Industry Challenges
Common Challenges We See Across the Automotive Industry
You're not losing deals because your coverage is weak. You're losing them because buyers can't find you, don't trust what they see, or choose competitors with better online presence. This is especially true for protection plans, extended coverage, and service contracts where trust determines whether a conversation ever happens.
Strong offerings with limited visibility
You provide valuable coverage or service options, but competitors dominate search results and comparison queries.
Reviews influence revenue quietly
A small number of outdated, misleading, or unaddressed reviews can stall inbound interest, especially for protection plans where skepticism already exists.
Inconsistent brand signals across platforms
Differences between websites, listings, ads, and search summaries create hesitation, even when the product itself is solid.
Buyers decide before they call
Customers researching protection plans form opinions and make decisions before ever requesting a quote or speaking to a representative.
"If this feels familiar, it does not mean the business is underperforming. It means the digital narrative is not yet aligned."
