Vehicle detail page
A vehicle detail page (VDP) is the page dedicated to a single car, showing its photos, specs, price, and description for a buyer to review.
The VDP is where a shopper decides whether to reach out. On a dealer's own website it is the most important page in the funnel, because it is where interest becomes a lead.
A strong VDP answers the obvious questions before the buyer has to ask: mileage, drivetrain, title status, recent work, and honest photos of the actual car. The clearer the page, the fewer tire-kicker calls and the more ready buyers.
