Ford and Lincoln Mercury Digital Advertising Program for Dealers

www.FLMDigital.com

This is the page where Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers can get started with the FLMDA Program by requesting a Search Engine Optimization analysis that will result in a Ford Digital Advertising Specialist contacting them to review the results of the analysis and make recommendations specific to the dealership's needs. It is an industry first, and Ford is the first car company to do this in a dealer friendly way without coercion or forced participation.
