Advertising Channels for Car Dealerships

The full list of advertising platforms, media networks and buying tools LeadLocate runs for dealerships and their agencies, in one CRM.

Most dealerships do not lack channels. They lack a way to run more than three or four of them without adding a vendor, a login and a report for each one. This directory is the same list a dealership sees inside the LeadLocate CRM under Advertising Networks, published here so that a store, or the agency that buys media for it, can see the whole field at once: the search and social platforms everyone runs, the streaming TV and audio services their market watches and listens to, the billboards and screens near the store, the publishers and network brands, the local cable and broadcast sellers, the buying platforms behind all of it, and the mail services that finish the loop.

Every channel on this page works the same way in the CRM. Campaigns are planned in Leads Manager from the zone the store sells in, the leads land in one inbox with their source attached, the follow up runs through the CRM's own texting, calling and email, and the reporting is one place. A store can run a channel through the webXintel Ads Network, which is included with every plan and managed by our team, or ask for a placement or account in its own name. Leads can be worked in LeadLocate or pushed to the CRM the store already uses by ADF. Each page below explains the channel in dealership terms, states the honest objection to it, and describes what a lead from it looks like when it arrives.

Inside the CRM, open Leads Manager, then Advertising Networks. Every channel on this page is listed there with a Request Connection button and a link to the platform's own advertiser page for stores that want to open an account themselves. A request goes to our team, which sets the channel up, usually the same day, either through the included webXintel Ads Network or under an account or order in the dealership's name. Dealerships that are not on LeadLocate yet start with a plan from the pricing page; every plan is month to month with no long term contract. Agencies that manage advertising for dealerships can connect the accounts they already hold and manage every store from one system; how LeadLocate works with agencies covers that arrangement.

Do these channels all require separate accounts?

No. The webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan, needs no account of yours. Where a dealership wants campaigns under its own name, our team sets up the account or placement on request, and agencies can connect accounts they already hold.

Is every channel here available in my market?

Every channel on this list sells nationally and can be targeted to a local zone, a state or the whole country. Networks that only operate in a single metro are deliberately left off, so a store in any US market can use anything listed.

Can leads from these channels go into the CRM we already use?

Yes. Instant Push forwards every lead to your existing CRM by ADF the moment it arrives, with the channel and campaign attached, at no change in the subscription price.

What does it cost to add a channel?

The platform is a month to month subscription priced on the pricing page. Adding a channel is a request inside the CRM; media bought under an account in your name is billed by that platform to you and is not marked up by us.

How does an agency use this list?

An agency serving dealerships connects the accounts it already manages, or requests placements for its clients, and runs every store from one Leads Manager with one set of reports. Agencies can also enroll in the referral program inside the CRM.

Request any channel from inside the CRM and our team sets it up, usually the same day. New to LeadLocate? Pick a plan, month to month, and start with the included webXintel Ads Network this week.
