Jobs-to-be-Done

"When a car shopper is comparing vehicles online, make Toyota the brand that earns consideration through a dealer digital experience that feels as premium as the vehicles themselves — and converts that consideration into a showroom visit."

This is the core job Toyota Dealer Digital hired Tebeau Group to get done — the real outcome they needed, not just the deliverable they asked for.

The Challenge

Standardizing Excellence Across a Dealer Network

Toyota's dealer network was generating inconsistent digital experiences — some dealers had strong online presences while others were losing leads to competitors with better-optimized sites. Brand compliance was a persistent problem, and the lack of a standardized platform made it impossible to deploy improvements at scale. Tebeau Group was engaged to design and build a dealer digital platform that could enforce brand standards, drive lead volume, and give Toyota's marketing team the control they needed.

Key Outcomes

Dealer digital lead volume increased 195% in year one across the network

Brand compliance improved from 42% to 91% within 90 days of platform launch

Platform recognized as an automotive industry best practice by OEM peers

Cost per digital lead reduced 42% through conversion optimization and SEO
