Home / Compare
Compare providers on what you need.
Choosing a website provider is a long commitment. Here are the questions we'd ask any provider, including us, and how Leadbox answers each one.
How to compare, step by step.
Five steps that work whoever you end up choosing.
- 01List what has to connect
Your DMS, inventory feeds, OEM program, CRM and any online retailing tool. Ask each provider to confirm every one in writing.
- 02Test with your own inventory
Search, vehicle pages, forms and the phone experience, using your real units, not a demo store.
- 03Ask who changes what, and how fast
What your team can edit, what the provider does for you, and how long a change takes.
- 04Write down the whole cost
What is included, what is extra, who owns the site and the data, and what moving away would take.
- 05Run every provider through the same scenarios
A new unit arriving, a price change, an OEM incentive, a missed call. Watch each one handle them live.
The questions, and our answers.
Ask every provider the same questions. Where we don't offer something, we say so.
- WebsitesHow far can the design go, and who makes changes after launch?
- Start from a theme, build your own layout from components, or go fully custom. Our designers update your offers monthly.
- Inventory managementIs an inventory system included, or is it extra?
- The Leadbox IMS is included with every website: VIN decode, up to 60 photos, rebates, an inventory health report and syndication.
- DMS and feedsDoes it take inventory from the DMS and feeds you already use?
- Inventory comes in from your DMS or the inventory feed you already use. Connecting a new one is part of onboarding.
- OEM programsIs the provider certified for your manufacturer's program?
- Certified for Toyota, Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, GM, Stellantis, and Kia (SEO and advertising). Honda and Acura sites built to Brand Fundamentals.
- Online retailingCan shoppers start a deal online?
- Not a Leadbox product.
- AdvertisingWho runs the ads, on which channels, from which inventory feed?
- Google, Meta, YouTube, TikTok and streaming TV, planned monthly, with inventory ads from the IMS feed. Highbeam and LeadReel too.
