BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., April 21 /PRNewswire/ — NeoSynergy, a Web-based automotive software firm, announced today that their revolutionary Best Deals vehicle-pricing content will now be integrated into Google(TM) search results. As such, dealers who subscribe to Best Deals can market their actual vehicle pricing to more than 6 billion monthly visitors through the new Google-enabled toolset, in addition to the existing AOL Autos online visitors.”This is an exciting next step in our strategy to connect dealers with the preeminent destinations on the Internet,” says NeoSynergy CEO and President David Wassmann. “By leveraging Google search technology, NeoSynergy’s Google-enabled toolset will provide dealers an avenue for cost-effectively publishing their actual vehicle prices on the most-visited search engine online. There simply is no other marketing service that can offer dealers this combined value.”In addition to being a fraction of the cost of traditional print advertising, Best Deals also allows dealers and their advertising agencies to modify pricing on a real-time basis, even after prices have been published. Best Deals also aligns with industry trends: 80 percent of consumers research new vehicle purchase online and 59 percent of automotive dealers report they are planning to increase spending on online marketing. For consumers, Best Deals offers unique information that reflects the actual purchase or lease price — not just the published invoice and MSRP information.Beginning May 1, subscribing dealers’ information will be displayed in Google search listings, and in several popular Google tools: — Free Listings: The Best Deals service will automatically create Google free listings for subscribing dealers. These free listings will appear when shoppers search for vehicles by area (such as “Volvo dealer in Birmingham, Mich.”), and contain the dealer’s contact and location information, as well as a link to that dealer’s Best Deals offers. — Google Maps(TM): The Best Deals Google Mapplet tool will allow Google Maps users to search for vehicles by make, model, location, and purchase type (such as Volvo XC70 within 100 miles of Birmingham, Mich.”). Matching vehicles in the Best Deals search results will then be returned via a personalized Google Map page. — iGoogle(TM) Gadget and Google Toolbar: Users of iGoogle, a personalized version of the Google portal, can utilize a Best Deals Google Gadget that adds the vehicle search function to their home page. Similarly, online shoppers can add the Best Deals search function to their Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer of Mozilla Firefox, with Best Deals matching their vehicle preferences displayed as a pop up screen. With either tool, users can access actual vehicle pricing, with dealer contact information, at the click of a mouse. — Google Desktop Gadget: Users of Google’s desktop utility can also use a Best Deals gadget right from their desktop in the same way they would from iGoogle.Importantly, the enhanced distribution of Best Deals content will be available to subscribers at no additional cost.”By leveraging existing Google technology, we are able to dramatically increase the value of Best Deals for our subscribers,” says Wassmann. “This is the benefit of utilizing a ‘Software as a Service’ solution. We are able to introduce new features and enhancements without requiring our customers to download updates, or invest in new software packages.”This summer, Best Deals subscribers will also be able to take advantage of NeoSynergy’s new Buy Direct application. With Buy Direct, consumers nationwide will be able to handle all aspects of a new vehicle sale with the dealer via the Internet — something not possible until now. This includes selecting a financing method, applying for a lease or loan, and making arrangements for the vehicle to be delivered or setting an appointment to complete paperwork and drive the new vehicle home.According to the Capgemini study, 20 percent of consumers are now willing to consider completing their vehicle purchases online, up from two percent in 2001. The firm attributes this significant increase to people becoming more comfortable with buying expensive goods over the Web, including computers, televisions and home appliances.”NeoSynergy’s Buy Direct application is exactly what consumers say they want — a convenient means to shop for the best deals available, without having to drive around town or the state to find them,” said Wassmann. “The dealers’ best prices come to them via Best Deals and they can initiate the transaction, using Buy Direct, at their leisure.”For more information about NeoSynergy’s products that help dealers sell more cars for less money, visit or call toll free 866.972.5372.About NeoSynergy, Inc.NeoSynergy, Inc.
