Dealer AI Visibility is an independent measurement initiative from Dealer Growth Hackers, a Miami-based, operator-led marketing and growth firm serving U.S. franchise dealers.
Why we built it
Car shoppers increasingly ask AI systems where to buy, who to trust, and which dealership can meet a specific need. Most dealers have no practical way to see what those systems can reach, what they misunderstand, or which public sources shape the answer.
Dealer AI Visibility turns that uncertainty into evidence. The free scan checks the public signals a dealership controls or can influence. The optional live Answer Audit records what supported AI providers say at a specific point in time. The report separates what was observed from what still requires human verification.
Evidence first
A missing fact receives no invented credit. Every automated finding should point back to observable public evidence.
Dealer controlled
The goal is not another opaque vendor score. It is a clear list of signals a dealer, agency, or website provider can inspect and improve.
Honest limits
AI answers change by platform, model, location, prompt, date, and source availability. A scan is a diagnostic, not a ranking guarantee.
Who is behind it
Dealer Growth Hackers works alongside dealer principals on marketing strategy, technology, operations, vendor accountability, and the systems that determine how a dealership grows over time. Founder Ariel Coro created the original Dealer AEO Audit framework and the methodology that powers Dealer AI Visibility.
This initiative is independent. Dealer AI Visibility is not sponsored, endorsed, or operated by OpenAI, Google, Perplexity, Anthropic, Microsoft, an OEM, or a dealership website platform. Product and company names are used only to identify the systems being observed.
