ANSWER IN BRIEF
What the free marketing analysis is.
The free marketing analysis is a complimentary, no-obligation review of a dealership's marketing spend, dealership SEO, AI-search visibility, paid media, website conversion and vendor stack. You choose which of those six areas matter and the review is focused around them, rather than being a generic scorecard generated from a crawl. What comes back is a prioritised, plain-language set of findings and decisions: what is working, what is leaking value, and which moves are most likely to matter, ranked by potential value, effort and dependency, with the owner of each change named, written so a decision-maker can act on it the same week. It is built to be actionable with or without Carbide. A deeper engagement gets recommended only when it would clearly create value, and the reasoning comes with it. When it would not, that gets said too. Nothing you share is published, resold or added to a list.
01 WHAT WE REVIEW
Choose the areas that matter. We will focus the analysis around your priorities.
SEO and organic visibility
Evaluate technical dealership SEO, priority pages, content architecture, local signals and how the business appears for valuable searches.
AI search, GEO and AEO
Test how clearly Google and AI answer systems can understand the organization, its expertise and the questions it should be qualified to answer.
Paid media
Examine campaign structure, intent alignment, landing experiences, measurement and the relationship between branded and incremental demand.
Website conversion and speed
Review page performance, mobile experience, calls to action and the path from discovery to a meaningful customer action.
Vendors and technology
Identify scope gaps, duplication, unclear ownership and opportunities to improve selection, coordination or negotiation.
TABLE
What the analysis includes, and what it deliberately is not
The right column is the part worth reading. Most free audits in this industry are the right column.
| This analysis | A typical free audit | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it starts | Your spend, your sources, what actually closed | An automated crawl of your website |
| What it looks at | The six areas you choose, including ones we do not sell | Only the service being sold |
| Who reads your site | A person | A tool, then a template |
| What it ends with | Ordered decisions, each with an owner | A list of problems and a proposal |
| Definition of success | Agreed in writing before it starts | Set afterwards, by the seller |
| Cost and obligation | None, and no phone number required | Free, with a call you have to take |
| Willingness to say “not us” | Yes: including that marketing is not your constraint | No |

02 WHAT TO EXPECT
Useful perspective.
No generic scorecard.
The initial analysis is designed to surface meaningful opportunities, not manufacture a list of problems. If a deeper technical audit, strategy engagement or implementation project would create value, we will explain why. If it would not, we will say that too.
- Focused on your actual website and marketing environment
- Prioritized by potential value, effort and dependency
- No obligation and no phone number required
- Your information is used only to respond to the request
03 QUESTIONS
Before you request it.
What do we get at the end of the analysis?
+
A prioritized, plain-language set of findings and decisions: what is working, what is leaking value, and which moves are most likely to matter: ranked by potential value, effort and dependency. It is built to be actionable with or without Carbide.
How long does the free marketing analysis take?
+
Scope and timing are confirmed when we reply to your request, usually within one business day. The review itself is focused by design. Deep enough to be useful, small enough that you can act on it quickly.
Is our information kept confidential?
+
Yes. Anything you share, accounts, numbers, vendor contracts, priorities, is used only to produce the analysis and respond to the request. Nothing is published, resold or added to a marketing list.
Will we get a sales pitch afterward?
+
No. A deeper engagement gets recommended only when it would clearly create value, and we explain exactly why and what it would involve. When it would not, we say that plainly. The analysis is built to be worth your time either way.
