Resources.

The reference material on this site, in one place. A keyword list with published volume, two calculators that run in the browser on numbers a store already holds, and a free audit that reports which engines name a dealership. None of it is gated.

What is here.

Which one to open first.

The three do different jobs and are worth taking in a particular order. A store that has not yet decided whether search deserves money should start with the ROI calculator, because the break-even arithmetic on a published rate is usually the shortest route to a decision, and the budget benchmark shows what the store is already spending on the same line without having seen an invoice for it.

A store that has decided and wants to know what the work targets should open the keyword list. It is the segmentation the content strategy runs on, and reading it explains why a dealer site needs a page per query class rather than a homepage that ranks for everything.

A store that wants to know where it stands before either of those should request the audit. It supplies the one input both calculators stall on, the non-branded lead split, and reports whether any engine names the store at all, which is the fact the rest of this site is about.

Start with where the store actually stands.

The audit reports non-branded visibility, indexation, and which engines name the store, which is the input everything else on this page assumes. Most stores find the answer to the first question is nobody.
