Question 1

How comprehensive is the directory search?

Accepted Answer

We index every active used car dealer profile with multilingual keywords, location metadata, and service tags. Start with broad terms and refine using filters for canton, city, or category.

Question 2

Which filters have the biggest impact on results?

Accepted Answer

Verified status and canton narrow the list fastest. Combine them with a service category to focus on the most relevant used car dealers in just a few clicks.

Question 3

Can I save a filtered view for later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Apply your filters and bookmark the URL. Autova keeps the parameters in the address bar so you can reopen the exact view anytime.

Question 4

How quickly do used car dealers respond to inquiries?

Accepted Answer

Verified partners commit to acknowledging new leads within one business day. If a profile remains silent, forward the inquiry ID to hello@autova.ch for follow-up.

Question 5

Is there a fee to appear in the directory?

Accepted Answer

Basic listings are free. Premium visibility upgrades and the upcoming used car dealer portal will offer optional paid plans, but inclusion in Autova remains free of charge.

Question 6

What does the verified badge mean?

Accepted Answer

Verified used car dealers supplied complete documentation, maintain up-to-date inventory details, and meet our response-time and review-score criteria.

Question 7

How do I update my listing content today?

Accepted Answer

Send changes to hello@autova.ch with your used car dealer ID. Our team updates profiles within 24 hours while the self-service portal is in development.

Question 8

Will I get access to analytics about my profile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The used car dealer portal roadmap includes dashboards showing views, leads, and top-performing services. Early access members will test these metrics first.

Question 9

When will the used car dealer portal launch?

Accepted Answer

We are targeting a private beta in Q1 2025. Join the waitlist on the Accounts page to receive scheduling updates and onboarding invitations.

Question 10

Is there an API for syncing inventory?

Accepted Answer

A lightweight API is planned for late 2025 once the portal stabilises. For now we support secure CSV imports handled by our data team.

Question 11

Can Autova push leads into my CRM?

Accepted Answer

CRM integrations are part of the roadmap. During beta you can download leads as CSV or forward them via email to automate ingestion.

Question 12

How is used car dealer data protected?

Accepted Answer

All submissions are encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is limited to authorised staff, and we audit changes to every profile.

Question 13

Does the platform support multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All core pages and listings are available in German, French, Italian, and English. Language switching keeps you on the same route.

Question 14

Can I export a list of used car dealers?

Accepted Answer

Use the Export button on the directory table to download the current results as CSV, including all applied filters and sorting.

Question 15

Is Autova optimised for mobile devices?
