AI-Powered site health is here.

Blog image

Suggestions is a new section in Admin that scans your entire site and surfaces a list of errors and broken links that can be fixed with one click. It covers SEO errors, mismatched dealer names, and content problems across pages, blogs, collections, nav, and broken links.

Dealers can also now control which sort options appear on their inventory search results page, and replace the default Check Availability form on the VDP with any custom form they've built.


Suggestions

Blog image

Suggestions handles the tedious work of proofreading and link-checking so your team can focus on selling cars. Hit Scan Now and the AI reviews your entire site including titles, meta tags, page content, links, and more, surfacing anything that needs attention. Each suggestion shows exactly what's wrong and how to fix it. Apply the recommendation as-is, edit it first, or dismiss it.

404 errors frustrate shoppers and hurt rankings. Broken links get matched to relevant pages on your site, or you can enter a custom URL. It's site maintenance made simple.

AI scans every page and catches errors you'd miss such as typos, grammar issues, formatting problems. Review the fix and apply it instantly. Run a scan whenever you need it. Review any changes since your last scan or run a deep scan to review everything. With Motive, you're in control.

SRP Sort Options

Blog image

Your inventory page now only shows the sort options you choose. In Admin, go to your SRP settings and select which sort options are active on your site. If "Longest in stock" doesn't match how you present inventory, or a sort option isn't relevant to your brand, turn it off.


Custom form on the VDP

Replace the default Check Availability form on the VDP with any custom form you've built in Motive. Your form, your fields, your process. The VDP stays the same, the lead form doesn't have to.

Admin AI gets smarter. Custom Forms get flexible.

Blog image

Admin AI now generates pages, blogs, and collections with the context to get fields and structure right the first time. Custom Forms picked up six updates: buttons across all CMS components, location selectors for dealer groups, custom lead source names, and more. And ASC tracking now supports three configuration modes so your analytics setup matches your strategy.


Admin AI and agentic architecture

Blog image

Admin AI is built on a new agentic architecture that gives the AI deep knowledge about every CMS component: which fields matter, how they should be structured, and what content belongs where. The result is generated pages, blogs, and collections that come out closer to publish-ready instead of requiring heavy editing after the fact.

Previously, the AI hit context limitations when building specific components. It didn't have enough room to understand how a component actually works. The new architecture solves this with specialized agents, each carrying extensive knowledge about its domain. A CMS page agent, for example, knows every component type and its field requirements.

What this means in practice:

  • Generated content populates the right fields with the right structure
  • The AI follows detailed instructions with more precision
  • Complex page layouts come out accurate on the first pass

Custom Forms updates

Blog image

Custom Forms received six updates that give dealers and our team more control over form behavior, lead routing, and deployment across the site.

Buttons on all CMS components. Any major CMS component with a button can now trigger a custom form. In the button settings, select "Power Ups" as the action, "Custom Form" as the tool, and choose from your published forms.

Location selector for dealer groups. Forms now include a location selector dropdown for multi-rooftop groups. Go to form Settings, enable Location Selector, and choose which dealers from the group appear in the dropdown. It adds as a required field at the bottom of the form automatically.

Custom lead source names. Dealers can now set a custom lead source name per form instead of using the global default. In form Settings under the ADF tab, switch from "Global" to "Custom" and enter the source name you want.

OEM lead settings split. Lead source selection for OEM dealers is now two separate fields: one for ADF lead source, one for Shift lead type. Previously you could only set sources needed for Shift.

Form reset timer. Set an auto-reset timer on any custom form. In form Settings, enter the number of seconds before the form clears. Set to zero to disable.

Remove form templates. Templates can now be removed from forms. Select a form used as a template, click "Unmake Template" in the bottom control bar, and choose which template version to remove.


ASC tracking settings

Blog image

ASC tracking now supports three configuration modes so dealers can set up analytics to match their strategy. Previously, there was one way to do it. Now you have options.

  • Enable GA4: Sends non-ASC events directly to GA4 using Google's native implementation.
  • Enable ASC: Activates Automotive Standards Council tracking with the ASC event schema. When enabled with GA4 disabled, ASC handles all analytics tracking.
  • Enable GTM Data Layer: Pushes ASC-formatted events to your Google Tag Manager data layer, so you can route events through your existing GTM setup.

Two additional recommended ASC events (previously not tracked) are now included in ASC tracking by default.

ASC Events (Beta)

Blog image

Motive now supports Automotive Standards Council (ASC) GA4 events across our Website Product.

Dealers can enable standardized ASC event tracking directly in Admin and send data to GA4 or through GTM. This creates consistent, comparable reporting across vendors, supports cleaner departmental conversion signals, and aligns with growing OEM and agency expectations.

All supported ASC events fire natively from the Motive platform when toggled on, giving you reliable tracking without added complexity.
