01
Market digital performance
Did the campaign create demand, or simply follow it?
Four market-wide KPIs show how automotive customers behaved during the month. They establish the context before your own website is judged.
- What it reveals
- Whether the market is growing, how deeply people explore and whether visit quality is strengthening.
- Business question
- Did launch traffic outperform the total market after media weight and seasonality are considered?
Sample market
Month-on-monthDigital performance
Visits
Did your website visits grow faster than the market?
Compare changes in your website visits with the total market before assessing a campaign. Wider market growth or seasonal demand can also increase traffic.
Competitive pressure
Jul 2026New brand share

New brand share

- What it reveals
- How much online attention is moving towards challenger brands before the full effect appears in registration data.
- Business question
- Are new entrant brands growing their combined share of automotive website visits, and how quickly is that pressure changing?
03
Audience change

The focus brand's total digital market share and total market visits are plotted across time. One shows relative brand attention, the other shows the size of the market audience.
- What it reveals
- Whether your brand is gaining or losing its share of automotive website visits as total market demand expands and contracts.
- Business question
- Did campaign activity lift the brand's digital share, or did traffic simply move with the wider market?

Model pages and the configurator over-index, while stock, offers and dealer content under-index. Each section is compared independently; this is not a sequential visitor-conversion view.
04
Site-section engagement
Which website sections over- or under-index?
The comparison shows the share of total brand traffic visiting each key site section alongside the competitor average. It does not follow individual visitors from one step to the next.
- What it reveals
- Which areas of the brand site attract a larger or smaller share of traffic than the competitive norm.
- Business question
- Should content, media or navigation do more to surface stock, offers or dealer information?
05
Lead performance
Which campaigns create actions, not simply visits?
Lead performance shows the share of website traffic that views each high-intent form and how that behaviour changes month to month.
- What it reveals
- Which actions are strengthening, even when total traffic or aggregate leads hide the shift.
- Business question
- Which model, audience and media combinations lift test-drive, quote and dealer-contact intent?

- What it reveals
- Whether traffic is superficial or progressing towards genuine vehicle consideration.
- Business question
- Are launch campaigns producing more engaged and in-market visits than the competitor average?
