MAXIMIZE LEADS AND SALES DESPITE MARKET FORCES!
Dealer.com connects your vehicles and dealership services with in-market shoppers—with a flexible, intelligent and secure advertising platform powered by data you can only get from Cox Automotive. With Cox, we gather buying signals from 3 of 4 automotive consumers, so we know a lot about Ford and Lincoln shoppers, and we combine that knowledge with more than a decade of digital advertising experience to offer you the most effective advertising portfolio aligned to your sales and service strategy.
Dealer.com’s enhanced advertising solution delivers these key benefits:
MAKE SMARTER INVESTMENTS ACROSS THE CHANNELS THAT MATTER MOST
Our platform deploys personalized, integrated ad campaigns that use advanced data-targeting, AI, and impactful creative to reach prospective buyers and owners through search, display, social media and video channels. The result? Precision advertising that connects the right shopper to the right vehicle or service at the right time, every time.
CAPITALIZE ON BUYING SIGNALS FROM 3 OF 4 AUTOMOTIVE CONSUMERS
The breadth of data available through the Cox Automotive Enterprise is your strategic advantage. We deliver targeted ad campaigns across multiple channels to relevant in-market shoppers, including those who have browsed Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book. vAuto data drives smarter ad copy that wins more clicks. Pricing data from Xtime drives more relevant fixed-ops campaigns. All of this business intelligence—paired with valuable audience data from FordDirect—puts you and your strategy in the driver’s seat.
ADAPT YOUR PORTFOLIO TO MEET YOUR EVOLVING NEEDS
Backed by digital marketing expertise and our proprietary Compass Advertising Intelligence engine, you’ll build an advertising portfolio from the ground up that can pivot when you need it to and focuses solely on the strategy you set. Prioritize the vehicles and campaigns that are going to move metal, and create new opportunities for all your profit centers.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT FROM FRAUD
Because your digital marketing dollars are precious and finite, we do more to make sure each dollar goes as far as it can. Last year Dealer.com’s fraud-busting partnerships with White Ops and the Trustworthy Accountability Group detected and blocked more than 1.4 billion bots, protecting more than $6.5 Billion in dealer investment from wasteful ad fraud. Dealer.com is the only automotive advertising partner to offer such protection.
THE POWER IS IN THE PORTFOLIO
A multi-channel, data-powered, and dealer-first portfolio strategy drives more high-quality traffic, website engagement, and leads.*
