📝 Step 3: Add Accurate Vehicle Details

🧠 Pro Tip: Use clear, keyword-rich titles like:

“2017 Toyota Axio – Clean, One Owner, Nairobi Registered”

Such headlines improve your search ranking on Automart and Google.

📸 Step 4: Upload High-Quality Photos (and Video)

Listings with great visuals get up to 3x more buyer enquiries.

Photo checklist:

  • Take photos in daylight with a clean background.
  • Include: Front, Back, Left, Right, Interior, Dashboard, Engine Bay, Tyres, and Logbook.
  • Ensure images are well-lit, not blurry, and under 5 MB each.

🎥 If possible, upload a short video clip showcasing the car’s condition — this builds trust instantly.

💬 Step 5: Write a Strong Description

Your description helps convince buyers that your car is worth viewing.

Include details like:

  • Ownership history (“First owner, lady-driven”)
  • Service records (“Regularly serviced at Toyota Kenya”)
  • Condition (“Clean interior, new tyres, accident-free”)
  • Reason for selling (“Upgrading to SUV”)

Keep it honest, clear, and positive. Add contact instructions, e.g.:

“Call or WhatsApp me on 07xx xxx xxx for viewing in Nairobi CBD.”

⚙️ Step 6: Choose Visibility Options (Optional Boosts)
