Since our start, dealers have asked us to assist them with their automotive search engine optimization efforts. As a result, we have launched PureSearch™ Marketing, a service that utilizes the latest in search engine optimization and marketing technology to help dealers achieve their goals of ranking for the most important keywords in their chosen market.
Unlike most automotive SEO services out there, PureSearch™ Marketing takes a fluid approach to optimization by expanding our efforts as a dealership’s web presence grows. Once keyword goals are achieved, those keywords are moved to a monitored “holding” status and new keywords are added. This allows our dealers to rank exceptionally for hundreds of keywords instead of the 15-25 keywords that most dealer websites hold.
We optimize the website itself, regardless of the vendor, but the real differentiating factor is our mastery of offsite authority. Quality inbound links from relevant websites is the true “golden ticket” in automotive search engine optimization. We are constantly building powerful links to our clients’ websites to improve their rankings and drive targeted traffic.
Feel free to contact us for a quote. Because every situation is different and individually researched, there is no way to post pricing. Getting a decently optimized website ranked for “Boise Cadillac Dealer” isn’t the same as getting a poorly optimized site ranked for “Chicago Toyota”. There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all car dealer SEO. Let us analyze your situation today.

That’s right folks. We did it. We went from launch to having processed, filtered, and analyzed 50,000 leads from 81 dealerships in 4 months.
I’m very proud of my team as they continue to grow the power of our Carfeine suite of products and services.
And thank you to all our dealerships who continue to challenge us to do things better, faster, and make us stronger.

We passed 40,000 leads processed & analyzed!
You might think that’s not a big deal. But guess what, the majority of that has been ramped up int he last 60 days. So the real question is… where will we be next month? next quarter? next year?
Exciting times
We’ve had two great things happen this week which are of note. First is that the second iteration of our web site is now live at http://carfeine.com.
We wanted to address several aspects of our site - the least of which was that we had many people asking for more information on our products and us as a company. So… here ya’ go. Carfeine.com v2

Wanted to let all our users know that we have just released our Lead Mapping feature.
This tool specifically will help you see where your customers are coming from.
Log-in and take a look!

I didn’t believe it could begin ramping so quickly after our Beta trials. It appears though that everyday dealerships like our Internet lead management and analytics product, PureLead™. We’ve gone from 50 dealership trials to 63 in the last week alone and this week already promises very good growth.
I’ll let you know where we are later…

From all of us at Carfeine, Happy New Year!
This year is going to hold big things for us and we want to extend a heart-felt “Thank You” to all our customers for a great inaugural 2007!
Cheers!

For those of you whom have not spoken to us recently, we have some great product news.
Carfeine is expanding our service offerings for the PureLead Analytics platform to include Managed Lead Analytics (a la carte) and Managed Recovery (also a la carte). These services augment the already popular and performance-based product PureLead Analytics and extend our value offering.
The add-ons have been requested by multiple of our dealership customers. Some dealers do not have the personnel to conduct said work or the personnel already have plenty to do. Let’s face it, it’s time intensive and laborious to try and put together the reports and activity that many principals and General managers request.
Enter Carfeine. We’ll take care of it and email it to you, your management, or any other stake holder you request receive the reports. What’s more is we’ll show you the results after the very first month!
Contact a Carfeine Rep today and find out more (or check out the site once it’s updated).

We were accepted into the Montgomery County Silver Spring Innovation Center. For those of you who aren’t from our area or anywhere close, the office building is in a great area and where The Discovery Channel has its headquarters.
Moreover, Maryland is pretty stringent on who gets into these centers. It’s a big vote of confidence that we really have something here and we’re stoked.
Great things are sure to follow and as always, stay tuned.

Something different has occurred and is most visible if you have recently perused our Solutions section on the Carfeine web site.
That change is the absence of the ‘a la carte’ solutions. Originally requested by our first dealers, lately too many have been asking if we are the ones that perform the services. It’s important to understand that Carfeine Interactive Marketing is an intermediary between vendors and dealers. In reality, the ‘a la carte’ options were an explanation of the differing services/marketing channels available to our customers via our OnePoint Management service.
By removing the section we hope that inquisitive dealerships will concentrate on our two core solutions. The first, PureLead Analytics is a fantastic tool which basically allows you to learn everything you ever wanted to know about a lead. That’s just the beginning really for what it can do now and what we have in store for it.
OnePoint Management is your one-point of contact for any vendor to dealer relationship. An Internet Sales Manager or the person ‘in charge’ of the Internet store needs to devote his time to extracting value out of the tools selected and sell cars. What is not necessary is dealing with inventory, software bugs and glitches, new vendors trying to pitch their products, and all the other vendor management ordeals. The more actual time they have to sell cars is directly related to how long they spend managing the Internet store and looking for ways to stay competitive. OnePoint Management off-loads all the overhead (and that’s expensive overhead) to us and we work hand-in-hand with the dealership to provide the buffer, the management, the piece of mind to ISMs and GM’s, that knowledgeable Internet marketers and sales professionals are ‘handling it’.
We like to say we provide our dealerships ‘one throat to choke’.
So, if your dealership is over taxing your ISM or i f your dealership doesn’t have an ISM or you just need help, give the specialists at Carfeine a call and sign-up for OnePoint Management.
