Pay per call for car dealerships turns inventory searches into showroom conversations — but the underlying engine is search. Shoppers researching “used SUVs under $30k near me” or “trade-in value” convert fastest when a call connects them to a live salesperson, and our Google Ads management builds call-first campaigns around your actual inventory segments. Gross per vehicle runs $400 to $3,500, clicks cost $2 to $6, and qualified calls land at $20 to $65.
Year-round demand peaks with plate-change months and tax-refund season, and fixed-ops campaigns (service, parts) add a second revenue stream with far less competition. We extend winning campaigns into Microsoft Advertising for cheaper incremental clicks. One dealership per market — from Leeds to Wellington — month-to-month, accounts in your name.

How we’d run your car dealerships campaigns
For this trade we lead with Google Ads management — 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 car dealerships clients say
“Inventory-matched campaigns ended the days of advertising cars we sold weeks ago. Showroom appointments up forty percent in the first quarter, and the service-lane campaigns filled our workshop weekdays.”
“Twenty-nine qualified sales calls in month one and eleven cars shifted that we traced directly to the campaigns. Microsoft Ads add-on gets us clicks at nearly half the Google price.”
