Every listing submitted to The State of Automotive goes through a review process before publication. We check for accuracy, relevance to the dealership audience, and completeness. A well-filled-out submission with a clear description of what your product or agency actually does — and who it's best for — typically gets reviewed and published within a few business days.
Listings are free and remain free. We do not gate basic directory presence behind a paywall. If you want additional visibility — featured placement, priority category positioning, or sponsored ad slots — those are available as paid upgrades, clearly labeled as such and separate from editorial content.
After your listing is published, you can return to update it at any time through the dashboard. Accuracy matters to the dealers who use this directory, so keeping your listing current — pricing, integrations, features — helps you show up in the right searches.
We accept submissions for automotive software vendors, marketing agencies, and dealer groups. If you're unsure whether your company qualifies, submit anyway — our review team will either approve it or let you know what's missing. The directory is built for dealership operators researching technology and service partners, and we prioritize listings that help them make better decisions.
