CarGurus’ 2018 in review: company milestones, dealer events, top content, and more
2018 was a banner year for us here at CarGurus: we officially became the fastest growing auto shopping site in the country,1 our Gurus held and attended dealer events across the country, and we launched lots of new content to help you sell more cars!
We took a moment to reflect on everything we did in 2018, and here are some of the highlights.
Updates to the Removed Listing Activity tab make attribution easier
At CarGurus, we’re working hard to give our dealers better tools to solve the challenge of attribution. We recently launched an update to our Dealer Dashboard that should make it easier for dealers to see which CarGurus leads bought a vehicle.
Lead details added to Removed Listing Activity section
The Removed Listing Activity section isn’t so much new as it is improved. This section lets dealers see their recently sold/removed listings, along with a breakdown of all the CarGurus leads and connections for those vehicles. What’s new is that we’ve added the details of those leads so it’s easier for dealers to tie a specific lead to the sale of a particular vehicle.
Find the pricing sweet spot with new Pricing Tool updates
We’re working hard to give our dealers more and better tools. We recently launched a few updates to our dealer dashboard that should make it easier for dealers to get the most out of our platform.
