SEO, Performance, and Usability Improvements

Enhanced Platform Features

Over the last several weeks, we have introduced a number of new features to improve the overall functionality and user engagement on dealership websites.

General Improvements

  • JSON+LD Structured Data Integration: We've implemented JSON+LD structured data on both inventory and home pages for all dealerships. This update is designed to enhance content visibility and interaction through richer search results in Google SERPs. Learn more about structured data.

  • Enhanced Text Editor: The text editor now supports embedding YouTube videos and creating tables, offering more versatility in content creation.

  • New CTA(9) Page Builder Row

Granular Dealership Control

  • Lock Pricing Options: Dealers can now choose whether or not they want to display pricing on their website - providing greater flexibility and control over how pricing information is displayed.

  • Validating Lead Emails and Phone Numbers: To ensure higher quality leads, we've added the capability to validate lead emails and phone numbers directly through the site settings.

Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

  • Auto Image Alt Text Improvement: Our auto alt text for images has been enhanced to exclude brand names and pricing information, reducing the likelihood of an incorrect caption.

  • API Caching and Server Performance: Significant improvements have been made to API caching and server performance, reducing Time to First Byte (TTFB) and enhancing overall site responsiveness.

  • Balanced H1 Texts: Automatic balancing of H1 texts across pages has been improved, ensuring better SEO and user readability.

  • Inventory Navigation Bug Fix: Resolved an issue where navigating between inventory pages with different filters caused display errors.
