Top 100 car dealers in the UK by Digital Health – A Scoosh report

The Scoosh Report reviews the Top 100 UK Car Dealerships by turnover and also considers their digital health.

With the UK Car Industry moving quickly to eCommerce, car buyers spending more time researching their potential purchases online, and new entrants moving into the UK market (e.g. Cazoo, Carzam, Cinch and  Roadster), car dealerships must move with this trend to remain viable.

An Autotrader report highlights that 7 out of 10 buyers are more likely to choose a car dealership that offers online car buying.

We review the top 100 car dealer groups and diagnose their Digital Health Rank out of a possible 100.

This report allows a comparison between car dealer groups but also to the wider eCommerce world and industry standards and trends.

Extract from Scoosh Car Dealer Report

The following tables are extracts from our report and gives the score out of 100.

The audit uses industry-standard metrics in determining how well a website will perform in terms of generating interest and therefore growing customers.

For a website to perform well it should aim for a score consistently above 70.

Websites that consistently score above 70 will tend to be more successful in generating leads and enquiries from their marketing efforts and are positioning well for e-commerce to represent a larger % of their sales. 

The average of the 100 audited car dealership websites in this list is only 60.

The upside of this is that there are still opportunities for those car dealers to grow online.

The low average figure is also indicative of why new entrants to the market see the opportunities.
