How Dealers Can Win With Multimodal Search in 2025

Matt Copley - Co-Founder & CRO, Hrizn

How Dealers Can Win With Multimodal Search in 2025

The future of dealership marketing requires brands to be machine readable, context aware, and discoverable in every way customers choose to search, whether with text, voice, images, or video. Building a strategy for multimodal search is now essential for reaching the modern buyer.

Understand How Customers Search Across Different Inputs

Today’s customers use images, selfies, video, voice, and traditional text queries to research and shop. Younger buyers especially are embracing visual and voice search tools. Dealers need to listen to customers, review support questions, and collect feedback to learn how people are searching and what input types they prefer. This allows you to create content that meets customers where they are.

Make Every Asset Machine Readable and Rich in Context

Your content should be as understandable to AI as it is to humans. This means using structured data, clear markup, captions, alt text, transcripts, and detailed metadata for every website image, video, and voice interface. With Hrizn, schema and structured data are generated automatically for all major content types, making your content ready for voice assistants, image search, and future AI interfaces.

Tailor Content for Each Input Type

Each search modality has its own intent. Voice queries are conversational and often urgent. Image searches are visual and comparison driven. Video content brings together audio and visuals for storytelling and product education. Dealers should use Hrizn templates to match the format to the intent. For example, voice optimized model pages give direct answers to common questions, while image focused content provides annotated visuals and comparison charts.

Create Consistency Across All Channels

Multimodal search requires that marketing, sales, design, and tech teams work together. Every channel and format should present a unified brand identity, with visual cues, messaging, and data patterns that AI and real people can both recognize. Hrizn’s brand governance tools make it easy to maintain consistency in tone, layout, and information everywhere your dealership appears.

How Hrizn Supports Your Multimodal Search Strategy

Personalized Content for Every Search Type
Hrizn lets you build landing pages, expert Q and A, and comparison tools designed for voice, image, and text search. Each page is automatically structured for machines and humans, including transcripts and captions.

Structured Data Everywhere
Whether you are launching model guides, community stories, or event pages, Hrizn adds schema markup to ensure your content is discoverable by all modern search engines and AI systems.

Assets for Voice and Video
Hrizn generates script options, video teasers, and messaging for email and social media, so your brand stays visible and consistent wherever your customers are searching or sharing.

Smarter Analytics and Planning
Feed customer inquiries and search patterns into Hrizn’s planning tools to improve future content and stay ahead of new search trends.

The Bottom Line

Dealerships cannot afford to ignore multimodal search. Brands need to be accessible, trustworthy, and recognizable whether customers search by typing, speaking, snapping a photo, or watching a video. Hrizn gives you the tools to deliver structured, branded content at scale so your dealership is present wherever customers are looking next.
