Automotive PPC Agency

Campaigns for test drives, service bookings and sales

PPC for dealerships, rental companies, service centers and automotive brands, managed by our team in Bucharest for companies in Romania, the UK, the US and across Europe.

We build campaigns around the cars you have in stock, the areas you sell in and the actions that lead to a sale: test drive requests, calls, service bookings and finance inquiries.

What automotive PPC covers

Search campaigns for model, used car and service searches, inventory-based ads where the platform supports them, paid social for launches and offers, and remarketing for buyers who compare for weeks. Each campaign type has its own budget, so new car promotions do not take money away from service bookings.

02

Why automotive needs its own approach

Car buyers research for weeks, compare dealers within driving distance and contact several before they decide. A campaign that counts every click the same pays for people who browse models they will never buy. Location, stock and the type of inquiry decide what a click is worth.

03

How we run it

We split the account by category: new, used, leasing, service and parts. Keywords and audiences follow the models you have in stock, targeting follows the areas your customers come from, and calls and forms are tracked to the point where your sales team marks a lead as qualified.

/WHAT HAPPENS
BEHIND THE ADS

Most of the work in an automotive account is invisible in the ads themselves.

  • Inventory feeds connected to ads, so sold cars stop appearing within a day
  • Call tracking on ads and on the site, with calls matched to campaigns
  • Location targeting drawn around the areas each showroom really sells to
  • Separate conversion values for test drives, service bookings and finance requests
  • Qualified leads from your CRM imported back into Google Ads

The result is an account where you can see which campaigns bring test drives and which only bring traffic.
