Every day consumers turn to search engines to do research and to get ideas and suggestions related to their vehicle. Consumers then use this research to make informed decisions on what options are available to them. Search engine marketing (SEM) capitalizes on these searches by placing targeted advertisements for your dealership directly in front of consumers while they are in the process of searching. Utilizing digital marketing, whether it be SEM, Display or video advertising, can help your dealership’s website attract more consumers in your market and help convert these searches into leads.
The Toyota Parts & Service Dealer SEM Program includes several provider options to manage a dealer’s digital marketing efforts. Each provider package includes a recommended minimum keyword list and bidding strategy to optimize Dealer search performance.
