We adjust several dealership metrics on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis for optimal performance with minimal spending. Lowering a dealership’s “Cost-per-Click” is an efficient and direct way to reduce expenses.
Website visits and leads increased, but the cost to acquire leads actually decreased quickly… and by more than half! In July the average cost per lead was $23.99. It only took one month to lower the cost to $10.79, and was lowered even more over the next two months. With the eBizAutos Elite Platform lowering the cost per lead, this Mercedes-Benz dealership received more for less.
