<p>Good question Pat! <br></br><br></br>The short answer to your question is yes. You do get traffic from local search sites/online directories and should list your dealership's website on them. <br></br><br></br>Also, to help you out, I made a quick list of the top 10 directories I'd recommend listing your dealership on:</p>

<li>LinkedIn Company Directory</li>

<p>While this isn’t an exhaustive list, it serves as a great starting point for your dealership. Just remember to submit consistent and accurate NAP (name, address, phone number) data for each directory.

This will help with your dealer's local SEO.</p>
