When consumers are shopping for inventory, location is often a high priority. With Dealer Spike’s new Search by Distance Filter, finding nearby inventory just got easier for shoppers and more efficient for dealerships with several stores or locations.
What Does the Search by Distance Filter Do?
The Search by Distance filter simplifies your website’s search functionality for shoppers who want to browse inventory at your closest store location.
Manual Postal Code Entry & Radius-Based Filtering
Shoppers can enter any Postal or ZIP code and select the maximum distance they want to search (e.g., 25, 50, 100 miles or kilometers).
- How it benefits you: By focusing search results on local inventory, you’ll attract more serious, qualified buyers who are ready to take the next step. You can configure the radius ranges based on your service area or lead preferences.
- How it benefits your shoppers: The filter is straightforward – no complex navigation, just clear and intuitive options that get shoppers where they need to go.
Sorting by Closest Results
Once the postal code and radius are selected, the results are neatly organized by distance, from the closest match to the farthest.
- How it benefits you: Shoppers who search by location show a higher intent to buy. When shoppers can quickly navigate to relevant results, they can narrow down their search to the right unit faster.
- How it benefits your shoppers: They won’t waste time scrolling past inventory outside their preferred area. The filter is straightforward. No complex navigation, just clear and intuitive options that get shoppers where they need to go.
