@GuyDealership It’s amazing to see Savvy Dealer's research getting the attention it deserves. As AI continues to shape the automotive buyer journey, it’s critical that dealers are AI-ready

[Car Dealership Guy @GuyDealership]

[NEWS] Most dealership websites still don’t exist to AI search:

Savvy Dealer tested 100 dealer sites to see how they show up when shoppers ask tools like ChatGPT where to buy.

But only 14 were truly AI-ready.

The average score was actually just 34 out of 100.

Meaning, AI often can’t tell who the dealer is, what they sell, or where they’re located.

That’s partly because many sites block AI crawlers outright.

And even when they don’t, most lack the structured data AI needs to understand inventory, services, and location.

The signal: More shoppers are asking AI where to buy next.

But if AI can’t read your site, you’re not part of that conversation.

When someone asks ChatGPT "best dealerships near me," will your name come up? Without GEO, probably not. Traditional SEO alone isn't enough anymore. Bridge the gap: https://t.co/7FweuAQuLC

@JLas43_ 5 or 6 Gardner's

[Nicholas Chivinski @NChivinski]

US search is fragmented: only 11% trust the first tool they use. Shoppers now bounce across Google (45%), AI (15%), reviews (14%)—and 73% used AI search more this year (45% daily). Auto Dealers: shift from SEO to GEO (be cited), double down on reviews, and make VDPs link‑worthy.

[Nicholas Chivinski @NChivinski]
