Autobytel Inc is an online automotive services company based in Irvine, California, founded in 1995 with the launch of autobytel.com as a pioneer in online car buying. It provides consumers with information to inform their new- and used-car purchases and offers dealers and manufacturers a spectrum of marketing resources and lead-generation capabilities. Historically, its internally generated leads have closed at a rate roughly three times the industry average, according to a 2012 R.L. Polk study. In 2017 the company rebranded as AutoWeb, Inc., aligning its corporate identity with its strategy and operations. Within the automotive sector, the firm positions itself as a conduit between shoppers and the dealer network, supporting both consumer research and transactional activity. Its business has expanded through mobile-focused product offerings and partnerships intended to enhance real-time engagement between online consumers and dealers or manufacturers. The company's primary customers are car dealers and manufacturers seeking marketing resources and access to in-market shoppers.
