El Toro Advertising for Car Sales Leads

Display and connected TV delivered to specific households, matched from a mailing list or a drawn map to their internet connections.

El Toro is an IP targeting platform that matches physical addresses to the internet connections serving them, so an advertiser can upload a list of addresses, its sold customers, its service customers, a purchased list, or draw a map of a neighborhood, and deliver display and connected television ads to exactly those households without cookies or device tracking, with reporting that matches the households reached to the ones that later visited the store or bought. It sells to advertisers and agencies, and its reporting reaches the CRM as reporting first, which our team reads back.

For a dealership that is a direct mail list turned into digital: the households in the CRM due for a trade, the service customers with equity, the unsold leads from last quarter, or the neighborhood around a competitor, reached with display and connected TV at their own homes. It pairs naturally with a mailing to the same list, and the match back report shows which households responded.

Connecting your own El Toro account to the CRM has its own page: Run El Toro from Your Dealership CRM. This page is about the channel and the leads.

A store spends on El Toro to advertise digitally to a specific list of households, its own or a drawn map, with display and connected TV, and to match the households reached against the ones that showed up, which is measurement direct mail never had. For equity mining and conquest lists it is unusually precise.

The honest objection is that address matching is imperfect and reaches a share of any list, that display and connected TV read through visits and branded search over weeks, and that a financing campaign cannot use household data to narrow audiences by protected characteristics, a rule Leads Manager enforces. Its reporting connects to the CRM as reporting our team reads back.

For the broader case for this kind of channel, Geofencing Advertising for Car Dealerships covers it without repeating what is here.

El Toro fits franchise stores with customer lists to mine, stores running conquest campaigns around competitors, and dealer groups pairing digital with direct mail. It fits less well for stores without lists or a defined neighborhood target. National sellers can run it nationally against national lists.

Getting onto El Toro is a commercial step before it is a technical one: their team, a minimum, a creative review. That is exactly the kind of work a store does not want to run itself, and it is what our team does when you request El Toro from the Advertising Networks page in the CRM. We open the conversation in your dealership's name, agree the placement, and then manage it from Leads Manager like every other channel, with the results reported back into the CRM. If your dealership or agency already has a relationship with El Toro, say so in the request and we start there. Meanwhile the webXintel Ads Network, which is included, carries on producing leads, so nothing waits on the partner timeline.

An El Toro sourced lead reaches the CRM as a click from a display placement to a LeadLocate lead page or a vehicle page, a branded search during a connected TV flight, a walk in from a matched household logged with the source, or a direct inquiry, attributed directly for the clicks and over weeks for the rest, with El Toro's match back report beside the CRM's.

Once it is in the CRM the channel stops mattering and the process takes over. The lead shows its source and campaign, the pre screening answers you asked for in Leads Manager, and it routes by the distribution rules you set, to a person or a rotation. Automated first contact, by text, email or a scheduled call, is optional and configurable. If the store's process lives in another CRM, Instant Push forwards each lead there by ADF on arrival, and the subscription price is the same either way. Expect a mix: shoppers who name a vehicle and shoppers who name a budget, both of them worth a call, as what to expect from car sales leads sets out.

The point of running El Toro through LeadLocate is not El Toro. It is that El Toro 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 El Toro 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, El Toro turns a dealership client's customer lists and conquest maps into digital campaigns with a match back report the dealer trusts, and connecting the store's LeadLocate CRM pairs that report with the leads and walk ins that followed.

Agencies are how most stores buy El Toro, 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 automotive-advertising-agency-alternativeL 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 El Toro 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 El Toro, 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 El Toro account in your name is billed by El Toro 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 El Toro is likely to do for a store of your size, and agrees a review date. If the reporting shows El Toro 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 lists can a dealership use with El Toro?

Its own CRM lists, such as sold customers due for a trade or service customers with equity, purchased lists, or a drawn map of a neighborhood. Financing campaigns keep the list inside fair lending rules, with protected characteristics left out.

How accurate is address matching?

It reaches a share of any list, not all of it, since not every address matches cleanly to a connection. The match back report shows which reached households responded.

How is the campaign measured?

By clicks from placements to the lead page, branded search lift during connected TV flights, walk ins from matched households logged with the source, direct inquiries and El Toro's match back report, in the CRM by week.

Does my dealership need its own relationship with El Toro?

Not to start. Request El Toro from the Advertising Networks page in the CRM and our team opens the conversation with El Toro for your store. If you or your agency already have a relationship there, tell us in the request and we work inside it.

Can El Toro leads go into the CRM we already use?

Yes. Instant Push forwards every lead to your existing CRM by ADF the moment it arrives, with its source attached, and the price of the subscription is unchanged.

What does LeadLocate charge for El Toro?

The platform subscription, month to month and priced on the pricing page, includes the webXintel Ads Network. A El Toro placement carries whatever commitment El Toro sets, billed for your dealership; we do not mark it up and we never tie our price to results.

One more channel, no new login, no new report. Ask for El Toro inside the CRM or talk to a lead specialist about which channels fit your store first.
