Google & Social Ads for Car Dealerships

Campaigns built around real creative from your business, tight targeting and tracking that shows you cost per lead, not vanity clicks.

Paid ads can fill a calendar quickly or burn a budget just as fast. For car dealerships, the difference usually comes down to three things: targeting the right intent, using creative that looks like your actual business, and sending clicks to a page built to convert.

We run Google Search and Local Services Ads to catch people already looking, and Meta, TikTok and YouTube campaigns to reach people before they search. Because our team also shoots your content, your ads use real footage of your work and people, which consistently beats stock photos and templates.

Every campaign gets negative keywords, location and schedule controls, conversion tracking on calls and forms, and a monthly report in plain English: what you spent, how many leads came in and what each one cost.
