Audiohook Integration for Dealerships

Audiohook for dealerships and the agencies that run them, available on request with one report and one point of contact.

Audiohook is a demand side platform for audio. Rather than selling a station or a show, it buys across streaming music, radio streams and podcasts programmatically, and it is built around the thing audio has historically been worst at: proving something happened afterwards. Targeting, delivery reporting and conversion measurement sit in the same tool.

The pitch to an advertiser is that audio can be run the way search and social are run. Set a geography, a budget and a target, launch, then read a report that connects exposure to a site visit or a form submission rather than to an estimated audience. For a category that spent decades saying trust us, that is a genuine shift in posture.

For a dealership the appeal is obvious. Audio reaches people in the car, which is the one place a vehicle is already on somebody's mind, and a store that has avoided the medium because it could never justify the spend to an owner now has a report to point at. Whether that report says what it appears to say is the subject of the next section.

The case is discipline. Buying audio through a performance oriented platform forces a store to define a geography, a frequency and an outcome before spending, which is more rigour than most radio schedules ever receive. Counted impressions replace panel estimates, delivery is visible by day, and the budget can stop on a Tuesday if it is not working. None of that is available when audio is bought as a quarterly schedule from a rate card.

The honest objection is that an attributed audio conversion is a model, not an observation. Nobody clicks an audio ad. Attribution in this category works by comparing people who were probably exposed against people who probably were not, usually through device level location or identity signals, and then crediting the difference. The comparison group is chosen by the platform, the exposure is inferred, and the resulting lift figure is produced by the party selling the media. That is not fraud, it is methodology, and it should be read the way you would read a supplier's own quality report.

The second objection is incrementality. Audio supply overlaps heavily with the audiences you are already reaching through display and social, so a lift attributed to a spot may be a shopper who was already surrounded by your advertising. Ask what the control group was, how exposure was determined, and whether the measurement window is longer than the buying cycle it is meant to explain.

Any dealership on LeadLocate can run Audiohook. The request is a line in the Advertising Networks page of the CRM or a sentence to your account manager, and from there our team handles the platform side: the account or the placement, the credentials, the geography, the campaign structure and the reporting back into the CRM. If Audiohook requires an application or a contract on its side, we file it in your dealership's name and keep you posted, so the only thing the store has to decide is what it wants to say and where.

You keep the choice of whose login the campaigns live under. Under the webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan, they live under ours, built from the zone, campaign type and pre screening questions you set in Leads Manager. Under your own Audiohook account they live under yours, on your billing, with the account history staying with the store. Agencies that already hold a Audiohook account for the dealership keep it and we work inside it. Moving between the two is a request, not a project.

Think of the connection as two lanes. Outbound carries what you decided in Leads Manager, the zone, the budget, the dates, the objective and the approved creative, to Audiohook. Inbound carries the numbers back, spend, impressions, clicks and reported results, into the same reporting every other channel uses, so Audiohook is one line in a report rather than another dashboard to log into.

Leads arrive either through a form inside Audiohook where the platform offers one, posted to the CRM as it is submitted, or through a click to a LeadLocate lead page in your dealership's name, with the pre screening questions you chose, so every inquiry is a lead in the CRM with the campaign attached. Each lead arrives with its source and campaign attached, the CRM's texting, calling and email pick it up, and Instant Push sends it by ADF to any CRM your store already runs, at no change in price. The mix of leads to expect is described on what to expect from car sales leads.

On our side the access token is encrypted before it is stored, every push, pause, report and verify against Audiohook is logged with the company, the user and the detail, and campaign objects record which credentials created them. Your customer file and your inventory do not leave the CRM unless you ask us to use them on Audiohook, and when you do, our team builds that audience or that inventory creative for your store.

Every advertising platform LeadLocate runs answers the same seven questions: where to send a user to authorize, how to turn the code into a token, which accounts the token can see, how to deploy a campaign, how to pause and resume it, how to read spend and results, and how to prove the connection is still alive. Audiohook answers them the way every other network does, through an adapter our team maintains, so adding it to your store is scoped work rather than an open ended project.

What sits under that contract is shared and finished: encrypted token storage, an append only audit log carrying the company, the network, the user and the detail, and campaign objects that remember which credentials created them. That is why a store can turn Audiohook on beside search, social and streaming television and get one report, and why an agency can run several dealerships through the same gateway without one store ever seeing another's data.

Audiohook issues advertising credentials after an application it reviews, so there is an onboarding step on the vendor's side before campaigns run. Our team files that application in your dealership's name, follows it through and connects the account the day it clears. Where the store or its agency already holds approved access, we work inside it and skip the wait.

None of that lands on the dealership. A store tells us what it wants and whether it already has a Audiohook account or an agency running one, and our team does the filing, the registration and the setup, then confirms when campaigns can start.

There are two ways to advertise through LeadLocate and you pick between them. The first is the webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan: our team builds and runs the campaigns from the selections you make in Leads Manager, and it arrives as one line rather than a stack of platform invoices. It is running from the day your account is activated and it keeps running while Audiohook is being set up.

The second is your own Audiohook account. Connect the account your store already holds, or let our team open one in your dealership's name, and campaigns route through it, on your billing, in your name, with your spend history intact. A store that already runs Audiohook through an agency uses this path so the account and its history stay where they are. Disconnect whenever you like and delivery falls back to the managed path without anything else changing.

Pushing, pausing and reading Audiohook is done by our team on your behalf, so a change is a message rather than a login, and if you want controls opened in your own dashboard, ask and we set that up for your store.

Audiohook sets its own commercial terms and our team confirms the practical minimum for your market before anything is booked, so the budget is a number you agreed to rather than a surprise on an invoice. On timing, judge Audiohook over a full flight rather than a weekend: a shopper reached today searches your store by name days later, and the CRM shows that lift beside the direct leads. Our team sets a review date with you at the start, so the first read of Audiohook happens at the right distance rather than after a nervous weekend.

The first campaign is deliberately simple: one zone, one objective, one offer, with the pre screening questions that keep a lead worth a phone call. Once it has a read, the store widens by format, by radius or by budget, and each step is a message to our team rather than a rebuild. Everything reports into the same CRM view as the rest of your advertising, so Audiohook is judged beside search, social and the webXintel Ads Network rather than on its own dashboard.

Audiohook offers more than campaign delivery, and a dealership that wants any of it only has to ask. Conversion feedback that tells Audiohook which clicks became sales, audiences built from your customer file, vehicle level creative driven by your inventory, custom reporting exports, or a workflow that belongs to your store alone: our team scopes it against the gateway and builds it into the CRM for your dealership. The platform is ours, so the sky is the limit, and the only real limit is what a store can think of.

That is true across networks too. A dealership that wants Audiohook, Facebook and a streaming service in one platform, with one report and one point of contact, gets exactly that. Tell us what you want to see and where, and our team makes it work. The full list of channels is on advertising channels for car dealerships.

The whole process is a request. Open the Advertising Networks page in the CRM, ask for Audiohook, and tell us two things: whether the store or its agency already has a Audiohook account, and what you want to run first. Our team does the rest and comes back with a start date. Dealerships that are not yet customers pick a plan on the pricing page, month to month, and start with the included webXintel Ads Network the same week while Audiohook is arranged.

The subscription price is the same whichever networks you run. Media under your own Audiohook account is billed by Audiohook directly to your dealership, with no markup from us.

Does LeadLocate integrate with Audiohook?

Yes, on request. Ask for Audiohook from the Advertising Networks page in the CRM and our team puts it in production for your dealership, under your own account or through the included webXintel Ads Network. LeadLocate sets this platform up for your dealership on request, so all you have to do is ask.

Can I use my own Audiohook account?

Yes. Connect the account your store already holds, or let our team open one in your dealership's name, and campaigns run under it on your billing with the history staying with the store. Agencies that manage Audiohook for you keep their seat and we work inside it.

How long does it take to set up Audiohook?

Usually the same day for platforms with public credentials. Where Audiohook reviews applications or requires a contract on its side, our team files it in your name and campaigns start as soon as Audiohook completes its onboarding. The managed network runs the whole time.

What does LeadLocate charge for Audiohook?

The platform is a monthly subscription, month to month with no long term contract, priced on the pricing page, and every plan includes the webXintel Ads Network. Media you buy under your own Audiohook account is billed by Audiohook to you and never marked up by us.

Can Audiohook leads go into the CRM we already use?

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

Can you run Audiohook together with my other advertising?

Yes. Audiohook sits beside search, social, streaming television, outdoor and mail in the same CRM, with one report and one point of contact. Any combination a store can name, our team sets up.

What if I want something Audiohook supports that is not on this page?

Ask for it. Conversion feedback, audiences from your customer file, inventory driven creative, custom reporting or a workflow unique to your store: our team scopes it and builds it into the CRM for your dealership.

Can I use my own Audiohook account?

Yes. Connect the account your store already holds, or let our team open one in your dealership's name, and campaigns run under it on your billing with the history staying with the store. Agencies that manage Audiohook for you keep their seat and we work inside it.

Ask for Audiohook from the Advertising Networks page in the CRM and our team sets it up, usually the same day. Under your own account or the included webXintel Ads Network, your choice, with every lead in one place.
