Onboarding: Day 1 to Day 30
How long does DealerEdge setup take? The Day 1 to Day 30 onboarding timeline: your new site is typically live within the first two weeks, and the full platform is running within 30 days.
The short answer
Your new site is typically live within the first two weeks, and the full platform — AI follow-up, marketing, reporting — is fully running within 30 days. Your team's time investment is a kickoff call, a review pass, and training.
The timeline
Day 1 — Kickoff & connect. One call. We connect your inventory source and collect brand assets. No IT project on your side.
Week 1 — We build, you review. The AI builds your site: every unit pulled in, 65+ fields normalized per boat, listing copy written, photos enhanced. A typical dealership website project runs 60–90 days of development; DealerEdge's AI assembles yours in about a day, and changes from your review go live in under 48 hours.
Weeks 1–2 — Website live. Your new site launches, typically within the first two weeks of kickoff. New units appear as complete listings the same day; sold boats come down everywhere automatically.
Once you're live — AI goes to work. AI Customer Connect switches on (Growth and Dominance): 24/7 chat and SMS/email auto-response. For the first two weeks after launch, our team runs daily white-glove monitoring.
Days 15–30 — Training, tuning, first report. Dashboard training, lead-routing tuning, and your first monthly performance report with your baseline established.
