BIGGEST JOURNEY LEAK
Shoppers are reaching your inventory, but too many leave before taking the next step.
Nissan of Bowie is generating website interest, but speed issues, weak calls to action and drop-off between inventory browsing and vehicle engagement are reducing lead volume. The fastest opportunity is to remove friction at the highest-exit points.
