The automotive landscape is evolving rapidly, with digital marketing and retail operations playing an ever-greater role in driving sales, elevating customer experience, and boosting dealer performance. At Ansira, we partner with OEMs and dealer networks across brands and regions to deliver consulting programs that transform digital capabilities and unlock growth.
The value of automotive consulting services in a changing market
As the automotive industry continues to face shifting consumer behaviors, evolving digital tools, and fluctuating economic conditions, the need for expert guidance has never been more critical. Automotive consulting services help dealers and OEMs navigate these complexities by offering tailored insights, strategic frameworks, and executional support that align with real-world business goals. Whether it’s optimizing digital retailing experiences or aligning sales strategies with consumer demand, effective automotive consulting delivers measurable results.
Consultants with deep industry knowledge can help bridge the gap between traditional dealership models and today’s consumer expectations. By identifying inefficiencies, streamlining processes, and enabling smarter use of marketing technology, these services empower dealers to stay ahead of their competition and meet customers where they are — online and in-store.
Who benefits from automotive consulting services?
While much of the focus is on the dealer level, automotive consulting services bring tremendous value to multiple layers of the ecosystem:
- OEMs gain visibility into network performance and can ensure consistent brand experiences across regions.
- Regional managers benefit from performance tracking and scalable training programs that align with business goals.
- Individual dealerships receive tactical recommendations that are customized to their unique challenges and opportunities.
These services are not one-size-fits-all. The best consulting programs — like those offered by Ansira — are flexible, responsive, and data-driven, ensuring every stakeholder gets the support they need to succeed.

The Ansira approach: automotive consulting excellence
Our consulting program is built on a proven, time-tested framework designed specifically for automotive ecosystems. Every engagement starts with a deep dive into each dealership’s digital strategy and operational challenges, allowing us to deliver tailored recommendations and hands-on support.
Key elements of our consulting solution include:
- Digital health assessments: Comprehensive, unbiased evaluations of each dealer’s online presence and lead handling, using proprietary tools to identify strengths, gaps, and growth opportunities.
- Personalized coaching: One-to-one coaching focused on optimizing digital marketing, website performance, social media, and reputation management.
- Always-on support: Consultants — digital subject matter experts, many with retail experience — offering ongoing training and development for dealer staff, both in-person and remotely.
- Actionable plans and performance tracking: Creation of a customized Digital Operations Guide for every engagement, complete with best practices, metrics, and actionable next steps. Dealers access continuous improvement plans and performance dashboards via a dedicated dealer portal.
- Proactive reporting: Monthly and quarterly Return on Investment reports enable stakeholders to monitor KPIs — like traffic trends, conversion rates, and close ratios — and adapt strategies in real time.
Driving collaborative success
Our field teams — Digital Operations Consultants (DOCs) and Digital Marketing Consultants (DMCs) — work seamlessly together and with our clients to maximize digital marketing results. This collaborative process ensures each dealer benefits from measurable improvements and ongoing feedback. Program managers oversee strategy, training, and analytics, guaranteeing alignment with brand goals and maintaining the highest performance standards.
Our technology advantage
Ansira’s suite of solutions — AnsiraX (consulting, strategy, media), Ansira Create (asset customization), Ansira Incent (co-op fund management), Ansira Connect (1:1 customer messaging), and Ansira Attract (media activation) — sync dealer networks for efficiency and scalability at every level.
Dealerships benefit from a secure portal with user-specific access, robust reporting features, and automated KPI monitoring — ensuring transparency, consistency, and actionable insights.
Future-proofing dealer networks through strategic consulting
Looking ahead, automotive consulting will play an even greater role in shaping the future of dealer performance. From electric vehicle adoption and connected car experiences to evolving consumer privacy regulations, the landscape is growing more complex each year. Automotive consulting services must anticipate these changes and proactively equip clients with the tools and strategies to stay resilient.
