What are Seller Badges?
Seller badges are visual tags that you can attach to your listing to promote additional capabilities and services offered.
This feature is part of the continued additional support carsales.com.au Pty Ltd is offering to its dealer partners as we aim to be the number one digital marketplace for buying and selling cars. When a consumer clicks on one of these badges, a pop-up window will appear explaining each service in more depth.
What are the benefits?
Seller badges help in a number of ways, when it comes to promoting your listings.
- Influence a potential buyers decision to place an enquiry by increasing the visibility of services and capabilities.
- Indicate the solutions you have for buyers to engage with your dealership digitally. Highlight your ability to offer helpful services such as the ability to deliver the car, offer phone deposits and/or conduct video tours, aiding in purchasing a car sight unseen.
- Let consumers know when you are open and when they can expect to hear from you.
How do I apply badges?
Seller badges can be managed within the 'Dealership Management' section in your AutoGate settings. Note – you must have ‘User & Dealer Admin’ permission to make adjustments.
On the dealership management page, scroll down a little until you see 'Seller Badges'. Clicking on the edit button on the top right will allow you to toggle each badge on or off as required.
Please note: it will take between 5-15 mins to update on your listings and if you have multiple accounts, you must apply these across each individually.
