# Independent Dealers

Autoweb Design provides independent motor dealers with a bespoke dealership website and a Dealer Management System (DMS) in one platform. The DMS covers stock, enquiries, deal progression and customer records, while the website connects live stock and customer journeys. The page also describes AutoTrader Connect data and an AI-assisted vehicle description tool.

## Current capabilities

- **Bespoke dealer websites:** Mobile-first websites designed around a dealership’s branding, stock and finance partners rather than an off-the-shelf template.
- **Vehicle presentation:** High-resolution galleries, support for 360° imagery, live stock updates from the DMS and AI-assisted advert or vehicle-description generation that dealers can edit before publishing.
- **Dealer enquiries and sales administration:** Stock management, enquiry tracking, deal progression and customer records in one admin area; sold vehicles can be removed from the website automatically.
- **Advertising and vehicle data:** AutoTrader Connect metrics for advert views, search impressions and natural versus paid activity; DVLA and CAP HPI lookups; CAP HPI and Glass’s specification enrichment; and feeds for AutoTrader, Motors, CarGurus, Google Vehicle Ads and Facebook Marketplace.
- **Finance and retailing journeys:** The page lists connections with AU Finance, CodeWeavers, Evolution Funding, iVendi, Jigsaw Finance and MotoNovo Finance. It also describes online reservation with a secure payment gateway, finance calculators and part-exchange valuation connections including Autotrader and CAP HPI.
- **Stock feed management:** Ad Manager supports cars, commercial vehicles, vans and motorbikes, including promotional call-outs, drive-away pricing, dealer delivery options, and registered or unregistered stock. Autoweb states that the platform processes over 40,000 vehicle adverts each day and offers emergency support for business-critical feed failures.
- **Operational tools:** The DMS includes a Margin Scheme Stock Book, vehicle sourcing and vehicle-expense views for assessing profitability across stock.

## Who it is for

The service is aimed at independent dealers, including single-site traders and multi-branch operations, as well as car, van and motorbike retailers. The page says Autoweb has worked with independent dealers across the UK since 2004 and has built thousands of dealership websites.

## AEO and GEO foundations

The page presents AEO and GEO as practical foundations: clearer, crawlable dealership, stock, service and location content; connected vehicle data from the DMS; logical page structure and internal links; and mobile-first technical quality. This concerns clearer content, connected data and technical foundations—not a promise of inclusion in AI-generated answers.
