What we optimise to
Cost per test drive and per sale
The problem

Car buyers research for weeks. Most campaigns only see the last click.

Challenge 01

Stock changes daily

Ads keep promoting cars that sold last week, while new arrivals sit without traffic.

Challenge 02

Every site competes with the others

Dealer groups end up bidding against themselves on brand and model terms.

Challenge 03

Leads go offline

Calls, walk-ins and finance applications rarely make it back into the ad platform, so it optimises to the wrong thing.

How we run it

Campaigns built around your stock and your showrooms.

01

Live stock-feed campaigns

We connect your inventory feed so ads show the cars you actually have, with price and mileage, and pause the moment a car sells.

Vehicle adsPMaxFeed rules
02

Site-by-site targeting

Each showroom gets its own radius, budget and reporting, so groups stop competing with themselves.

Location targetingBudgets per site
03

Model and offer search

Tight campaigns for new, used, Motability, finance and servicing, each with its own landing page and message.

04

Offline conversion tracking

Test drives, calls and sales from your CRM go back into Google and Meta, so bidding favours buyers rather than browsers.

Do you work with franchised dealers and independents?

Yes. We work with franchised dealer groups, independents and automotive brands. The setup differs, especially around manufacturer guidelines and co-op funding, and we plan for that from the start.

Can you advertise our live used stock?

Yes. We connect your stock feed to Google so vehicle ads and Performance Max show the cars in your forecourt, with price and mileage. When a car sells, it drops out of the ads.

How do you track sales that happen in the showroom?

We set up call tracking and import outcomes from your CRM or DMS into Google Ads and Meta. That lets the platforms learn which clicks become test drives and sales.

What about finance offers in ads?

Finance messaging in UK ads has to follow FCA rules, and Google may ask for financial services verification. We work from your approved finance wording so offers stay compliant.

Do you run aftersales campaigns too?

Yes. Servicing, MOT and parts campaigns usually run alongside sales and are often some of the most profitable in the account.
