How to use this data

If you’re a dealer in Arizona, these numbers tell you where your market stands. CRM at 33% means competitive follow-up pressure — if you don’t have systematic lead management, dealers who do are winning those deals. Advertising at 66% means digital ad adoption still has room to grow in Arizona — dealers who move now have less competition for those keywords.
