FAQ
Paid Advertising for Automotive: Common Questions
How do you integrate with our inventory for ads?
Feed-based dynamic ads. Your inventory system exports to Google Merchant Center, and ads automatically feature specific vehicles with pricing and photos. When a car sells, the ad disappears. No manual updates needed.
Can you help with OEM co-op advertising requirements?
Yes, we build campaigns that comply with manufacturer co-op requirements for reimbursement. We're familiar with the common OEM programs and can help maximize your co-op utilization.
How do you balance sales versus service advertising?
Based on your goals and seasonality. Service advertising provides steady revenue and customer retention; sales advertising is more seasonal. We typically run both with budget allocation adjusted monthly based on performance and priorities.
