Every month I try to bring value to our dealers by offering useful information that will help dealers stay on top of their internet strategies. Today’s topic is PPC (Pay Per Click)/SEM (Search Engine Marketing). With 2014 right around the corner and budget discussions starting, it’s time to get a better understanding of how your ad spend is being utilized and how to hold your vendor or in house marketers accountable!
Did you know that 95% of car dealers today are getting cheated out of their ad spend? The biggest issue I see in the auto industry is companies taking advantage of car dealers because of the lack of knowledge car dealers have in this area. It reminds me of SEO (search engine optimization) companies 5 years ago preying on car dealers to spend money on something that could not be measured effectively. I have audited over 300 dealers and 95% of them have a failing grade when it comes to their digital marketing efforts.
Thankfully today, PPC/SEM can be effectively measured and I’m going to show you exactly how to it’s done.
Any dealer that would like their PPC/SEM campaigns graded, please fill out the contact form below, and we will break it down for you in a way you will understand, by your GRADE!. Lets take a look at a car dealer below who has a budget for a Toyota franchise of $6,000 per month.
Here’s The Tip: 95% of car dealers are getting cheated out of ad dollars and they don’t even know it! With 2014 around the corner and budget discussions starting, its time you get your problem corrected today. If you want a free analysis of your current efforts please contact us.
