Pay-Per-Click
Advertising On Google
PPC, or Pay per click advertising allows your dealership to get found much more often by customers searching for your vehicles.
Why Run PPC Ads on Google?
Most dealerships rely on classified ad sites such as AutoTrader or CarGurus to generate leads.
These sites have major drawbacks:

Types Of PPC Ads On Google
The bread and butter of Google Ads. Search ads are ads that display when someone searches with a specific keyword that triggers an ad. There are normally 3-4 search ads displayed at the top of the search engine results page or SERP.
With automotive, this is often a car model. But, can also be more generic terms like “used cars near me,” or “Dodge dealers near me.”
Note that as a general rule, the more generic a search term is:
- The more expensive the term will be per click
- Or, the less likely you will be to get low-funnel leads from targeting the term
For dealerships looking to increase foot traffic, local campaigns are a great option. While we love local SEO and getting ranked organically for local searches, that takes time and you may need leads immediately.
Paying to show up on local searches and on map searches will help dealers overcome the competition and drive more people to visit brick and mortar locations in person.
Google utilizes machine learning to maximize store visits, call clicks, and/or direction clicks to your dealership location(s).
Google Adwords allows you to improve and relaunch your SEM campaigns on autopilot.
Display ads can show up on any one of 2+ billion websites that are part of the Google Network.
Most businesses use display ads to retarget people who have been to their website before. You can also show display ads to in-market shoppers…
For example, if you’re a Ford franchise, or happen to carry a large inventory of used Ford vehicles, you could use Audience targeting to show a display ad linking to all of your Ford inventory.
You can get even more granular than this by mixing and matching demographics. The possibilities are nearly endless.
PPC Ads on Google are one of the most effective ways to grow your business and reach new customers.
