MGID Integration for Car Dealers

Your own MGID account or the managed network, planned in Leads Manager, with every lead in one CRM.

MGID sells native recommendation placements on publisher pages, the same physical unit as the larger networks in this family but drawn from a different and broader publisher pool. Its distinguishing features for a dealership are a documented REST advertiser API and a minimum deposit of one hundred dollars, which is the lowest commercial floor of any network in this directory.

That combination decides what the platform is good for. It is a traffic instrument. You write a headline, you attach a thumbnail, you point the click at a page, and you buy volume by the click across a wide spread of sites. There is no query to match, no shopper graph, and no form inside the ad.

For a single rooftop independent, the practical read is that this is the cheapest way to find out whether a landing page and an offer can convert cold traffic at all. That is a genuinely useful thing to learn before spending real money on channels where the clicks cost ten times more, which is why it earns a place in a dealership advertising plan rather than being dismissed as bargain inventory.

The argument is arithmetic. A hundred dollar deposit and a documented API mean the cost of finding out is close to zero. For a sale event, a service promotion, a lot clearance or a new store announcement, this network will put more clicks on a page per dollar than anything else on this catalogue, and it will do it the same day.

The objection is quality, and it should be stated bluntly rather than managed. Cheap traffic is cheap because the publisher pool is wide, and a wide pool contains sites you would not choose individually. Some placements deliver curious readers, some deliver accidental taps, and the difference between the two only shows up in source level reporting. Running this network well means reading the source report and blocking placements every few days, permanently. A store that sets it and forgets it will buy a lot of clicks and very few people.

The second objection follows from the first. Because the raw click number looks impressive early, this is the easiest channel in the directory to feel good about while achieving nothing. The KPI has to be leads on the landing page and appointments in the CRM, never the traffic graph. Our page on what to expect from car sales leads applies with force here.

MGID is available to your dealership on request. Ask for it from the Advertising Networks page inside the CRM, or tell the person who set up your account, and our team puts it in production for your store, usually the same day for platforms with public credentials and as soon as the vendor completes its own onboarding for the ones that gate access. There is no separate integration project to schedule and no fee attached to turning a network on.

Two paths are open from the first day. The webXintel Ads Network is included with every plan: you choose the zone you sell in, the campaign type and the pre screening questions in Leads Manager, and our team builds and runs campaigns from those selections. The second path is your own MGID account, connected so campaigns run under a login your dealership owns, with the spend on your card and the history in your name. Agencies that already manage MGID for the store keep their seat and we work inside it. Neither choice is permanent; a store can start on the managed network and add its own account later, or run both.

When MGID 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 MGID reports as a conversion, laid beside every other channel in the same report so the question of whether MGID earned its budget is answered in one place.

Lead capture on MGID is a click through: the ad sends the shopper to a LeadLocate lead page in your dealership's name, with the pre screening questions you chose, so the inquiry is a lead in the CRM with the campaign attached the moment it is submitted. 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 MGID 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 MGID, for an audience or for vehicle level creative, you ask and our team builds that for your store.

MGID is not a one off project inside the CRM. LeadLocate runs every advertising platform through one gateway with a single contract: hand us an authorization URL, exchange the code for a token, list the accounts you own, deploy a campaign, pause or resume it, return spend and results, and prove on demand that the connection still works. Seven operations, one adapter per network. Adding MGID for your store is our team's work against that contract, which is why it is a request rather than a quote.

The shared machinery is the same for every platform and is already in place. Tokens are encrypted before storage, every action is written to an append only audit log, and campaign objects re-resolve the credentials that created them so disconnecting an account never orphans the campaigns built under it. Turning MGID on for one dealership does not disturb any other network the store runs, and it does not disturb any other dealership.

MGID issues advertising credentials without a vendor review, which is the fastest kind of platform to turn on: our team registers the developer access, connects your account or opens one in your name, and campaigns can start the same day. On MGID the mechanism is API token, and our team registers and maintains the credentials for your dealership.

Whatever the gate, the store's part is the same: say which platform you want, whether you already hold an account there, and what you would run first. Our team takes it from that point and reports back with a start date rather than a list of steps for you to complete.

You choose whose account the campaigns live under. The included webXintel Ads Network puts them under ours: you set the zone, the campaign type and the pre screening questions in Leads Manager, our team does the building and the daily management, and the cost is inside your plan. Nothing waits on MGID for that path to be producing leads.

Your own MGID account puts them under yours. Connect the account you already have, or have our team open one in the dealership's name, and the media is billed by MGID to you, without markup, with the history belonging to the store. Agencies keep their existing seat and we work inside it. Switching between the two paths, or running both, is a request to our team.

Day to day, our team pushes, pauses and reads the numbers for you and reports them in the CRM, and any store that wants those controls in its own dashboard can ask for them.

On budget, the useful fact is that MGID $100 deposit, and our team confirms the practical minimum for your market before anything is booked. On timing, set the expectation before you start: results on MGID read over weeks rather than days, because a household reached today searches your store by name later in the week, and the CRM shows that branded lift beside the direct leads. Because of that, the plan for MGID is written with a review date on it from day one, and our team reads it with you at that date rather than leaving the store to guess.

Start narrow: one zone, one campaign type, one offer and the pre screening questions you already use, then widen once the first flight has a read. Adding a format, a wider radius or a second rooftop is a request to our team. Reporting lands in the CRM beside every other channel, so the store compares MGID to search, social and the managed network in one place instead of reconciling three dashboards.

Whatever MGID can do, LeadLocate can do for your store. Feeding sales results back to MGID so it learns, building an audience from your sold or service customers, running your live inventory as creative, exporting reports the way your group wants them, or wiring a step that exists nowhere else: ask, and our team builds it into the CRM for your dealership. We built the platform ourselves, so a request is work for our own team rather than a support ticket that waits on a vendor.

The same goes for combinations. If your store wants MGID beside Netflix, Meta and a billboard company in one place, with the leads in one inbox and one person to call, that is what we set up. Users are limited only by their creativity, and our team is the part that turns the idea into a running campaign. Every channel we run is listed on advertising channels for car dealerships.

Ask. From the Advertising Networks page inside the CRM, request MGID and say whether you already hold an account there and what you would run first. Our team confirms the plan with you, handles the platform side and tells you the start date. New to LeadLocate? Pick a plan on the pricing page, month to month with no long term contract, and the included webXintel Ads Network starts producing leads while MGID is being set up.

Pricing for the platform is on the pricing page and it does not change based on which networks you turn on. Media bought under your own MGID account is billed by MGID to you and never marked up by us.

Does LeadLocate integrate with MGID?

Yes, on request. Ask for MGID 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. This platform is registered in the LeadLocate ad gateway, and our team puts it in production for your dealership on request.

Can I use my own MGID 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 MGID for you keep their seat and we work inside it.

How long does it take to set up MGID?

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

What does LeadLocate charge for MGID?

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

Can MGID 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 MGID together with my other advertising?

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

Ask for MGID 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.
