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.

Improving speed of sale by providing car buyers with all the confidence they need to commit to a purchase. Here’s how we’ve increased car buyer confidence:
