A great website will deliver great results. When done correctly your website will act like an additional location staffed with expert advisors who never sleep and deliver new customers and increased sales. When done poorly, however, it can lose your company business. The four key areas to focus on in designing an effective website are appearance, usability, content and interactivity. Net Driven worked with Penn State University to study how people shop for tires and auto repair services online and came up with these four key areas that are important to creating an online presence that will help your business maintain existing customers and get new ones.
Net Driven is committed to being the leader in web technology for the automotive industry and is finalizing extensive enhancements to both their auto service and tire catalogs. Updates will include images for every auto service that create a visual representation of everything from brakes to alignments. Pat Sandone, Founder of Net Driven, commented, “Our research shows that the repair shop that helps a consumer understand what a particular auto service entails has a drastically increased likelihood of winning that consumers’ business. This visual enhancement to our auto service catalog will help our customers win business in the marketplace more often.”

The Company works with over 1,250 automotive businesses in the United States and Canada.

The word “tire” was searched online over 16 million times in the last month; this simple fact is why search engine optimization (SEO) is important. SEO is the art and science of ranking prominently on Google (and other search engines) in the Natural or Organic Results. Each month, when one of these 16 million searches is performed, your business has an opportunity to connect with new customers looking to buy tires (incidentally over 90% of these customers do not want to buy tires online, but do perform research online). This is analogous to the phone directory 15 years ago; back then buying a full page ad in the “tires” section of the directory would ensure phone calls for your business when consumers in your community were looking for tires. Today, this same logic applies, but consumers are not looking for tires in the phone directory, they are looking for tires online (90%+ look online). Good SEO has all the benefits that a full page phone directory ad once had and more.
