Frequently Asked Questions
Content is information that a buyer needs in order to purchase. It can be educational or promotional.
SocialSmart is a unique strategy that consists of publishing content on your site and social media.
Useful information has always addressed a buyer’s important challenges. Instead of talking to salespeople first (which many are unlikely to do now), your content attracts, engages and educates. It answers questions people have and it even answers questions they didn’t think to ask!
SocialSmart content makes you a credible, authoritative resource on topics that matter to potential customers. Your business is more likely to get discovered by the right customer and earn their loyalty and trust— which, in turn, enables your store to strengthen its customer relationships, grow an active and engaged customer base, and even increase its profits.
It’s simple: Google and Facebook are where 98% of car buyers are. The best way to reach them is through content on your site and social media.
This is where many of our competitors come up short. To determine the effectiveness of your content, we first define what success means for your organization, then decide which KPI’s (key performance indicators) show whether your content efforts are moving the needle in the right direction.
It takes time for content to start ranking in search, which means it will take time for people to start finding your content.
SocialSmart content is consistently published content that both people and search engines find useful and you should start to see results at around the six-month mark.
SocialSmart’s goal is to educate and entice customers to your site and social media. We’ve found that through 25 years in auto retail, the most common topics to write about are:
- Car buying tips
- Car loan and other financing questions
- Trade-in questions
With SocialSmart content, we require a minimum monthly budget for Facebook ads. We promote your content to specific audiences (target customers) that are most likely in-market.
