The 2019 automotive landscape

  • The number of cars on the road is at an all-time high
  • New car sales are declining or flat while floor plan prices are steady or rising

How can marketing improve revenue and profit?

How do these factors affect dealers in terms of strategy, budget allocation, and potential return on investment?


The largest area of growth: Fixed Ops revenue

  • Automotive-specific Paid Search statistics and what they mean for dealerships and the auto industry
  • Fixed Ops profit margins are much higher than front-end
  • A larger portion of consumer repairs is going to independent shops instead of dealerships

 What metrics should my dealership focus on growing? Why?

How can dealers grow and take back this market share?

  • Stop ‘searching’ yourself and use Google Ad Preview instead
  • Utilize Google Ads Smart Bidding

What is Google Ads Smart Bidding?

Why is searching for my dealership on Google a negative thing?
