Vehicle detail page
Also called: VDP, Listing page
A vehicle detail page (VDP) is the web page for a single vehicle in a dealership's inventory, showing its photos, price, specifications, and an enquiry option, and VDP views are a core measure of buyer interest in specific stock.
Vehicle detail page in dealership marketing
Buyers who reach a VDP are far closer to a decision than those on a homepage, which is why listing quality, especially photography, has such a direct effect on enquiries. A VDP with poor photos loses the buyer at the last step.
Retargeting and dynamic inventory ads both depend on VDPs: they show the exact vehicle a buyer viewed, which only works if every unit in stock has its own well-built page.

Dynamic inventory ads are advertisements generated automatically from a dealership's live stock feed, so that each ad shows a specific available vehicle with its price and photo, and updates or stops as inventory changes.

Certified pre-owned
A certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle is a used vehicle that has passed a defined inspection and reconditioning standard and is sold with a warranty, usually under a manufacturer-backed programme, so that the buyer gets some of the assurance of a new-car purchase at a used-car price.
