steady Increase
Organic traffic, or traffic that results naturally without paid advertising, is crucial to your website success.
Northside Auto has seen a continual increase in organic traffic for their AutoSTRADA website, even during the pandemic shutdown! That means the Northside Auto website is getting hundreds to thousands of monthly visitors without spending any money on advertising.
That kind of regular, organic traffic can make a huge difference for auto dealerships trying to get through this difficult time.
Conversion-optimized Design
Getting traffic to your auto website is only half the battle. A conversion-optimized design will ensure that your traffic is translating into leads for your salespeople.
What do we mean by conversion-optimized design?
Buttons that stand out.
The placement, color, and interactivity of the buttons on your homepage help turn your traffic into leads. On the Northside Auto homepage, each button helps direct visitors to the appropriate landing page on the website to serve their needs.
The buttons use a complimentary color that has enough contrast to stand out immediately, while still fitting the overall design of the website.
Directing the Customer
The homepage, which is the top landing page for nearly all websites, is designed to direct the visitor to the information they need to take action.
Northside Auto has several different customer types, those selling and those interested in buying. The goal of the website is to immediately help these customers find the information relevant for them, and encourage them to take action.
Messaging
More and more people expect to be able to instantly get a response from businesses. That is where the messaging feature can help bring in more leads. The ability to add messaging through the service of your choice (including Facebook Messenger) can greatly increase your auto dealer website conversion rate.
Fast Loading
Don’t underestimate the importance of load speed when it comes to SEO and conversion rates.
Websites need to load in under 3 seconds across all devices or you’ll risk ranking penalties and people abandoning your website before they even see it.
Over half (64%) of online buyers will abandon your website and take their business elsewhere if they are unhappy with the loading time and shopping experience.
Northside Auto loads in under 2 seconds, and we’re always working to improve the load time of auto dealerships using our AutoSTRADA website software.
We compress images, set different elements to load at different times, reduce DNS lookups and http requests, and so on.
As browsers update and the Internet evolves, the standards continually change. We’re always updating AutoSTRADA software to keep load speeds optimized for all our clients.
Responsive Design Looks Great on All Devices
You never know what device your visitors might use to visit your auto dealer website, and more and more customers are visiting multiple times from different devices. A great, cohesive experience across all devices is crucial to securing more leads.
The AutoSTRADA dealer website software is designed to respond to whatever the screen size of the users’ device. Font sizes automatically adjust, navigation shifts, images resize, and sometimes certain elements that won’t appear properly (like videos) are replaced with static images.
Northside Auto’s website looks great on every device, including forms.
Features that Earn Visitor Trust
The AutoSTRADA software includes optional features like testimonials, messaging, bios, and more.
These features are designed to earn the trust of website visitors and encourage conversions.
Trust is one of the most important factors in turning a visitor into a lead, and the more “Symbols of Trust” you include on your website, the more leads you will convert.
Features that Attract More Leads
Custom forms allows potential customers to start the process online immediately. The Northside Auto website allows visitors to start the process of selling their auto, search through inventory, and apply for vehicle financing directly on the website. As more and more people are hesitant about face-to-face interactions, a digital option makes all the difference.
Northside Auto customers can choose from a variety of options on the website, without ever needing to call or visit the physical location. This makes the process easier for you sales staff, as well as for potential customers.

From your Dashboard, you and your sales team can view, manage, and contact leads, update your website and blog, manage your inventory, view extensive reports, and much more. Everything you need in one place to manage your digital dealership.
