Uk Car Dealer websites not focussing Search Engine Optimisation for success
Many of the web design companies creating websites for used car dealers are not focusing at all on SEO and Search Engine Marketing - research has found.
This puts Dealers at a major disadvantage because, it ultimately means they will not be found by 1000's of potential customers.
There are many companies offering Search Engine Management and Optimisation but few have real, tangeable knowledge of how the car industry works which is vital for helping dealerships succeed - this is where Dealerplus offers a clear advantage to help you sell more vehicles.

Fiat 500 launched
The reinvention of an icon-fifty years on!!!!
A heavily styled fashion object, majoring on desirability and build quality offering no less than 549,396 different possible spec combinations for a new 500,compared to the very first ‘Nuova’500 of 1957, a car so basic it was conceived partly as an alternative to a scooter
Fiat’s extremely cute, retro styling has led the company to take almost one year’s worth of orders already based on the car’s looks alone. Mechanically however, based on the Fiat Panda it is built on the same Polish production line with the next Ford Ka being built alongside.
Entry is with the 1.2 litre 8 valve petrol producing 68bhp,a frugal 1.3 litre Multijet diesel with 74bhp and a range topping 99 bhp 1.4 litre petrol. An Abarth version with 150bhp can be expected in the future.
Interior design quality separates it apart from the Panda. The twin-binnacle speedo/rev counter for example, is one of the may typically Italian, stylish touches
Three engines are available with three trim levels Pop, Sport and Lounge, basics include a CD Player, electric windows and mirrors and a colour-coded exterior.
It’s excellent initial value for money,plus owners should benefit from string residuals
