Questions we hear from dealers
How do used buyers decide now?
They ask AI which model-years are reliable and who sells them honestly. The AI weighs forums, reliability data, and seller reviews, then points at inventory. Presence in that answer sells the car before the test drive.
What makes AI recommend one dealer over another?
Contextual signals: structured data, consistency across listings and profiles, review sentiment and specificity, citations, and content that matches the exact moment being asked about. Aethon maps which signals you have, which competitors have, and which gaps to close first.
How fast will I see movement?
Because AI models re-read sources continuously, most targeted moments show measurable movement within 4 to 8 weeks of shipping fixes, much faster than traditional SEO cycles.
