Automotive
Digital Marketing

For car dealerships, repair shops, and e-commerce stores.


A Background in Automotive

Before venturing out on my own I worked for a large automotive group based in Houston, TX. I managed the Google Ads, and consulted on everything digital, for 17 franchised dealerships. Today I still help dealerships, franchise and independent, across the country.

Before that I owned three automotive detail shops and freelanced for a publication called Parts & People (covering independent repair and body shops).

The reason you’re frustrated with your current agency is why you’ll want to hire me: I know the business. 

Auditing current marketing campaigns, setting up GA4, building Vehicle Listing Ads, setting up Merchant Account Center and optimizing Pay-per-click ads are things we can help with.

Automotive Businesses I've Helped

Automotive Search Engine Marketing

 

Search Ads

Target in-market shoppers for specific makes and models. Search Ads put your dealership at the top of search results and help promote your dealer, incentives and special offers. Any automotive marketing plan should incorporate search ads.

Display Ads

Display Ads serve visually appealing ads on Google’s Display Network. The Display Network helps businesses utilize millions of websites, apps, and Google-owned properties, like YouTube and Gmail. 

 

 

Vehicle Listing Ads

if someone searches for a 2019 SUV, they’ll see several vehicle options they can either purchase nearby or get delivered — along with pictures and inventory information like location, make, model, price and mileage. These ads are becoming the cornerstone for dealership search engine marketing.

Case Study

results screenshot

 The goal with paid traffic should always be to increase leads, phone calls and other goal related conversions without inflating cost. The above chart shows Conversions in red and cost-per-conversions in blue. The green line represents when we rebuilt the campaign. We evaluated the Quality Scores of their existing keywords and focused our ad spend on Ad Groups with keywords scoring a 6 or higher.  We  also added a healthy negative keyword list, created a custom audience including in-market shoppers, and switched to a Target CPA bid strategy.

The chart below shows the same red conversion line and switched the blue line to cost. This shows we improved the conversion total without spending more money!
