Dealer Communications and Dataium, LLC recognize the top 10 dealership websites, and the technology solution providers behind these platforms. More than 3,000 automotive dealership websites nationwide were evaluated using objective metrics to determine the recently announced winners of the Spring 2013 Digital Dealer Website Excellence Awards. The winning technology vendors were congratulated at the 14th Digital Dealer Conference & Exposition.
“Dealer Communications and Dataium feel it is important to measure and recognize – both the dealerships and their technology solution providers — who represent the leading edge in online automotive marketing nationwide,” shared Michael Roscoe, CEO of Dealer Communications “The Digital Dealer Website Excellence Awards bring visibility to what is possible and desirable for all dealers – the implementation of the latest best practices and technology to achieve maximum online sales and revenue growth.”
“We are very proud of these awards because they are the first of their kind in that they are purely data driven and statistically based” commented President and Co-Founder of Dataium, LLC Jason Ezell. “Often dealers think that all websites are created equal, but through our analytics, we see a spread of lead to visitor ratio between 1.6% and 12%. All the websites evaluated for the Digital Dealer Website Excellence Awards are measured on the same criteria, and there is a distinct difference between high and low performing websites. We want to recognize that.”
