We are now displaying the IP address for all leads. This is only viewable in the CMS and is not sent to your CRM with the rest of the lead information.
We consolidated the “Add Section” and “Custom Section” area in the Site Content section of the CMS. Previously, when adding a custom section, it automatically created a blank custom page with a generated URL ( i.e.: /custom5.html) which no one used. Now you can add sections the same way you would add a page to the site.

We made two additional improvements to the Specials Builder! The first is the addition of the “All Vehicles of a Selected Transmission” option for specials, and the second is the “Insert From Image Gallery” button which makes inserting specials into images MUCH easier.
One of the most common requests we receive from dealers is to modify their pricing display – everything from what shows, to how things are labeled, to how things are displayed (bold, strike-through etc.), special calculated prices, or rebates. Rather than building in a bunch of preconfigured options, we created the ability for dealers to completely customize their pricing setups. We’ve created a user interface that allows dealers to drag and drop fields, select what data comes from what feed, pricing labels, and how it all is calculated.
We provide many templates that give dealers the ability customize each and every field for their mobile and desktop VDPs and SRPs. This is especially useful for large dealership groups or even states that require strict compliance rules and changes, because we are able to make one change and affect multiple sites at the same time. This level of customization gives dealers unparalleled control of the way their pricing is displayed.
And we’re excited to announce that we can now grant access to the Pricing Tool in our CMS. This is a restricted permission, meaning you must be sufficiently trained on this feature in order to have access. Interested? Give us a call!
We’ve made a small improvement to the Specials Builder in the CMS to make editing existing specials a little easier. There is now a “Reset Filters” button, which will clear all selected options.
The “alt text” field is now a required field for homepage banners. Why are we making this a required field, you ask? First, we’ve been working to make our platform more user friendly for persons with disabilities. Providing alt text for all images helps with this. Second, providing alt text for images is also SEO best practice! Read more about it here.
Our structured data integration now includes improved schema markup for group websites including:
- Name, address, phone number
- Latitude/longitude coordinates
- URL
- Social media profiles
- Reviews
- Hours of operation
Example structured data markup for a group site:
Our platform now has the ability to display new and used inventory on a single search results page. This is only available for custom inventory pages and manufacturer compliance rules should be taken into account when creating these pages.
- Custom search results pages now have the ability to display new and used inventory on the same page.
- Not available on platform SRPs (searchnew.aspx, searchused.aspx).
- Only available for custom content with inventory pages.
- This option will enable an additional option to refine search by “Vehicle Type” (new or used) in refine search options.
