AutoHook

Your dealers can now drive leads in instead of letting them walk away.

Consumers today come into the market armed with more information than ever before. Using multiple devices, they’ll search for the right model and the right deal and aren’t afraid to comparison shop. While they’re out there – looking, learning, and getting ready to buy, AutoHook efficiently turns in-market prospects into incremental showroom visits and new-to-brand sales through highly targeted, private offers.

Turning the challenges of motivating qualified prospects to visit into opportunities.

When it comes to driving showroom traffic at the lowest cost-per-sale, AutoHook puts science to work, so you aren’t making costly decisions based on gut feeling.
