Your Dealer Website

This guide explains how to access, preview, and share your dealership website with customers.

​
Accessing Your Website

Your dealer website is automatically published at your chosen subdomain. To access your website:

1

Find Your Website URL

Your website URL follows this format: yourdealership.goautofire.com, where yourdealership is the subdomain you selected during setup.

2

Quick Access

From your Dashboard, click the “View Website” button to open your dealer site in a new tab.

​
Website Structure

Your dealer website features a streamlined, user-friendly design:

Single-Page Design

A clean, scrollable homepage that contains all key information about your dealership, including:

  • Dealership branding and hero image
  • Featured inventory section
  • About section with dealership details
  • Location map
  • Contact information

Vehicle Detail Pages

Individual pages for each vehicle (accessible at /inventory/{vin}) that include:

  • Vehicle photos in a gallery format
  • Complete specifications
  • Pricing and mileage information
  • Color indicators for exterior/interior
  • Contact information for inquiries

This simplified structure makes your website easier for customers to navigate and for you to maintain.

​
Google My Business Integration

For maximum visibility, connect your AutoFire website with your Google My Business listing:

1

Update GMB Website URL

In your Google My Business dashboard, set your website URL to your AutoFire subdomain (yourdealership.goautofire.com).

2

Verify Information

Ensure your business name, address, phone number, and business hours match between your GMB listing and your AutoFire website.

3

Complete Verification

If you haven’t already, complete Google’s business verification process to ensure your business appears in Maps and local search results.

When properly configured, this integration helps your dealership appear in local searches and can help your inventory appear in vehicle-related searches.

​
Google Vehicle Listings

Your AutoFire website is designed to work with Google Vehicle Listings, which allows your inventory to appear directly in Google search results.

1

Set Up Google My Business

Follow the Google Vehicle Listings onboarding guide to ensure your dealership is properly set up.

2

Structured Data Markup

AutoFire automatically implements the required structured data markup on all your vehicle detail pages, so there’s no additional configuration needed on your part.

AutoFire currently supports Google Vehicle Listings through structured data markup. We are actively working on implementing direct feed file uploads for even better integration with Google’s systems!

​
Sharing Your Website

1

Social Media

Share your website URL on your social media platforms to reach potential customers.

Post direct links to specific vehicles using the individual vehicle URLs (yourdealership.goautofire.com/inventory/) to drive targeted traffic.

2

Business Cards and Signage

Include your website URL on all printed materials and physical signage.

3

Email Signature

Add your website URL to your email signature for easy access by email contacts.

4

Google Search Console

Consider adding your site to Google Search Console to monitor performance and indexing status.

This free tool from Google helps you understand how your website appears in search results and can identify any technical issues.

​
Mobile Experience

Your dealer website is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. It will automatically adjust to provide an excellent experience on smartphones and tablets.

​
SEO and Discoverability

Your dealer bilwebsite is built with search engine optimization in mind:

  • Schema.org markup: Vehicle listings include structured data that helps them appear in Google search results
  • Local business schema: Your dealership information is marked up for better local search visibility
  • Mobile-friendly design: Important for Google rankings as more users search on mobile devices
  • Fast loading speeds: Optimized code and images improve search ranking and user experience
  • Clean URLs: Simple, readable URL structure makes pages more discoverable
  • Custom meta descriptions: Help search engines understand your dealership’s focus

​
Making Updates

Any changes you make to your dealership information, inventory, or website settings are automatically reflected on your live website. There’s no need to manually publish or update your site.

While most changes appear immediately, some updates may take a few minutes to propagate across all systems.

​
Inventory Limit

Remember that AutoFire currently limits each dealership to 10 vehicle listings. Focus on showcasing your best inventory and update regularly as vehicles sell.
