Many cookie cutter dealership website vendors don’t allow for additional wording on your Homepage and sub-pages other then the usual default generic text they supply. And if they do, most dealers never take advantage of having the power to change or add text. Below is an example of a generic writing that I copied from a another dealerships websites credit application page.
“For information on your personal financing options, please fill out the information requested below, and then click on the “Submit” button.”
BORING!! There’s nothing persuasive about this. Not to mention, the dealership website that I just copied this from used a size 8 font; too small for most people to even read.
Here is what I would suggest:
“We here at ABC Motors offer the Best financing options available for our customers. Our team of in house financial consultants work EXTRA hard, hand in hand with the largest and most competitive banks to be sure you receive the truly competitive rate. So before you visit your local bank LET US WORK FOR YOU!
Take a few seconds and fill our Secure Online Credit Application. We’ll have you an answer in less then 1 hour! -during business hours of course.
Come ‘on…does this really makes a difference you ask? Of course it does! It can and does effect your websites overall conversion.
Another area that copy makes a HUGE difference is in your vehicles description page. This can be a tough and overwhelming task for larger dealers but if you have the ability to do so…take the time to write a descriptive paragraph about the vehicle you have for sale.
Example:
We are confident that you’re going to love this Honda S2000 Convertible.

It’s a great idea to have every page on your dealership website with wording that is personal and enticing. Be creative and distinguish your dealership website from all the other run of the mill dealership websites.
