MCP. A2A. LLMs.txt. AI Search. Agentic browsing… The list of new AI terms, technologies, and best practices seems to grow by the day. But which ones actually matter for dealerships, and what should you and your website provider be doing about them?

In Part 1 of our AI in Automotive webinar series, we’ll make sense of the technology behind an AI-ready dealership website. We’ll break down foundational elements like structured data, crawlability, and site architecture, along with newer concepts like LLMs.txt.

We’ll also demystify emerging practices including MCP, Web MCP, A2A, and A2UI, explaining what they are, how they could apply to automotive, and why they’re worth understanding.

Today’s automotive shoppers expect more than a one-size-fits-all website experience. They arrive with different goals, different timelines, and different ways of engaging with your dealership—and not all of them are filling out lead forms. As lead volume fluctuates across the industry, creating meaningful digital experiences for every shopper has never been more important.

In this webinar, we explored practical strategies dealerships can use to create personalized online shopping experiences that increase engagement, build trust, and encourage action—whether that action is a phone call, a service appointment, a lead submission, or a visit to the showroom.

You’ll learn how to better understand shopper behavior, reduce friction throughout the buying journey, and deliver more relevant experiences that help turn website visitors into customers.

Search is changing fast. In this conversation, our VP of Product Management, Tina Cuatto and Gary Ladue of Modern Automotive discuss how SEO, GEO, and AI-driven discovery are beginning to overlap, and what that means for dealers trying to stay visible across Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews, and other emerging search experiences.

The discussion focuses on what dealers can control today: structured data, schema, robots.txt, trusted AI crawler access, LLMS.txt files, localized content, reputation signals, backlinks, PR, Google Business Profile accuracy, and content built around real shopper intent. It also challenges “guaranteed” LLM visibility claims, encouraging dealers to ask for proof, data, and transparency before buying into AI search promises.

As more shoppers use AI search, the way customers discover dealerships is evolving – what does this mean for your online strategy?

In this webinar, you’ll gain actionable insights on how to measure and improve your AI search presence from prompt to performance. We’ll show how to identify whether your dealership appears in AI-driven search, which prompts and queries are influencing that presence, and how to begin measuring performance using tools like Google Analytics 4.

We’ll walk through a practical, data-driven framework for connecting AI search visibility to real performance, uncovering opportunities, and making the right updates to improve over time. You’ll also gain clarity on what your team can control and where your partners play a role.
