Luxury-brand car dealerships take the top five top spots of the 2019 Pied Piper PSI Internet Lead Effectiveness Benchmarking Study.
The annual by-brand mystery shopping exercise uses various measurements to answer an essential question, “What happens when customers visit a dealer website and inquire about a vehicle?” says Pied Piper CEO Fran O’Hagan.
Dealerships that field those leads the best – from responding quickly to answering a specific question about a vehicle in stock, to using good grammar and correct spelling when replying – are ranked accordingly.
BMW dealers led the pack this year, followed by Acura, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Audi.
