fusionZONE Alternative for Car Dealerships

Keep the search visibility you earned and add exclusive local leads, a phone system that records and transcribes every call, and reporting that follows each lead to the deal.

fusionZONE Automotive is a dealer website and digital marketing company. Its public positioning leans on search: dealership websites built for organic visibility and page speed, search engine optimization and content, paid search management, and reporting on how shoppers find and move through the site. Stores that chose it often did so because they wanted to rank well in their market and wanted a partner that talks about search in detail.

Search visibility is worth paying for. A store that shows up when a local shopper types a model and a city name gets first look at a buyer who is already close to a decision. The conversations that lead a store to look at alternatives usually start after that point: the shopper found the site, and the store wants to be sure every one of those visits gets a fast, personal answer and shows up in a report the general manager believes.

Services, packaging and pricing change over time. Confirm current pricing and terms with the vendor directly and get the scope of every monthly line item in writing.

The pattern we hear from stores that call us is consistent. The rankings are fine. The site is quick. The month still ends with a gap between what the traffic report promised and what the sales board shows.

Search brings the shopper, and then the handoff starts. A form or a call arrives, and the path to a salesperson runs through an email inbox, a spreadsheet or a phone tree nobody has touched in a while. Stores want every lead in the CRM, assigned and answered, within seconds.

Calls are the invisible channel. Many high intent shoppers call rather than fill a form, and stores want each call tied to a source, recorded, transcribed and on the lead record.

Attribution stops at the form. A report that credits organic search with a lead is useful. A report that follows that lead through the appointment to the deal is what decides next month's budget.

Organic growth takes time. Stores want a second stream of exclusive local shoppers delivered directly, working alongside search while rankings build.

Vendor count. Site, search, CRM, phones and texting from five places means five bills and five logins. One platform, month to month, is simpler to run and simpler to judge.

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 beside your search traffic. In Leads Manager your store draws its zone with the zone editor, reviews zip stats and a market scan, chooses the campaign type, writes the prescreening questions, sets Custom Offers 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.

Speed to lead, built in. Automated Templates text and email each shopper the moment a lead lands, Texting Chatbots handle the first reply at any hour, Follow Up Processes carry a multi step cadence per lead type, and round robin assignment puts a named salesperson on every lead.

Measurement that follows the lead. Visitor analytics inside the CRM, a lead source on every record, tracking numbers per source, and activity, company and management reports that run from the first touch to the deal.

Pages your team can publish today. Lead Pages builds a landing page per offer with its own URL settings, the Website menu edits your site across Business Info, Branding, Menu Links, Social Media, Inventory and Analytics tabs, and custom domains come with a DNS editor you manage yourself. A free live chat widget drops onto any site you run.

The rest of the sale on the same record. DealTracker desking with a 50 state tax matrix, customer deal pages with e-signature, and SecureWebX apply links for secure online credit applications.

Features, packaging and pricing change. Confirm the rows that matter to your store with both vendors before you sign anything.

Search partners report on search, which is fair. What a dealer principal wants is one line of sight from the first visit to the deal, and LeadLocate keeps that line on a single platform.

Visitor analytics inside the CRM shows your traffic overview, realtime visits, sessions, sources, devices, geography and top pages, with a session detail view and site performance. Each form connects through your form intake link, and each source gets its own feed in the Lead Feeds Manager, so a lead from an organic landing page, a campaign page or a third party site arrives labeled with where it came from. Trackable short links in texts record clicks, so a manager can see which follow up messages shoppers actually open.

From there the reports carry it. Activity reporting shows what each salesperson did with each lead. Company reporting shows the store's numbers by source. Management reporting rolls it up for the owner or the group, and the Reports dashboard on the dock keeps the current picture one click away. Custom lead statuses, tags and a lost reason popup mean the record explains why a shopper bought or walked, which is the part of attribution most reports miss.

That is how a store settles the budget conversation with evidence. The page on website lead attribution covers the measurement in detail.

A shopper who calls the store has already done the research. The call is the most valuable conversion a website produces, and the LeadLocate phone system treats it that way.

Every source can carry its own tracking number, so a call from organic search and a call from a campaign page land on the record labeled differently. Inbound calls run through a call flow you design in the IVR builder, with options, revisions and your own uploaded audio. Business hours routing sends evening calls where you choose, the Forward Calls To ring list is built from your own users, the virtual receptionist can screen callers with press 5, and caller ID name lookup shows who is calling before anyone picks up.

Every call is recorded and transcribed, with the transcript in a lightbox right on the lead. Call Alerts with Alert Keywords check each transcribed call for the words your store chooses, such as trade in, payment or cancel, and a manager picks All Calls or Alert Calls Only. Missed call text back answers an unanswered call with a text so the shopper stays in the conversation.

Reps call out from the VoIP softphone in the browser with click to call, or trigger a call that rings their own cell first, and the phone app carries the same dialer and call logs. Recorded voicemail greetings, the Voicemail Drop library and scheduled sends round out the follow up.

Search equity took time to earn, so a move should protect it while the lead engine starts running. This is the order we walk stores through.

1. Connect before you move. Point your current website forms at your form intake link and create a feed per source in the Lead Feeds Manager, so leads flow into the CRM while the site stays exactly where it is.
2. Assign tracking numbers. Give each source its own number and build the call flow in the IVR builder before the first call arrives.
3. Build the team. Add users with the right roles, set notification preferences, and set round robin assignment for each team.
4. Load the cadence. Automated Templates and Follow Up Processes per lead type, ready from the first lead.
5. Draw the zone. Make your Leads Manager selections so exclusive leads arrive beside your search traffic.
6. Plan the storefront carefully. If the site moves, inventory every URL that ranks, map each to its new page with a redirect, and keep the domain registration in the dealership's name.

Our website migration checklist walks through the storefront steps, and video training, Live Training and Schedule Training are included with every plan.

Take one list into every meeting and write the answers down. Who owns the domain, the content and the analytics history if we leave? What is the total monthly cost with everything we use, and what does it renew at? How many minutes pass between a form submission and the first reply from a person? Are calls tracked by source, recorded and transcribed? Are leads included, exclusive to our store, and how is the territory drawn? What happens when a lead is bad?

LeadLocate publishes its answers. Plans are month to month with no long term contract. CRM Only starts at $199 a month, Inbound buyer lead plans at $799, Marketplace Acquisitions seller lead plans at $999 and the Buyers and Sellers Hybrid Plan at $1,599, and every lead plan includes the CRM that receives and works those leads. Accounts are set up for your market, usually the same day, and an inventory feed and DMS access are not required. For franchise stores, LeadLocate runs beside the manufacturer programs your store already uses.

We cannot guarantee lead counts, appointments, close rates or sold units, because those depend on your market, your inventory and your team, and no vendor can. What we deliver is every lead in your zone, an answer in seconds, and a report that follows each lead to the deal. Watch it on real lead flow in the demo, or call 844-376-2274.

Will moving to LeadLocate affect our search rankings?

You control the pace. Forms, calls and leads connect to the CRM while your site stays where it is, and if the storefront moves later you map every ranking URL to its new page with a redirect before launch.

Can we see website traffic inside LeadLocate?

Yes. Visitor analytics in the CRM shows traffic overview, realtime visits, sessions, sources, devices, geography and top pages, right beside the leads that traffic produced.

Are phone calls tracked by source?

Yes. Each source can carry its own tracking number, and every call is recorded and transcribed on the lead, with Call Alerts flagging the keywords your managers choose.

Are the leads exclusive to our store?

Yes. You draw your territory with the Leads Manager zone editor, and 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.

Who runs the lead campaigns?

Our team. Your store makes its selections in Leads Manager and previews sample ads with See Samples, and our team builds and runs the campaigns on the webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan.
