Used car dealers customer acquisition is inventory-turn marketing: every day a unit sits on the lot it costs money, so the dealer who matches live inventory to live search demand sells faster at better gross. With front-end profit of $400–$3,500 per unit — before finance and trade-in value — leads costing $20–$65 only need to convert occasionally to pay for the entire program.
Our lead generation service for independent dealers connects inventory feeds to advertising: vehicle-specific ads for the units aging on your lot, finance-preapproval funnels that qualify buyers before they visit, and reputation work that wins the trust battle independents fight daily. One dealer per market — browse our published markets — flat published pricing, month-to-month, accounts you own.

How we’d run your used car dealers campaigns
For this trade we lead with lead generation — backed by call tracking, dedicated landing pages and weekly optimization. These are the services we’d combine:
How the five countries differ
Same trade, different auctions. We adjust bids, budgets and messaging per country — never a copied US campaign with the flag swapped.
- Canada Search behaviour mirrors the US, with bilingual campaigns a must in Québec and pronounced seasonal swings driven by real winters.
- United States The largest and most competitive ad auctions — tight geo-targeting and call tracking separate profitable campaigns from expensive ones.
- Australia Smaller search volumes with strong mobile share; budgets stretch noticeably further outside Sydney and Melbourne.
- New Zealand A compact market where a disciplined campaign can dominate a trade across an entire region quickly.
- United Kingdom Dense local competition and high metro CPCs — landing-page quality and review volume make the difference.
What used car dealers clients say
“Days-on-lot dropped from 48 to 31 in the first quarter, and the preapproval funnel sends buyers who actually close — 22 units last month traced to the campaigns at about $55 a lead. We own everything they built, including the ad account.”
“Vehicle-specific ads for aging stock cleared six units that had sat for 60-plus days, and enquiries run steady at 40 a month. Cost per sale works out near $180 against healthy front-end gross. Sensible flat fee and straight monthly numbers.”
