What we do

Everything that brings buyers to your inventory

One team handles your paid ads, your Google Maps rankings and your social media, with one goal: more buyers walking onto your lot.

Google Ads

Search and Performance Max campaigns that reach shoppers searching for the makes and models on your lot, and turn those searches into calls, leads and test drives.

ChatGPT Ads

More and more car buyers ask ChatGPT what to buy and where. We put your dealership into those answers, early, before your competitors catch on.

Google Maps & Reviews

Show up in the top 3 when locals search “car dealer near me.” We optimize your Google Business Profile and grow your reviews every month, so you get more calls, direction requests and walk-ins.

Facebook & Instagram

Fresh inventory posts, reels and dealership updates on a set weekly schedule, so your cars get seen and buyers come in asking for them.

Photos, Backgrounds & Video

High-resolution vehicle photos, branded digital backgrounds and video walkarounds, shot by our own photographer.

Google Maps rankings

When buyers search “car dealer near me,” do they find your lot?

The top 3 dealers on Google Maps get the calls, the direction requests and the walk-ins. Where you land changes from one neighborhood to the next, and most dealers have never seen it.

Real scan from October 2026: a used-car dealer in East County San Diego with a 4.9 rating and 500+ reviews. Each number is where they rank on Google Maps when a buyer standing at that spot searches “car dealer near me.”

Great reviews aren’t enough on their own. This dealer is rated higher than almost everyone around them, and still makes the top 3 in only 4 of 25 spots. A competitor with a lower rating gets those buyers.

Why dealers trust us

You own it. We run it.

Plenty of agencies bill your ad budget through their own accounts, and you never really know where it went. We do the opposite.

  • Your accounts

    Your Google Ads and ChatGPT Ads accounts are set up in your dealership's name. If we ever part ways, you keep everything: history, data and campaigns.

  • Your credit card

    Ad spend is billed by Google and OpenAI straight to your card. We never hold your ad money, and nothing is marked up.

  • Full visibility

    You give us manager access. You can log in any time and see exactly what was spent, on what, and what it produced.

Pricing

Simple pricing based on your inventory

Every plan includes the same services. The only difference is the size of your lot and how often we post.

FAQ

Questions dealers ask us

Is ad spend included in the monthly price?

No. Our monthly fee covers management only. Your ad budget is billed by Google and OpenAI directly to your dealership's credit card, in accounts you own. You decide how much to spend, and we'll recommend a starting budget for your market.

Is there a contract?

No. Every plan is month-to-month. There are no long-term or annual contracts.

Why do I own the ad accounts instead of you?

So you always know your money is going into ads, not into our pocket. You can log in at any time and see every dollar. If you ever leave, the accounts and all their history stay with you.

How do you count my inventory?

By the number of vehicles you typically have for sale on your lot. If your inventory moves between tiers, we'll talk it through and pick the plan that fits.

What are ChatGPT Ads?

ChatGPT now shows sponsored results when people ask it for recommendations. More and more car shoppers ask ChatGPT where to buy and what to buy, and we make sure your dealership shows up in those answers.

What does the free Google Maps scan show?

A map of 25 spots around your dealership showing where you rank on Google Maps for a search like "car dealer near me," which competitors outrank you, and what we would do to move you up. It's free, with no obligation.

How long does it take to move up on Google Maps?

It depends on your market and how strong the dealers around you are. We rescan the same grid as we work, so you can see the change for yourself instead of taking our word for it.

Do I need to be on DealerSync?

No. We work with dealers on any website platform. If you are a DealerSync dealer, we already know the platform, so getting started is faster.

Do you only work in San Diego?

No. We meet dealers in person around San Diego and work with dealerships nationwide by phone and video.

How much is photography?

Photography and video are quoted separately depending on how many vehicles you need shot and how often. Ask us when we meet.
