Inventory Marketing

Market every vehicle on your lot.

From the moment a car hits your lot to the day it drives off, every vehicle gets its own targeted marketing strategy — automated, optimized, and always on.

VDP SEO & Structured Data

Optimize every vehicle detail page for Google search with schema markup that surfaces price, mileage, and availability directly in search results — driving qualified traffic to each listing.

Google Ads for Inventory

Dynamic inventory ads that show real-time stock to in-market shoppers searching for the exact make, model, and trim sitting on your lot right now.

Dynamic Remarketing

Re-engage shoppers who viewed specific vehicles with personalized display ads featuring the exact car they browsed, including current price and availability.

Seasonal Campaigns

Pre-built campaigns for model year clearance, holiday sales events, and new arrivals — timed to match your OEM incentive calendar and market demand cycles.

Service Revenue

Your service department is a goldmine.

Fixed ops generates higher margins than sales — yet most dealerships barely market it. We build campaigns that fill your service bays, boost RO counts, and turn one-time buyers into lifetime service customers.

Service Appointment Ads

Google Ads campaigns targeting high-intent searches like “oil change near me,” “brake repair [city],” and “tire rotation deals” — driving bookings directly from search results.

Retention Email Campaigns

Automated service reminders, seasonal maintenance offers, and loyalty programs that keep customers returning after every service interval.

Review Generation

Systematic review collection after every service visit with automated follow-ups, direct links to Google, and reputation monitoring that builds trust at scale.

Digital Showroom

Your website is your best salesperson.

We turn your dealership website into a 24/7 selling machine with immersive vehicle pages, smart lead capture, and conversion tools that work while your team sleeps.

Virtual Walk-Arounds

360-degree vehicle presentations, video walkthroughs, and interactive feature highlights on every VDP that bring the showroom experience online.

Smart Lead Routing

AI-powered lead scoring and instant routing to the right salesperson based on vehicle interest, browsing behavior, and purchase intent signals.

Trade-In Valuation

Integrated trade-in estimators that capture leads and start the sales conversation before shoppers ever set foot on your lot.

Choosing An Agency

How to choose an automotive marketing agency.

Every agency says it understands dealerships. Here's what to actually check before you sign anything.

01 · Ask to see it

Real dealership work you can click through

Car shoppers research for weeks and then decide in days, and your lot changes every time a vehicle sells or arrives. That means generic small-business marketing doesn't translate: an agency needs to show you actual VDP pages, inventory ads, or DMS-fed campaigns they've built, not a slide with stock photos and a client logo wall. Ask for a live link, not a screenshot.

02 · Follow the money

Pricing that's public, not "custom quote only"

Automotive is one of the few industries where the ad budget and the agency fee routinely get blurred together. Some shops mark up your media spend or bundle a platform fee you never see itemized, so ask exactly how much goes to Google and how much is the agency's fee, in writing, before you sign. Our plan is one monthly fee, separate from your ad budget, and that budget goes to Google in full. We don't mark it up.

03 · Match the calendar

No long-term contract locking you past a bad model year

Dealership marketing runs on a calendar most agencies outside the industry don't track: model-year clearance, OEM incentive changes, seasonal service demand. A 12-month contract signed in a slow month can lock you into a plan that no longer fits once incentives change. We run month-to-month with no long-term contracts, so you can adjust as the calendar does.

04 · Read the report

Reporting tied to leads and appointments, not just clicks

A report full of impressions and click-through rate doesn't tell you whether your service bays are full or your VDPs are converting. Before you sign, ask to see a sample report and confirm it ties back to test drives, service bookings, or cost per lead, the numbers your GM actually uses.

05 · Check who owns what

You keep your Google Ads account and your DMS integration

Some agencies build your campaigns inside an account they control, so if you switch agencies later you can lose your click history, your remarketing lists, and sometimes your DMS feed connection along with them. Ask who owns the ad account and the inventory feed setup before you sign. With us, your Google Ads account and your data stay yours no matter what you decide later.

Transparent Pricing

What automotive marketing actually costs.

One monthly plan, $0 setup, month to month, with a 30-day guarantee: if the first 30 days don't show real work and results, that month is free. Here is how it breaks down.

Platform plan: $1,000 USD a month

That is $1,350 CAD. It covers a custom dealership website built to rank, hosting and care, basic SEO and AI search setup, and the SearchPod dashboard for leads, bookings, analytics and email follow-ups. Full details at /pricing.

Performance plan (optional)

Want us to push growth harder? We take on full SEO for VDPs, service and location pages, plus Google Ads and Meta Ads and conversion work, with a written growth plan. The fee is based on the results we bring in, and your proposal sets out the exact terms.

Ad spend stays separate

Your inventory and VDP ad budget is never part of our fee. It goes to Google or Meta in full, so every dollar you set aside actually reaches shoppers.
