AUTHOMOTIVE INTELLIGENCE · MONTHLY PERFORMANCE REVIEW

See what changed. Understand what likely contributed. Decide what comes next.

Each month we review the dealership results that matter: search and AI discovery, traffic mix, VSRP and VDP activity, leads, and local market movement. Then we explain what changed, what likely contributed, and what deserves attention next.

Monthly Performance Review

AUTHOMOTIVE INTELLIGENCE · SAMPLE DATA

Monthly review · July 14 – August 10, 2026

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

More shoppers found the dealership without searching for its name, and more of that activity continued into inventory. Organic, AI, and local discovery all increased, while VSRP views, VDP activity, and leads moved up with them. North-side showed the strongest local momentum, giving us a clear place to investigate and expand what is working.

The goal is not another dashboard. It is a monthly decision.
Where the underlying data comes from

The monthly report is built from organic, total, AI/LLM, and local traffic; VSRP and VDP activity; leads; and locality. Depth depends on platform access, data quality, and the dealership’s existing measurement environment. The monthly report can draw from Google Search Console, GA4, Semrush or DataForSEO, identifiable AI referral traffic, observed AI and AI Overview visibility, geographic and locality performance, page and query movement, engagement behavior, GTM and custom-event data, inventory actions, and advertising measurement events. Not every AI answer or anonymous AI-assisted journey can be observed. We report the identifiable referrals and observed visibility footprint, not complete AI attribution.
