Improved sort order Quicker buying journeys More leads for you
Our new relevance-based search saves your potential customers time by showing the most relevant adverts to them. Here’s what it means for you:
- Buyers can find the right car, at the right price as adverts are sorted by quality rather than being the cheapest.
- We’ve shifted away from ‘lowest priced first’, so you can get ahead by focusing on the quality of your adverts.
- These changes have increased the number of leads delivered to retailers, as customers can more quickly find the right cars for them.
