Run Brave Ads from Your Dealership CRM

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

Brave is a web browser whose selling point is that it blocks advertising and tracking by default. Its own advertising product is the exception it carves out for itself: users choose to see ads in exchange for a rewards balance, and those ads appear as notifications, as sponsored placements on the new tab page, and inside the browser's news feed. Nobody sees them who did not agree to.

The mechanism underneath is the part worth understanding. Matching happens on the device rather than on a server, so the browser decides locally which ad to show and the advertiser is never handed the browsing history that produced the decision. That is a genuinely different architecture from the rest of this catalogue, and it produces a genuinely different kind of reporting.

For a dealership the value is access rather than volume. This is the audience that has removed itself from ordinary display advertising entirely, deliberately and by installing software to do it, and this is the only door into that group that the group itself opened.

The case is reach that money cannot otherwise buy. The people using this browser tend to be higher income, technically literate and in the earlier part of their careers, which is a good description of a new vehicle buyer with a strong credit profile. They are also the people your display and retargeting budget never touches, because they blocked it before you bought it. If your campaigns are quietly missing a slice of your market's best buyers, this is where that slice went.

There is a second, smaller argument about goodwill. Advertising that the viewer agreed to receive lands differently from advertising that ambushed them, and a local business showing up politely in that context is not the intrusion it would be elsewhere.

The honest objection is measurement, and it is unusually blunt on this platform. The entire product is designed so that the advertiser learns less. There is no per user path to follow, the matching happens where you cannot see it, and reporting is aggregate by design rather than by omission. A dealership used to reading a click through to a specific shopper will find that instrument simply absent, and no amount of budget or configuration restores it.

The second objection is scale. The audience is small next to any mainstream browser, so even complete coverage of your trade area here is a modest number of people. This is a supplement to a media plan and not a channel a store can build one on.

The third is intent. When users receive a rewards balance for viewing advertising, some share of the attention you buy is attention paid to the reward rather than to your offer. Judge the traffic that arrives on your site, not the interaction counts reported upstream.

Leave your number and a lead specialist calls you back to answer your questions about pricing, coverage, and setup. Mon - Sat, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Pacific.

Any dealership on LeadLocate can run Brave Ads. 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 Brave 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 Brave account they live under yours, on your billing, with the account history staying with the store. Agencies that already hold a Brave account for the dealership keep it and we work inside it. Moving between the two is a request, not a project.

When Brave Ads runs for your store, the campaign settings travel out from Leads Manager: the geographic radius or zone around the dealership, the budget and flight dates, the campaign objective and the creative variants you approved. Results travel back: spend, impressions, clicks and whatever Brave reports as a conversion, laid beside every other channel in the same report so the question of whether Brave earned its budget is answered in one place.

Leads arrive either through a form inside Brave 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. Every lead carries its source and its campaign, the follow up runs through the CRM's own texting, calling and email, and Instant Push forwards each lead by ADF to the CRM your store already uses if you want to work it there. What to expect from a lead describes the mix that arrives.

Credentials are stored encrypted, every action taken against Brave is written to an audit log with the company, the user and the detail, and campaign objects remember which credentials created them so nothing is stranded if an account is disconnected. Your customer list and your inventory stay yours; if you want either used on Brave, for an audience or for vehicle level creative, you ask and our team builds that 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. Brave Ads 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 Brave 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.

Brave 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 Brave 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 Brave is being set up.

The second is your own Brave 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 Brave 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 Brave 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.

Brave 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 Brave 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 Brave 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 Brave is judged beside search, social and the webXintel Ads Network rather than on its own dashboard.

Brave Ads offers more than campaign delivery, and a dealership that wants any of it only has to ask. Conversion feedback that tells Brave 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 Brave, 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 Brave Ads, and tell us two things: whether the store or its agency already has a Brave 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 Brave is arranged.

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

Does LeadLocate integrate with Brave Ads?

Yes, on request. Ask for Brave Ads 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 Brave 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 Brave for you keep their seat and we work inside it.

How long does it take to set up Brave Ads?

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

What does LeadLocate charge for Brave Ads?

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 Brave account is billed by Brave to you and never marked up by us.

Can Brave 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 Brave together with my other advertising?

Yes. Brave 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 Brave 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 Brave 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 Brave for you keep their seat and we work inside it.

Request it inside the CRM and our team handles the platform side. Not a customer yet? Pick a plan, month to month, and start with the included webXintel Ads Network this week while Brave is arranged.
