Q&A COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions dealers ask first

Can Carbide replace our current marketing agency?

+

Yes. Carbide takes over SEO, advertising and reporting from an agency, and works alongside your website vendor. The free analysis shows where your budget goes and what is working. The budget then moves to the channels that earn it.

How do I know if my dealership's marketing is working?

+

Ask every vendor for the same three numbers: leads, appointments and cost per lead, by channel. If you only get traffic and impressions, you cannot tell what your budget is doing. Reports from separate dashboards will not add up.

What is the difference between car dealer SEO, GEO and AEO?

+

SEO earns visibility in Google results. GEO, generative engine optimization, makes your dealership a source AI tools like ChatGPT use in their answers. AEO, answer engine optimization, writes direct answers to the questions shoppers ask. All three start with crawlable pages and useful content.

How can a dealership show up in ChatGPT and Google AI answers?

+

AI tools quote pages that answer the question clearly. They need your dealership, location and inventory stated accurately, and they favor sources they trust. That means answer-first pages, consistent business listings and real reviews. It is not a trick.

What does the free marketing analysis cover?

+

Your marketing spend, SEO and organic visibility, AI search readiness, paid media, website conversion, and your vendors and technology. You pick the areas that matter most. The reply comes by email.

Who does Carbide work with?

+

Car dealerships and dealer groups across the United States, working remotely. Carbide also builds custom software and AI for companies in other industries.

05 / SPANISH CONTENT

Spanish SEO and content for dealerships

Nearly every dealership website offers Spanish. Nearly all of them do it with a translation widget, which leaves no page for a search engine to index, rank or quote. Carbide writes real Spanish pages instead: model research, financing and process, and a Spanish way through your store, built from how Spanish-speaking shoppers actually search.
