Google Business Profile

google-business-profile-dealer-3

Optimize GBP for visibility and engagement

The Google Business Profile (GBP) is an auto dealer's most important online interface. Optimization of the GBP results in greater visibility across all Google surfaces and deepens engagement with shoppers. Dealers should be operating distinct GBPs for sales, service, and parts to maximize their visibility. dbaPlatform is the authority on GBP optimization and will deliver a quantifiable lift in GBP visibility and engagement.

Apple Business Connect

apple-biz-connect

The new player on the block

Apple Business Connect (ABC) is Apple’s newly launched answer to Google Business Profiles.

Search results

vl-goog-search-4

Free vehicle listings on Google search results

Google led the market in offering free vehicle listings at scale with their Vehicles for Sale (VfS) program.

The Local Jumpstart program enables the timely delivery of accurate and optimized feeds, maximizing their impact on dealer KPIs.

Business Profile

LOCAL ADVERTISING

Vehicle ads

Product ads
