Where should a car showroom start: Facebook, Google or a website?+
Start where buyers already check you: a complete Google Business Profile (car dealer category, map pin, hours, real showroom photos) and fast replies on WhatsApp. Then post every car with real photos and run click-to-WhatsApp ads by price band. A website with a page for each car comes next, so ads and posts send people somewhere they can trust.
Buyers message at night and on Sundays. How do we stop losing them?+
In a mystery shop of more than 1,500 US dealers, 40% of web leads arrived while the dealership was closed, and buyers answered within 10 minutes were three times more likely to visit (Auto Remarketing, 2018). A WhatsApp assistant on your own number answers stock, price and papers questions from your approved list at any hour, and hands serious buyers to your team in the morning with the car named.
Buyers think every auction sheet is fake. How do we earn their trust online?+
PakWheels lists three common forms of auction sheet fraud in Pakistan: tampered mileage, fake or altered sheets, and repainting that isn't disclosed (August 2026). Put the sheet image, grade and mileage you've confirmed on each car's page, and never edit the car itself in photos. A short film of how you source and check cars helps buyers believe the rest.
Buyers won't send token money until they're sure we're real. What helps?+
PakWheels warns buyers not to pay token money on the phone just from pictures, after a Rs. 2.6 million middleman fraud (November 2024). Give buyers things they can check before they pay: a Google Business Profile with your real address, pin, hours and showroom photos, a website showing your actual stock, and a short film of your team. Then invite them to visit.
Do Google reviews matter for a car showroom?+
Yes. In BrightLocal's 2026 survey of US consumers, 97% read reviews for local businesses and 74% look for reviews from the last three months. Ask every buyer on delivery day with a link or a QR card, offer nothing in return, and reply to every review, the unhappy ones included.
Imported cars have dried up. Can marketing help us find stock?+
Used car imports fell to 148 units in April 2026, against 42,122 in the whole of FY25 (PakWheels, citing PAAPAM). Run a separate "sell your car" campaign: a form or a WhatsApp chat that asks make, model, year, mileage and city, so your team calls each seller back with the details in hand.
Can our website show the monthly instalment for a car?+
Yes, as an estimate. Car financing in Pakistan reached Rs. 318 billion in November 2025, but the Rs. 3 million loan cap, down payments and shorter tenures limit what banks approve (ProPakistani, December 2025). A calculator built on the rates and rules you give us shows a rough monthly figure and sends the buyer's answers to your WhatsApp. It is never a loan approval.
How soon will we see more enquiries?+
Faster WhatsApp replies and a complete Google profile work on enquiries you already get, so they help in the first weeks. Ads need a few weeks of testing by price band before they settle. Reviews and search build over months, which is why Growth, Complete and Premium have a 3-month minimum. Nobody can honestly promise a number of sales.
