Half your leads are going uncounted. Bad tracking means bad decisions — and wasted budget on channels that aren't actually working.
Schedule a Strategy CallAfter this, you know exactly where your site leaks leads.
GA4 reviewed against ASC standards. Every gap documented.
After this, small conversion wins keep stacking into big lead gains.
Monthly health checks. OEM co-op compliance reports generated.
After this, your forms, CTAs, and VDPs follow what Google's data says converts.
ASC-compliant events, call tracking, and UTM structure deployed.
We start by mapping every conversion path on your site — forms, phone numbers, chat widgets, trade-in tools, scheduling modules — and testing whether each one actually fires a GA4 event.
Most dealership sites have 3–5 lead sources that aren't being tracked at all. Some have events firing twice on the same action. Both make your reports unreliable.
You get a gap analysis showing exactly what's counted, what's missed, and what's double-counted — ranked by lead volume impact.
GA4's event-based model is powerful — but only if your events are configured correctly. Most dealership GA4 setups are either using default events that miss automotive-specific actions or running legacy UA configurations that GA4 doesn't process properly.
We configure custom events for every ASC-defined conversion type: form submissions, phone calls, chat initiations, service appointments, trade-in valuations, and finance applications.
Each event includes parameters for source, medium, campaign, page URL, and device — so attribution works across every dimension your GM needs to see.
Phone calls still drive 40–60% of dealership leads, yet most sites either don't track calls at all or track every call equally — a 12-second misdial and a 4-minute sales conversation count the same.
We deploy dynamic number insertion with duration-based qualification. Calls under 60 seconds are filtered. Qualified calls are attributed to the exact page and traffic source that drove them.
The result: your GA4 reports show real phone leads — not inflated counts from wrong numbers and spam.
Your site has 5–10 different form types: contact, trade-in, finance, service appointment, test drive, and more. Most dealership tracking lumps them all into one generic 'form_submit' event — or worse, only tracks the thank-you page view.
We tag each form type individually with ASC-compliant event names, then layer in deduplication logic that catches bot submissions, double-clicks, and auto-fill spam.
Your reports show exactly how many real leads each form generated — broken down by form type, traffic source, and landing page.
Chat tools generate leads — but most dealership GA4 setups don't track chat conversions at all. The chat vendor reports their own numbers, and nobody verifies them against GA4.
We integrate your chat platform (CDK, Podium, LivePerson, Gubagoo, or others) with GA4 event tracking so every qualified chat conversation fires a conversion event with full source attribution.
Now your chat leads show up in the same GA4 reports as your form fills and phone calls — apples to apples, same attribution model.
The hardest conversion to track is the one that happens in person. A buyer searches your dealership on their phone, drives to the lot, and never fills out a form. Traditional tracking calls that a zero-conversion visit.
We implement store visit estimation models using Google Ads data, geo-fencing triggers, and CRM cross-referencing to attribute walk-in traffic back to the digital touchpoints that drove it.
It's not perfect — no walk-in tracking is. But it's a significant step closer to understanding your full conversion funnel instead of pretending offline doesn't exist.
CDK, DealerSocket, VinSolutions, ELead — we've integrated tracking with all of them. We know which CRM fields map to which GA4 events and where the data breaks.
Every event name, parameter, and attribution rule follows Automotive Standards Council guidelines. Your tracking passes OEM compliance audits and supports co-op reimbursement.
No proprietary dashboards that lock you in. No vanity metrics from third-party tools. Everything lives in your GA4 account — you own the data, period.
Less than 1 hour a month from your side. We handle the audit, the implementation, the validation, and the reporting. You review results.
ASC (Automotive Standards Council) conversion guidelines define how dealerships should track and attribute leads across digital channels. They standardize what counts as a conversion — form fills, qualified phone calls, chat interactions, and walk-ins — so every report uses the same definitions. Without them, your GA4, CRM, and ad vendors all report different numbers.
It's included in our plans starting at $2,995/month. No separate setup fees. No contracts. The conversion audit, implementation, validation, and ongoing monitoring are all part of the engagement. You'll know the exact scope before anything starts.
Full ASC-compliant tracking is typically live within 60–90 days. Month 1 is the audit and gap analysis. Month 2 is implementation and event deployment. Month 3 is validation and CRM reconciliation. Ongoing monitoring starts immediately after validation.
Yes. We implement tracking across Dealer.com, DealerOn, DealerInspire, Sincro, and every other major automotive platform. We also integrate with CDK, DealerSocket, VinSolutions, and ELead CRMs. No platform changes required.
We audit it. In our experience, 90%+ of dealership GA4 setups have tracking gaps — missed form types, no call tracking, duplicate events, or misconfigured attribution. Even if your setup looks functional, the audit typically uncovers 3–5 lead sources that aren't being counted properly.
Increasingly, yes. OEM programs are tightening co-op requirements around verified conversion tracking. ASC-compliant GA4 events are becoming the standard for proving that your marketing spend generated measurable results. We generate compliance reports that support your co-op reimbursement submissions.
The audit takes 30 minutes and it's free. We'll pull your data, show you who's winning, and give you a plan — whether you hire us or not.
