What a DealerOn Migration Gets You — And What It Leaves Behind

Your inventory feed goes live on a platform you actually own. Your lead forms, digital retailing tools, service scheduler, and twelve months of SEO equity migrate intact — no redirects breaking, no legacy URL structures dying mid-campaign. The monthly DealerOn or Dealer Inspire fees stop immediately. The template codebase shared with three thousand competing dealers? Gone. The performance ceiling from vendor-controlled hosting and bloated scripts? Lifted. Your team gets a headless CMS for specials and incentives, sub-100ms inventory search powered by Algolia, and VDP pages that convert without modal overlays blocking the Buy button. You're not renting your dealership's digital storefront anymore.

Waar projecten falen

DealerOn and Dealer Inspire charge escalating monthly fees for a site that'll never be yours You're paying rent on your most important sales asset, with nothing to show for it the day you walk away.

Template sites run on the same codebase shared across thousands of competing dealers Your site looks and performs identically to the dealership down the street — Google has no particular reason to rank you any differently.

Inventory search is slow and boxed in by whatever filters the platform decided to build Shoppers leave for CarGurus or AutoTrader, where search actually works the way they expect.

DealerOn and Dealer Inspire control your SEO — the URL structures, schema markup, sitemap generation, all of it One platform update can tank your organic rankings overnight, and you've got zero recourse when it happens.

Third-party integrations need vendor approval or expensive add-on fees Connecting your preferred CRM, chat tool, or analytics stack costs extra — if they'll even allow it.

Page speed suffers from bloated scripts, injected third-party widgets, and shared hosting environments Core Web Vitals failures push you below competitors in local search, and there's nothing you can do about it within the platform.

Compliance

Full Inventory Feed Integration

Direct DMS and feed API connections pull real-time inventory data straight into your Next.js site. No middleman platform touching your data, no throttled updates, no one taking a cut of the pipeline.

Custom Digital Retailing

You build your own payment calculator, trade-in estimator, and finance application flow. No Apex licensing fees, no feature gates — your tools, built your way, owned by you.

ADA Compliance Built-In

WCAG 2.1 AA compliance gets built into every component from day one. No accessiBe overlay patches that leave you exposed to lawsuits down the road.

Complete SEO Ownership

You control URL structures, schema markup, meta tags, sitemaps, and canonical tags — every last one. Every optimization decision is yours to make and, critically, yours to keep.

Lead Form Architecture

Custom lead capture forms route directly to your CRM with no platform sitting in the middle. Every submission is yours, full stop — no shared data pipelines, no platform skimming your leads.

Vendor-Free Security

The site runs edge-deployed on Vercel with automatic SSL, DDoS protection, and none of the shared hosting vulnerabilities that come from sitting on the same infrastructure as hundreds of other dealers.

Wat we bouwen

Escalating monthly fees that buy you nothing but continued access to a site you'll never own

Algolia-powered faceted search returns results in under 100ms while shoppers filter by payment, features, color, and availability simultaneously

Template-based design and feature set shared identically across thousands of competing dealerships

Vehicle Detail Pages with lazy-loaded galleries, Google-ready structured data, and inline lead capture that never hides content behind modals

Inventory search filters that load slowly and can't handle simultaneous facet combinations shoppers expect

Geo-targeted inventory prominence and location-based content built directly into your stack — no Signals product fees required

Zero control over SEO architecture — URL structures, schema markup, and sitemap generation locked by the vendor

Service appointment booking that pulls real-time bay availability from your shop management system instead of dumping forms into email

Third-party integrations requiring vendor approval or costly add-on fees before you can connect your preferred tools

Headless CMS for OEM incentives and dealer specials with no PriceStak add-on or extra vendor negotiations

Page speed dragged down by injected widgets, shared hosting environments, and Core Web Vitals failures you can't fix

Multi-rooftop codebase that shares components across locations while isolating inventory, branding, and content where your stores differ

Ons proces

Platform Audit & Data Export

We start by cataloging every page, URL, inventory feed, lead form, and third-party integration on your current DealerOn or Dealer Inspire site. Inventory data schemas get mapped and the redirect plan gets drafted before anything else moves — that part matters more than people expect.

Week 1-2

Architecture & DMS Integration

Next.js project scaffolding goes up with direct DMS feed connections, CRM webhooks, and Algolia search indexing in place. The inventory pipeline gets built before we touch a single pixel of design.

Week 3-4

Design & Component Build

Then come the custom UI components — VDPs, SRPs, specials pages, service scheduling, lead forms — every one performance-tested against Core Web Vitals thresholds before it ships.

Week 5-8

SEO Migration & QA

The 301 redirect map goes live, schema markup gets validated, XML sitemaps get submitted. Every VDP and landing page URL is accounted for, with full cross-browser and device testing done before we flip the switch.

Week 9-10

Launch & DealerOn Cancellation

DNS cuts over to the Vercel edge network, with real-time monitoring for the first 72 hours and 30 days of post-launch support included. We'll also help you cancel your DealerOn or Dealer Inspire contract cleanly — that part can be trickier than it sounds.

Veelgestelde vragen

Verlies ik mijn Google-rankings bij migratie van DealerOn?

Niet als de migratie correct wordt uitgevoerd. We bouwen een volledige 301-redirect-map die elk VDP, SRP en landingspagina op uw huidige site dekt. Schema markup, metadata en sitemap-structuren blijven behouden of verbeteren. De meeste klanten zien rankingwinsten binnen 60 dagen, omdat paginasnelheid en Core Web Vitals scores aanzienlijk verbeteren na de verhuizing.

Hoe werkt inventarisatie-synchronisatie zonder DealerOn's platform?

We verbinden rechtstreeks met uw DMS-provider — CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, DealerTrack of anderen — via hun data feed API's. Inventaris stroomt in bijna real-time naar uw Next.js-site, zonder tussenpersoon en zonder platformvergoeding voor de gegevenspijplijn.

Kan ik mijn digital retailing-tools behouden na het verlaten van DealerOn?

DealerOn's Apex Digital Retail is eigendomsrecht — het blijft bij hen wanneer u vertrekt. We bouwen aangepaste betalingscalculators, trade-in-estimators en financieringsaanvraagformulieren rechtstreeks in uw nieuwe site, verbonden met uw gekozen uitleningspartners en CRM. U bezit de code en de leads, zonder licentiekosten of functiebeperkingen.

Wat gebeurt er met mijn contactformulieren en CRM-integratie?

Elk leadformulier wordt herbouwd om rechtstreeks naar uw CRM via API in te dienen — VinSolutions, DealerSocket, elead of wat u ook gebruikt. Inzendingen bereiken uw CRM onmiddellijk zonder tussenkomst. We verbinden ook UTM-tracking en conversiegebeurtenissen, zodat u leads daadwerkelijk aan hun bron kunt toeschrijven.

Hoe lang duurt een typische dealershipmigratie?

Een migratie voor één locatie duurt meestal 10 tot 12 weken van start tot lancering. Dealer-groepen met meerdere locaties nemen 14 tot 18 weken in beslag, afhankelijk van hoeveel componenten over locaties kunnen worden gedeeld. Uw oude en nieuwe sites draaien parallel tijdens QA, dus er is geen downtime bij cutover.

Is een aangepaste Next.js-site duurder in onderhoud dan DealerOn?

DealerOn rekent $1.500 tot $3.000-plus per maand platformkosten — dat is $18K tot $36K jaarlijks voor een site die u niet bezit. Een aangepaste Next.js-site op Vercel kost ongeveer $20 tot $100 per maand hosting. Zelfs met doorlopende uren voor ontwikkelaarsonderhoud meegeteld, daalt de totale eigendomskosten aanzienlijk in het eerste jaar. De meeste dealers recupereren de migratiekosten lang voor maand twaalf.
