Services

## Marketing services for car dealerships

Paid Google services first, backed by the channels that support them. We focus on marketing that produces leads and sales.

### Google Ads / PPC search

Search campaigns built on the high-intent keywords car dealerships customers type when they are ready to act, with tight negative keywords to cut wasted clicks.

Challenges & solutions

## What makes marketing for car dealerships hard, and how we handle it

### Competing with nearby dealers

Several dealers selling the same brand bid on identical terms.

**How we solve it:** Tight geo-targeting and ads that highlight your real differentiators.

### Leads that never show up

Form fills that go nowhere waste sales team time.

**How we solve it:** We optimize toward calls and qualified leads, not just clicks, and refine with your feedback.

### Sales and service mixed together

One campaign for everything hides what is working.

**How we solve it:** Separate sales and service campaigns, budgets and reporting.

Dealership playbook

## How we structure Google Ads for car dealerships

### New, used and certified pre-owned

New-vehicle shoppers search by model and trim, while used-car shoppers search by budget, body style and “used SUV near me.” We split these into separate campaigns so a high-margin used inventory push never competes with factory-supported new models for budget, and each gets ads that speak to how that buyer shops.

### Conquesting and brand protection

Nearby dealers often bid on your dealership name. We protect your brand terms cheaply and test carefully chosen conquest keywords on competing makes and rooftops, only keeping them where they produce real appointments.

### Measuring what the sales floor sees

Clicks don’t sell cars. We track calls, chat and form leads by campaign and ask your BDC or sales managers which leads became appointments, then feed that back into bidding so the account learns which searches turn into sold units.

FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

Can you promote both new and used inventory?

Yes. We structure campaigns by new, used and service so each gets the right budget and message.

Do you also advertise our service department?

Yes. Service campaigns are managed separately from sales.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. Paid ads (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, paid social and ChatGPT Ads) are month to month with no long-term contracts. SEO has a 3-month minimum because organic results take time to build.

What results can we expect?

Our paid ad campaigns average a 12–16% conversion rate across accounts. That is an average, not a guarantee; your results depend on your market, offer, budget and website. We set up conversion tracking first so you can see exactly what the campaigns produce.

How quickly will we hear back?

We reply the same business day. Book a call or phone (800) 707-2697 to talk about marketing for car dealerships.
