Testimonials

Larry Battison of Battison Auto Group – “Joe and Gilbert from Dealer Knows performed an Internet marketing analysis for us.  This analysis helped us understand where we could improve, what else we could be doing and cut through the information bias from different vendors.  They helped us decide where we should be spending our internet marketing budget.  Through their templates and process training, we’ve doubled our closing ratio from 6% to 11.5% in just two and a half months.  We cut out some poor performing programs and added others that made more sense.  We improved our SEO performance dramatically, which increased our website traffic, where the real good leads come from.  We also nearly doubled our lead to show percentages.  Above all, they helped us cut through the clutter and understand Internet marketing.”
