Adcash Advertising for Car Sales Leads

Display, native and push placements across a large international publisher base, bought self serve and targeted to your zone.

Adcash is a global advertising network selling display, native, push notification and interstitial placements across a large publisher base that is international and skews toward entertainment, utility and niche sites, with a self serve platform that targets by geography, device, interest and site, bids by click or impression, and reports by campaign. Its costs are low and its reach is broad, and its US inventory is real though less premium than the major networks'.

For a dealership the use is inexpensive reach and clicks, with the geography keeping the spend in the zone, on a mix of sites that a store should review before running. Push notification placements, which deliver an ad as a browser notification to users who opted in, are a format most dealerships have never tried and should approach carefully.

A store spends on Adcash for low cost display and native reach at scale from a self serve platform, when it has a payment story and a lead page that converts and wants to stretch a small budget. Push formats add a reach few competitors use.

The honest objection is brand safety and quality: the publisher base is international and uneven, push notifications annoy some users, and conversion from casual clicks is low, so site exclusions and frequency caps matter and a store that guards its context should skip it. It is a volume buy for a value store.

For the broader case for this kind of channel, Programmatic Display Advertising for Dealers covers it without repeating what is here.

Adcash fits used and value stores stretching a small budget with a converting lead page, and dealer groups testing low cost reach. It fits less well for luxury and franchise stores that guard context. National sellers can run it nationally.

Adcash sells its placements through its own advertising console, and that console is where our team works. There are two ways to get there. The first is the webXintel Ads Network, included with every LeadLocate plan: you make your selections in Leads Manager, the zone you sell in, the campaign type and the questions a shopper answers before a lead is created, and our team builds and runs the campaigns from those selections. The second is your own Adcash account. Ask for it from the Advertising Networks page inside the CRM and our team sets it up, usually the same day, so campaigns run under an account your dealership owns, with the spend on your card and the history in your name. If you or your agency already hold an account, say so in the request and we start from there. Nothing about the choice is permanent. A store can begin on the managed network and move to its own account later, or keep both running.

An Adcash sourced lead reaches the CRM as a click from a display, native or push placement to a LeadLocate lead page or a tracked number, attributed directly, with the campaign on the record. The follow up should assume a casual reader turned early stage shopper.

From that point the lead behaves like every other lead in LeadLocate. It is stamped with the channel and the campaign, it lands with the salesperson or the round robin you set in lead distribution, and the first touch can fire on its own, a text, an email or a task, before anyone opens it. Stores that keep working leads in a different CRM switch on Instant Push, and the lead is forwarded by ADF as it arrives; the price does not change for that. One thing worth saying on every channel page: the shopper decides what to submit. A person with a VIN picked out and a person with a payment in mind are both leads, and what to expect from car sales leads explains why that mix is normal.

The point of running Adcash through LeadLocate is not Adcash. It is that Adcash becomes one more line in a system that already holds everything else. Leads Manager is where the campaigns are planned, whatever the channel: the zone, the campaign type, the questions a shopper answers, the creative. The CRM is where the leads land, are distributed, are worked by text, email, call and voicemail drop, and are reported on in the activity, company and management reports. A store that adds Adcash does not add a login, a report or a vendor to chase; it adds a source. The same is true of the dozens of other channels on the advertising channels page, which is the list the CRM itself shows a dealership under Advertising Networks.

That matters more than it sounds. Most stores do not fail at advertising because a channel was wrong; they fail because the leads from the third and fourth channels never got worked, since nobody was watching that inbox. One inbox, one set of distribution rules and one follow up process is what makes a fourth channel worth adding at all, and the same reporting is what lets a manager see, in one place, which channel is earning its budget this month and which one is not.

For an agency running low cost reach for value dealership clients, Adcash is a self serve line with broad inventory, and connecting the store's LeadLocate CRM shows whether the cheap clicks became leads.

Agencies are how most stores buy Adcash, and LeadLocate treats the agency as part of the store's team. An agency user can manage the campaigns in Leads Manager, hold the platform accounts in its own name and connect them, pull the same reporting the dealership sees, and use the webXintel Ads Network as a lead source for clients that want results before they want a media plan. What the agency gains is the piece it typically lacks: the CRM, the distribution rules, the texting and calling, the follow up processes, all of it visible so the agency can show the store what happened after the click. Agencies that bring dealerships onto the platform can enroll in the referral program. See dealership-campaign-management-softwareL for how the agency side works.

A dealership is a local business, so every channel LeadLocate runs is planned around a zone: a radius around the store, a set of counties, or a whole state for a group. The zone editor in Leads Manager is where that is drawn, and it applies to Adcash the same way it applies to search or social. Auto brokers and stores that ship nationally can widen the zone to the country; a Toyota store in one city has no reason to pay for shoppers in another, and does not. Groups give each rooftop its own zone so two stores in the same group never bid against each other for the same household. One rule worth knowing before you plan a financing campaign: campaigns that mention financing run under fair lending rules, which do not allow narrowing an audience by age, gender, income, marital status, household size, education, language or ZIP, and Leads Manager locks those controls. Vehicle and geography targeting is unaffected.

The setup cost of Adcash, in your time, is a click. The Advertising Networks page in the CRM lists it beside every other channel; Request Connection opens a support request our team works, usually the same day. Stores that are new to LeadLocate choose a plan on the pricing page, month to month with no long term contract, and start with the webXintel Ads Network the same week. Media bought through a Adcash account in your name is billed by Adcash directly to you. Your existing CRM, if you have one, keeps receiving leads through Instant Push by ADF, and the price does not change for that.

From there it is a conversation, not a contract. Our team confirms the zone and the selections, says plainly what Adcash is likely to do for a store of your size, and agrees a review date. If the reporting shows Adcash earning its budget, it stays; if it does not, it is switched off from the same page, the store keeps every lead and record it produced, and the budget moves to a channel that did better in the same report.

What is a push notification ad?

An ad delivered as a browser notification to users who opted in on a publisher site, which reaches them off the page. It is inexpensive and some users find it intrusive, so it is a format to approach carefully.

Is Adcash brand safe?

Its publisher base is broad and uneven, so site exclusions and category targeting matter, and a store that guards its context should use a premium network instead.

How is the campaign measured?

By clicks from placements to the lead page and the tracked number, attributed directly in the CRM and compared against other networks on cost per lead.

Do I need my own Adcash account to run it through LeadLocate?

No. The webXintel Ads Network is included with every plan and needs no account of yours. If you want campaigns under an account your dealership owns, request the connection from the Advertising Networks page and our team sets it up, or connects the Adcash account you or your agency already hold.

Can Adcash leads go into the CRM we already use?

Yes. Turn on Instant Push in the CRM settings and every lead is forwarded to your existing CRM by ADF the moment it arrives, with its source attached. The subscription price is the same whether you work leads in LeadLocate or forward them.

What does LeadLocate charge for Adcash?

The platform is a monthly subscription, month to month with no long term contract; the plans are on the pricing page and each includes the webXintel Ads Network. Media you buy through your own Adcash account is billed by Adcash to you, not marked up by us. We do not tie the price to results, because no one can promise what a shopper will do.

Request Adcash from inside the CRM and our team sets it up, usually the same day. Not on LeadLocate yet? Pick a plan, month to month, and start with the included webXintel Ads Network this week.
