CarDealerPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I use this software on several of our dealership sites and it’s really the best stand alone car inventory plugin currently available for WordPress. The guys at Dealer Trend (the company that makes this product) are great to work with and extremely quick with service and software patches. I’ve built custom front ends for their inventory system with some sites, had them build some and have built entire custom themes that are directly integrated with their plugin inventory database. I cannot say enough good things about this company and their product. I highly recommend both this plugin and the company behind it.

   Waste of time. You add the plugin and then you have to request a demo, before you can use the plugin. Stupid. I visited their homepage, their was no demo

   We made the decision to shift away from “off the shelf” website design and management – choosing to design and build our custom dealership website on the wordpress platform. Inventory display and marketing is the life blood of any dealer so our process began with evaluating ways to display our inventory on our new site. After testing and evaluating every possible way to do this we came back to the CarPress plugin. They have solved the puzzle for you with this plugin that no other solution out there has. If you are in the process of creating a custom website for your dealership do yourself a favor and start with this plugin – there is no other solution that matches this one for effectively managing your inventory on a wordpress built site. On top of a great plugin the customer support and response times are top notch. It has been a true partnership. http://idrivegreenville.com

   I have been using the CarDealerPress (Formerly DealerTrend Inventory API) Plugin for almost 2 years now. No other WordPress plugin provides the level of functionality and customizability that the CarDealerPress plugin is capable of. It is fully responsive and has all of the features of dedicated car dealership websites. Our SEO has risen dramatically since moving to a WordPress site with the CarDealerPress plugin. We now get over twice the organic traffic that we were getting before, our Adwords ads are costing half as much (due to higher relevance and quality scores), and we get to take advantage of all of the other benefits that come along with WordPress. I would recommend the CarDealerPress plugin to any dealership looking to make the move to a custom WordPress site and finally take complete control of their web presence. You can see our sites at: http://www.ForestLakeChrysler.com and http://www.ForestLakeChevrolet.com. They are both using the CarDealerPress Plugin.
