The report is the industry's only comprehensive comparison of automotive digital marketing website technology.

Each year, over 50 automotive website platforms are considers for SEO compliance, data integration, user interface, and search marketing visibility. in 2009, only 35 were included in the ASMA report and only a fraction receive an ASMA award for excellence.

All of the companies included in the 2010 ASMA study are given the opportunity to submit their most recent examples of technology for review. This year, the participants can also elect to conduct a two hour presentation of their website and marketing technology to the ASMA review team.

There is a $300 application fee to help cover the costs of the processing their completed questionnaire, communications, and data analysis that the study undertakes.

If a vendor chooses not to follow the application process, it does not mean they will not be included in the study. It just means that the data we include in the 2010 ASMA report will be based solely on what we find online from public websites and searches.

This year we will be reviewing over 40 website vendors and expanding the data analysis to include video, chat and mobile. Website providers have until August 2nd to indicate that they want to participate formally.

Website vendors that have any questions or need the applications, can send an email to Carrie Hemphill at: carrie@paschconsulting.com

The 2010 ASMA awards will be presented at the 9th Digital Dealer Conference in Las Vegas at a PCG Sponsored Conference Luncheon.
