San Diego, California, September 13, 2018 – Search Optics^®, a leading global digital marketing provider with expertise in the automotive industry, was selected by D21 Motors, the CAOA Chery dealer network in Brasil, to develop an optimised, responsive web presence spanning all 26 D21 Motors dealer locations.
