Automotive websites have to match how Kenyans search for cars: by make, model, year and budget.
On this page
Car searching in Kenya is unusually specific. People search by make, model, year and budget. A generic dealership page catches almost none of it.
What people actually type
The main pattern and where the deals are.
Huge volume. The dealer who explains this well earns the trust.
Local and often urgent.
What usually goes wrong
- Stock only on Instagram. Nobody can search Instagram by typing a model into Google.
- No prices. Buyers filter by budget first.
- Cars still listed weeks after they sold.
- Nothing about the import process, which is the most valuable content a Kenyan dealer can publish.
- Garages with no idea of what a service costs shown anywhere.
The plan, in order
A page for every vehicle
Model, year, mileage, condition, price and real photos, built so search engines can read it.
Model pages that outlive the stock
A page about the Premio in Kenya keeps ranking long after any one car sells.
Import guidance
Duty, age limits, shipping, timing and total landed cost. This brings the best buyers.
A service price list for garages
Common jobs and what they cost.
WhatsApp on every listing
With the vehicle reference already filled in.
What car dealer website Kenya looks like when it is done properly
Here is one we built. Look at where the price sits, where the WhatsApp button sits, and how little you have to think about.
What it costs
A dealer site with a stock system usually runs KSh 200,000 to KSh 400,000. A garage, KSh 100,000 to KSh 200,000. Automotive clicks in Kenya commonly run KSh 50 to KSh 135.
