Google My Business Integration
For maximum visibility, connect your AutoFire website with your Google My Business listing:
Update GMB Website URL
In your Google My Business dashboard, set your website URL to your AutoFire subdomain (yourdealership.goautofire.com).
Verify Information
Ensure your business name, address, phone number, and business hours match between your GMB listing and your AutoFire website.
Complete Verification
If you haven’t already, complete Google’s business verification process to ensure your business appears in Maps and local search results.
When properly configured, this integration helps your dealership appear in local searches and can help your inventory appear in vehicle-related searches.
Google Vehicle Listings
Your AutoFire website is designed to work with Google Vehicle Listings, which allows your inventory to appear directly in Google search results.
Set Up Google My Business
Follow the Google Vehicle Listings onboarding guide to ensure your dealership is properly set up.
Structured Data Markup
AutoFire automatically implements the required structured data markup on all your vehicle detail pages, so there’s no additional configuration needed on your part.
AutoFire currently supports Google Vehicle Listings through structured data markup. We are actively working on implementing direct feed file uploads for even better integration with Google’s systems!

Mobile Experience
Your dealer website is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. It will automatically adjust to provide an excellent experience on smartphones and tablets.

Making Updates
Any changes you make to your dealership information, inventory, or website settings are automatically reflected on your live website. There’s no need to manually publish or update your site.
While most changes appear immediately, some updates may take a few minutes to propagate across all systems.
Inventory Limit
Remember that AutoFire currently limits each dealership to 10 vehicle listings. Focus on showcasing your best inventory and update regularly as vehicles sell.
