PropellerAds Integration for Car Dealers

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

PropellerAds is a self serve advertising network built on push notifications, popunders, in-page push and interstitials. Its supply is the long tail of the open web: sites that monetize with formats the premium publishers will not run, reaching people who once accepted a notification prompt and largely forgot they did. It has a documented advertiser API, token based authentication and deposit minimums low enough that a store could test it out of petty cash.

What it sells is volume and speed. A campaign approved in the morning can deliver a flood of clicks to a landing page by the afternoon, at a cost per click that makes automotive search look like a luxury good. Nothing else in this directory turns on that fast or that cheaply.

The formats are also the least subtle in advertising. A push notification arrives on a phone or desktop looking like a message rather than an ad, and a popunder appears in a window the person did not open. Both work by interruption, and the honest way to describe them is exactly that.

Start with the caveat, because it belongs at the top rather than in a footnote. This is a click volume channel, not a lead quality channel. The inventory is long tail by construction, which means your store name can appear beside content you would never choose, and a share of the traffic will be accidental, automated, or in a country you do not sell cars in. Strict placement filtering, tight geographic settings and a person watching the account daily are not refinements here. They are the price of entry, and a dealership unwilling to pay it in labour should not buy this traffic at all.

With that said, there is a real use. A tent sale, a weekend event, a liquidation, anything with a date on it and a need for raw awareness in a defined radius, can be pushed in front of an enormous number of people for very little money in a very short time. Judged on cost per click and reach, PropellerAds wins against every premium channel in this directory. Judged on what happens after the click, it usually loses to all of them.

So the discipline is to decide in advance which metric you are buying, and to never quietly move the goalposts afterwards. A store that buys clicks and then complains about lead quality has spent the money against the wrong scoreboard. Our page on what to expect from car sales leads makes that argument in general terms and every word applies here.

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

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

Leads arrive either through a form inside PropellerAds 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 PropellerAds 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 PropellerAds, 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. PropellerAds 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 PropellerAds 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.

PropellerAds 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.

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.

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 PropellerAds is being set up.

The second is your own PropellerAds 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 PropellerAds 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 PropellerAds 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.

PropellerAds 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 PropellerAds 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. Because of that, the plan for PropellerAds 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 PropellerAds to search, social and the managed network in one place instead of reconciling three dashboards.

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

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

Does LeadLocate integrate with PropellerAds?

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

How long does it take to set up PropellerAds?

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

What does LeadLocate charge for PropellerAds?

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

Can PropellerAds 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 PropellerAds together with my other advertising?

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

Ask for PropellerAds 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.
