The Inventory list has a ‘Needs Attention’ filter, which shows your vehicles in inventory that are missing photos and descriptions. From here, choose any vehicle from this list.


Adding Photos and Videos

On the Vehicle Detail Page, click the Media tab to add media like photos and videos, which will be displayed on your various advertising sites when you post this vehicle online.

When writing descriptions for the vehicle, it’s important to be thorough. People do read them. It’s crucial to tackle all the modalities of how people take in information. Some customers only look at photos, some read descriptions, and some want videos. Your goal as a dealer is to ensure you engage or communicate with the customer in every possible way, even without talking to them. Think about all those special features that the vehicle might have, like a backup camera or heated seats. These details are important.

Remember, the more information you provide, the more engaged your potential customers will be.
