When a buyer asks AI to find them a car, make sure it’s yours.

Send one inventory feed. We publish every vehicle so ChatGPT, Copilot, and Google AI can read it, so each car is eligible to be cited and the buyer is linked straight to you.

Why now

Buyers already moved. Their first stop is an AI assistant.

Shoppers who arrive from an AI assistant tend to be higher-intent. They already asked a question and got your car as the answer.

The gap

How a normal dealer site reads to AI, and how it reads with VIN Index.

Most dealer inventory is built for old search engines, not AI answer engines, so AI assistants often cannot read it. VIN Index renders the same cars in a clean, structured form built for AI discovery.

Without VIN Index

A blank where your inventory should be

> read inventory page
  <div id="app"></div>
  // content loads via JavaScript

  vehicles found: 0
  structured data: none

Many assistants run no JavaScript, find no machine-readable vehicles, and tend to move on to a dealer they can actually read.

With VIN Index

Every vehicle, eligible to be cited

> read inventory page
  <Vehicle> JSON-LD, plain HTML

  vehicles found: 142
  structured data: valid
  price: $17,900 all-in

Plain HTML plus validated vehicle structured data, the format Google built for AI vehicle results. The assistant can read it, it is eligible to be cited, and the link points back to you.

One feed in. Readable, structured, attributable.

You already export an inventory feed. Point it at us once. From there your cars reach AI two ways: they get read when a buyer is already looking, and they get pushed into the AI shopping catalogs ahead of time. Every vehicle, published four ways and refreshed within an hour of any change.

Readable

AI and search crawlers can access clean, static vehicle pages, no JavaScript required.

Structured

Each VIN carries schema, specs, price, availability, dealer info, and canonical links.

Attributable

Clicks and leads from AI and search channels can be tracked back to the source.

A listing page built to be cited

Fast, static, schema-rich pages built so crawlers and assistants can read the full vehicle, not a half-loaded screen. Branded to you.

A live endpoint AI can query

Assistants do not just read the page. They can ask your inventory direct questions and get a straight, attributed answer.

Pushed into AI shopping

We format your inventory for the AI shopping catalogs, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Google, and publish to each as it opens to feeds, refreshed about every four hours.

The outbound push

Your cars inside AI shopping, before anyone searches

Surfaces 1 and 2 wait to be read. This one does not. We format your inventory the way Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google each want it and feed it straight into their AI shopping catalogs, so when a shopper browses cars inside an assistant, yours is already in the index.

What the buyer does

“Show me AWD SUVs under $18,000 near Hamilton.”

asked inside Copilot shopping

The assistant answers from its shopping catalog, the index we feed your inventory into, not from a live crawl of your site.

One honest note. These shopping catalogs are shared by every seller, so this is the one surface where your car can sit near another dealer’s. Even there it carries your own link and attribution and the inquiry routes to you, while your own listing pages and endpoint stay competitor-free. Several of these programs are still rolling out, so we publish to each the moment it opens to feeds.

We don’t promise rankings. We make you indexable.

AI platforms decide what to crawl, cite, and rank. VIN Index gives your inventory the strongest technical foundation to be discovered.

  • Clean HTML pages
  • Structured vehicle data
  • Canonical URLs
  • Fresh inventory updates
  • Source attribution
A dealer's customer on the lot

Your shopper.
Yours to keep.

Listing marketplaces put your vehicle next to competing dealers and nudge your shopper toward other cars. They run on traffic and impressions, so they win when shoppers keep browsing. VIN Index makes your vehicle the cited source on AI answers, with no competitor carousel around it. The shopper reaches your listing, and the inquiry comes straight to you. The AI shopping catalogs we push to are shared by every seller, the way they are built, but even there your car carries your own link and attribution, and the inquiry still routes to you.
