Frequently asked questions
What is a Car Dealer SEO ROI Calculator?
It is a free estimation tool that turns a few dealership assumptions into a projected return from organic search. You enter monthly search volume, an expected ranking position, click-through rate, website conversion rate, lead-to-sale rate and average profit per vehicle, and it estimates monthly visitors, enquiries, vehicle sales and profit.
How is estimated SEO traffic calculated?
Estimated monthly visitors are calculated as monthly search volume multiplied by organic CTR, divided by 100. So 5,000 searches at a 10% click-through rate gives an estimate of 500 visitors per month.
What is organic CTR?
Organic click-through rate is the share of searchers who click a listing after seeing it in the unpaid Google results. It usually falls as your ranking position drops, which is why selecting a different position in the calculator suggests a different default CTR. You can always type your own figure from Google Search Console.
How are enquiries calculated?
Estimated monthly enquiries are estimated visitors multiplied by your website conversion rate, divided by 100. An enquiry here means any dealership lead, such as a finance application, part-exchange valuation, test drive request, call or form submission.
How are estimated vehicle sales calculated?
Estimated vehicle sales are your estimated enquiries multiplied by your lead-to-sale rate, divided by 100. The result is often a decimal, such as 2.25 sales, because it represents an average across a month rather than a whole-unit count.
Can SEO ROI be guaranteed?
No. Search rankings, click-through rates and buyer behaviour all change, and no tool can promise a specific outcome. This calculator models the assumptions you enter so you can compare scenarios, and the output should be treated as an estimate rather than a forecast or a guarantee.
Is this calculator free?
Yes. The Car Dealer SEO ROI Calculator is completely free to use, with no usage limits and no payment at any stage.
Do I need to sign up?
No. There is no account, no email capture and no signup. Everything runs in your browser, so your numbers stay on your device.
