The challenge

Buyers were
leaking to rivals

Customers picked a model on Major’s convenient site, then — with no video review on the model page — left to watch third-party channels about the car and never came back

Where the funnel broke
Major

Customer browses models on major-auto.ru

YouTube

Leaves for a third-party review channel

Retargeting

Gets competitor ads

Other dealer

The purchase goes to a rival

Objective

Close the loop inside Major

Reviews — on Major pages and the Major channel. Service — in Major showrooms. The customer stays in the ecosystem from car choice to first service visit

  • Keep buyers on the site and in showrooms
  • Bring customers back for service after purchase
Solution

What we built

We surfaced the pain points and proposed an end-to-end pipeline
