Automotive & Marine — Build in a Day

The cost of being invisible online

In New Zealand, over 80% of vehicle buyers research online before visiting a yard. Whether they're browsing Trade Me Motors, checking AutoTrader, or Googling your dealership name, they expect a proper website with inventory, pricing, and a way to enquire. If all they find is a bare Facebook page, they move on to the next dealer.

The same shift is happening in marine. Buyers shopping for boats, outboard engines, or marine accessories start on Google and Trade Me — not by driving around marinas. NZ's boat building heritage is world-class, but if your workshop or dealership can't be found online, that reputation doesn't reach new customers.

For workshops and auto parts businesses, the situation is just as urgent. Customers searching for "WoF near me" or "auto electrician [town]" are making instant decisions based on who shows up, who has reviews, and who looks credible. Every day without a website is revenue walking into someone else's workshop.

What you get in a day

01

Mobile-first website

Built for how buyers actually browse — on their phones, often standing in a competitor's yard comparing prices. Fast, clean, and easy to navigate.

02

Vehicle or boat listing pages

Showcase your current stock with photos, specs, and pricing. Structured so customers can browse and filter without calling you first.

03

Enquiry & finance forms

Capture buyer interest with test drive requests, finance pre-approval forms, or general enquiry forms. Notifications go straight to your phone.

04

Credentials & trust signals

MTA membership, LMVD registration, MPI compliance for marine importers — displayed prominently to build instant trust with cautious buyers.

05

Google Business integration

Connected to your Google Business profile so you show up on Maps when someone searches for dealerships or workshops near them.

06

Hosting & domain setup

We handle domain registration, hosting, SSL, and email configuration. You walk away with a live, fully working website by end of day.

How the day works

01

Morning brief

We call at 8am. You tell us about your business, your best stock, and what sets you apart — MTA membership, finance options, your service history. Takes 30 minutes, then you get back to work.

02

Design & build

Our team builds your site while you're on the yard or in the workshop. We use your inventory photos, your credentials, and your voice to create something authentically yours.

03

Review at lunch

Around midday we send a preview link. Check it on your phone between customers. Tell us what to tweak — we handle the rest in the afternoon.

04

Live by 5pm

By end of day, your website is live. Domain connected, forms working, Google listing updated. You're open for business online.

What changes after launch

Found on Google

Your dealership or workshop appears in local search results when buyers search for vehicles, WoFs, or marine services in your area.

More buyer enquiries

A professional website with clear inventory and easy contact forms converts online browsers into showroom visits and phone calls.

Compete with bigger dealers

Franchise dealers spend thousands on digital. A professional website levels the playing field for independent LMVD dealers and marine businesses.

Less tyre-kicker time

Buyers arrive informed — they've already seen the vehicle, the price, and the specs. Your conversations start further down the sales funnel.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We build on a platform that's as simple as posting a Trade Me listing. Add photos, update prices, mark vehicles as sold — all from your phone or computer. No technical skills needed.

No — and it shouldn't. Trade Me is great for reach, but your own website gives you full control, no listing fees, and a professional home base that builds your brand. The two work best together.

Absolutely. Whether you do WoFs, servicing, auto electrical, panel and paint, or marine maintenance, a website helps local customers find you. We tailor the site to your specific services.

Phone photos work fine — especially modern smartphone cameras. Clean, well-lit photos of real inventory always outperform stock images. We can also advise on quick tips for better vehicle photography.

No. We need about 30 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes for a lunch review. You stay on the yard or in the workshop — we handle the build.

Domain and hosting run around $25-40/month. No lock-in contracts. If you want ongoing inventory management, marketing, or feature updates, our Cloud plans are available for that.
