DealerVenom Alternative for Car Dealerships

From the first click to the signed deal on one platform: exclusive local leads, a full CRM, inventory that imports from your website, secure credit applications and deal pages your customers can sign.

DealerVenom is a dealer website and digital marketing company. It is publicly known for dealership websites along with search engine optimization, paid advertising and social media marketing, sold to franchise and independent stores that want one vendor handling their online presence. The site, the traffic work and the reporting usually arrive as a package.

That package gives a store a modern looking site and a partner watching its advertising. The part a dealer principal cares about most, what happens when a shopper calls, texts, applies for credit or asks for numbers, runs through whatever CRM, phones and desking tools the store has assembled alongside it.

Offerings, packaging and pricing change over time. Confirm current services, pricing and contract terms with DealerVenom directly, and bring the questions at the end of this page to that conversation.

Independent stores run lean, and every login the team has to juggle costs time the store does not have. The calls we get from dealers leaving a website vendor usually describe the same afternoon.

A shopper fills out a credit application on one system, the lead arrives in a second, the salesperson texts from a third, and the manager builds the numbers in a spreadsheet. Nobody can see the whole deal in one place, and the customer waits while the store stitches it together.

Inventory is another job. Getting vehicles onto the site means a feed, a photographer and somebody to fix descriptions. Stores without a feed feel stuck.

Lead supply depends on traffic. When the site has a slow week, the phones do too. Dealers want people who asked to be contacted, in their own market, delivered to them alone.

Acquisition matters as much as retail. A used car store lives on the vehicles it can buy, and most website vendors focus on the retail side.

LeadLocate was built for exactly this shape of business: one platform from the first click to the signed deal.

Leave your number and a lead specialist calls you back to answer your questions about pricing, coverage, and setup. Mon - Sat, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Pacific.

Exclusive local leads, buyers and sellers. In Leads Manager your store draws its zone, chooses the campaign type, writes the prescreening questions and previews sample ads with See Samples. Our team builds and runs the campaigns from those selections on the webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan. Every lead in your zone is delivered to you and only you, prescreened at capture with the questions you choose, and backed by a replacement review, so a bad lead costs you nothing. Opt in seller leads come from local owners who asked for an offer on their vehicle.

A full CRM. Lead inbox and distribution with rules, texting with MMS and RCS, email from your own domain, bulk texting and bulk email, voicemail drops, a phone system with IVR, call recording and transcription, and Follow Up Processes that run the cadence for every lead type.

Inventory without a feed. Inventory Link imports inventory from your website and ingests a feed when you have one.

Credit applications and desking on the same login. SecureWebX apply links, DealTracker desking and customer deal pages with e-signature.

Website tools. The Website menu, Lead Pages, personal salesperson websites, a free live chat widget and custom domains with self service DNS.

Features, packaging and pricing change. Confirm anything that drives your decision with each vendor directly before you sign.

An inventory feed and a DMS connection are not required to run LeadLocate, which is why independent stores, brokers and individual salespeople run on it from day one.

When a store has a feed, Inventory Link ingests it and keeps the listings current. When a store has no feed, Inventory Link imports inventory directly from the dealer's own website, recognizing twenty eight website platforms. VIN decode fills in the specifications, and promo photos and stock imagery cover listings that have not been photographed yet, so a unit can go live the day it arrives.

From there the vehicles show up everywhere the store sells. The inventory website builder publishes inventory sites with AI assisted copy, including per salesperson inventory sites from a template. The embeddable widget puts live inventory on any site. Inside the CRM, the vehicle insert button in every text and email composer attaches a unit with photos and price, so a rep answers a question about a truck by sending the truck.

Auto brokers get their own mode: a broker with no lot has brand offer pages connected instantly, with offers, lead forms and a Schedule a Visit sheet that rises from the bottom of the screen on a phone. More on this on our used car dealership CRM page.

For an independent store, the minutes between yes and signed are where deals slip. LeadLocate puts the whole stretch on one login.

SecureWebX takes a five step online credit application covering personal, residence, employment and income details, with co-applicant support, ITIN as well as SSN, a down payment and trade in section, and e-signature with versioned consent. Branded apply links go out by text or sit on your site. In the dealer console, the application inbox tracks status, assignee and notes, stipulations are fulfilled by upload, OFAC screening runs on the record, and adverse action notices generate from the application. Send to Lender shares an application with a lender your store chooses through a code gated, expiring, revocable and watermarked link. Two factor sign in, encryption at rest and an audit log protect every record.

DealTracker handles the numbers. EZ Desking covers cash, finance and lease with a multi pencil grid, a fifty state tax matrix, semimonthly payments, trade credit caps and three lease tax methods, and the universal field set covers buy here pay here as well as retail. The rep sends a customer deal page, brand skinned to your store and protected by a PIN, where the customer reviews the numbers and signs. The deal jacket collects documents by upload or by QR code from a phone camera. See online credit applications for more.

An independent store cannot stop selling for a week to change systems, so the move runs in layers while business carries on.

1. Day one. The account is set up for you, usually the same day. Import contacts, set lead statuses, and connect your website forms to your form intake link so every submission lands in the CRM with the first text sent automatically.
2. First week. Inventory Link brings in your vehicles from your feed or your website. Draw your zone in Leads Manager and write the prescreening questions for buyer and seller campaigns.
3. Second week. Assign tracking numbers, build the IVR call flow, turn on Follow Up Processes, and send your first SecureWebX apply links.
4. Third and fourth weeks. Desk deals in DealTracker, send customer deal pages, and compare time to first response and appointments set against the month before.

One login launches the CRM, SecureWebX, Inventory Link and the My LeadLocate account portal, and the LeadLocate app puts the inbox, dialer, desking and deal jacket on every salesperson's phone. Training comes with every plan: the video library, Live Training and Schedule Training from the top bar. Our migration checklist covers each step in order.

Our pricing is published. Inbound buyer leads start at $799 a month, Marketplace Acquisitions seller leads at $999, and the Buyers & Sellers Hybrid Plan, which delivers both, at $1,599. CRM Only is $199 for stores bringing their own lead sources, and Skip A Month is $199 for a slow stretch. Every plan is month to month with no long term contract, and every plan with leads includes the CRM, because the platform is what receives and delivers them.

Bring the same questions to every vendor, including us. What is the total monthly cost with everything we need, and what does it renew at? Who owns the domain, the content and the ad accounts? What can we export if we leave, and does the communication history come with it? Are leads exclusive to our store, and how is the territory drawn? What happens when a lead is bad? Can a customer apply for credit and review a deal from a phone without calling the store?

We cannot guarantee lead counts, approvals, close rates or sales results, and no vendor can. What we deliver is every lead in your zone, a CRM that answers fast, and a deal flow your customers can finish from their phone. Watch the recorded demo or call 844-376-2274.
