Add custom pages (financing, about, warranty)
Create custom pages like Financing, About, or Warranty that show up in your site nav — and let the public AI answer shopper questions from them.
Add your own pages — Financing, Warranty, Privacy, anything — to your storefront. Each one shows up in your site navigation, and your storefront AI assistant can answer shopper questions straight from the page.
Create a page
- Go to Website → Pages, then click New page.
- Type a Title (for example,
Financing). A URL slug is suggested automatically (financing) — edit it if you want. - Click Create draft. You land on the page editor.
- In the Body (Markdown) box, type your content. Use
#for headings,**bold**, lists, and links. - Use the Write / Preview toggle above the body to switch to Preview and see how it will render.
- Click Save draft to keep your work, then Publish when you're ready to go live.
A page only appears on your public site after you Publish it. Drafts are private — only your team can see them, or anyone you share a preview link with (via the Copy preview link button).
Where the page appears
Once published, the page is added to your site navigation automatically. The public URL is your storefront address plus the slug — for example your-slug.autodealer.io/financing.
To set the nav order, go back to Website → Pages and drag the grip handle on the left of each row up or down. The top-to-bottom order in this list is the order your custom links appear in the site menu.
Every storefront has built-in Home, Inventory, About, and Contact links, and your custom pages appear after them. If you name a custom page about or contact, it won't be added to the nav a second time (the built-in link is used). A few slugs are reserved — inventory, preview, and a handful of system slugs — and the editor will block them.
Edit, rename, or delete
- Go to Website → Pages and click the row for the page you want to change.
- Edit the Title, URL slug, or Body, then click Save draft.
- Click Publish to push your latest changes live. Until you do, the row shows an Unpublished changes badge.
- To remove a page, scroll to the Danger zone and click Delete page (you'll be asked to confirm).
The URL slug and the SEO fields apply the moment you click Save draft — not on Publish. (The Title and Body changes wait for Publish.) Renaming the slug moves the live URL right away. Don't worry about broken links: the old URL automatically redirects to the new one.
Help search engines find it (SEO)
In the editor, expand the SEO (search engine listing) section to set:
- Meta title — what shows in the browser tab and search results. Falls back to the page title if blank.
- Meta description — the one-line summary under your link in search results. If you leave it blank, AutoDealer.io generates one from the start of your page.
- Social share image — the image shown when the page is shared on Facebook, X, or LinkedIn. If you skip it, your dealer logo is used.
If your page is built as a list of questions and answers — at least two ## (H2) headings, each one ending with a ? — AutoDealer.io automatically marks it up as an FAQ so Google can show your Q&A directly in search results. A single stray "Got questions?" header won't trigger it.
Let the AI answer from your page
Your storefront's AI chat assistant can read your published custom pages. When a shopper asks something like "do you offer financing?" or "what's your warranty?", the assistant can pull the answer from the matching page and link the shopper to it.
That means a well-written Financing or Warranty page does double duty: a page shoppers can read, and a source your AI assistant can quote from.
The public AI only reads your published pages, and only ever shares public content. It never reveals costs, customer info, or deal details. Keep anything sensitive off your custom pages.
FAQ
Do I need to know HTML?
No. Pages are written in Markdown — plain text with simple marks like # for a heading, ** for bold, and - for a bullet. The Preview toggle shows exactly how it will look.
Why isn't my new page showing on my site?
A page is only live after you click Publish. Check the status badge in Website → Pages: Draft means it has never been published; Unpublished changes means your latest edits aren't live yet. Click into the page and hit Publish.
I renamed a page — will old links break?
No. When you change the slug and click Save draft, AutoDealer.io creates an automatic redirect from the old URL to the new one, so existing bookmarks and shared links keep working.
How do I change the order of pages in my menu?
In Website → Pages, drag the grip handle on the left of each row. The top-to-bottom order in this list is the order your custom links appear in the site navigation. The built-in Home, Inventory, About, and Contact links come first, then your custom pages.
Can a teammate preview a draft before it goes live?
Yes. Open the page and click Copy preview link. It copies a private link (valid for 7 days) you can share with anyone — no login required — without publishing the page.
Who can create and edit pages?
Owners and Managers. Other roles can sign in and view the dashboard, but won't be able to create or change custom pages.
