How to use this data
If you’re a dealer in Ohio, these numbers tell you where your market stands. CRM at 54% means competitive follow-up pressure — if you don’t have systematic lead management, dealers who do are winning those deals. Advertising at 76% means virtually every dealer in your market is running paid digital ads — the question is what you’re sending that traffic to.
