22. How Car Shoppers Engage with
VINs How many pictures
viewed? Video
watched?
Did they scroll to the
bottom to read the
details?
Did they cross-shop?
Did they click on a 3P
widget that took them
to another site?
What are potential GA
blindspots?

27. 1. What are Goals?
• Behaviors performed by site
visitors that demonstrate valuable
actions
• Which actions correlate to sales?
2. The Importance of Setting Goals
• Setting goals allows you to see
shopping behavior from all traffic
sources
• Shopping behavior data can differ
from site wide data

28. Goal 1 - New Vehicle Detail Page
View
Goal 2 - Used Vehicle Detail Page
View
Goal 3 - CPO Vehicle Detail Page
View
Goal 4 - Website Lead
Goal 5 - Click to Call from
SRP/VDPs
Goal 6 - Customer Chat or Text

35. 1. Benchmark VDPs at 1.00
• Highly correlative with sales
• Rule of thumb – 30 VDPs = 1 sale
2. Website Leads
• Only about 1-3% of site traffic converts
to an email lead
• Correlates with sales, but not as highly
as VDPs
• Approximate leads/total sales = 1.5 to
2.0
@DealerOn
@ElianaRaggio
@LotLinx
@DaveSpannhake
36. 3. Website Lead Value
• 30 VDPs/1.5 leads = 20.00
3. Chat Value
• Chats generate leads around 75-80%
• 20.00 x 75% = 15.00
3. Trade Appraisal & Finance
Events
• 18% of trade appraisal and credit apps
initiated on site become leads
• 20.00 x 18% = approximately 4.00@DealerOn
