Demo Craigslist Posting For Auto Dealers

Yes, a lot has changed. Craigslist Auto now charges $5 per listing and uses algorithms to filter out “junk postings” and help Craiglist search results be more relevant to the consumer. Instead of basing which listings show first solely on what time they were posted, vehicle posts can now “beat the clock”: older posts can show first by simply being more appealing and being optimized to satisfy the Craigslist algorithm.

Craigslist Auto now uses an algorithm to decide which vehicle listings should show at the top of the Search Results Page (SRP). And our program has nailed that algorithm using data and science, A/B/C testing hundreds of variations of listing templates to see which one is truly the “champion” when it comes to getting to the top of the SRP.

1. 1.  Everything we do is based on data and science: not gut feelings.
2. 2.  Our design templates beat any other competitors’.
3. 3.  We include “Smart Reporting” with call tracking and by-vehicle reporting for your market.
4. 4.  Our system knows the best time and day to post each vehicle.
6. 5.  We offer Sub-Prime Targeting for free.

• +  167 phone calls
• +  428 clicks to site
• +  11 emails
• +  1 text leads
• +  11 cars sold

We run the average listing 30 days. Our posting schedule is as follows:

Day 1: 40% of Dealer Inventory is posted, selected by which vehicles are “trending” in your dealership’s market, so that we rank when a user searches for a specific keyword. (82% of Craigslist shoppers use this option).

Day 2-30: Remainder of Dealer Inventory is posted. This ensures your inventory is at the top of the SRP for users who aren’t using the search box.
