Smartly.io Integration for Car Dealers

Ad creative production for your store, set up on request and run from the same CRM that works the lead.

Smartly.io sits above the advertising platforms rather than beside them. An advertiser connects its accounts on the major social networks, and the platform then handles creative production, campaign structure, budget shifting and reporting across all of them from one place, rather than the advertiser opening four separate consoles and reconciling four separate exports by hand.

The creative half generates variants from templates and data, in the way a production tool does. The campaign half builds and edits the objects inside each network according to rules the advertiser sets. The reporting half pulls everything back into one view. Its whole value proposition is that a large advertiser running many campaigns across many networks does that work once instead of many times.

For a dealership the useful mental model is a control room. It does not sell impressions and it does not own inventory. Every dollar still goes to the underlying network, on accounts you hold, and the vendor charges for the orchestration on top. That framing decides whether it is worth anything to a given store, and the next section is blunt about which stores those are.

The case is coordination at scale. A group running paid social across dozens of rooftops in dozens of markets, with different offers and different inventory, faces real operational cost in keeping campaign structure consistent and creative current. Doing that natively means a large team clicking through consoles, and mistakes made that way are invisible until a month end report shows a market that quietly stopped delivering. An orchestration layer is a genuine answer to that problem.

The first honest objection is that the layer is priced against the spend it manages, and a store spending a few thousand a month across one or two networks is buying coordination it does not need. Two campaigns do not need a control room. They need somebody to look at them on a Tuesday.

The second objection is that a layer is another place things break. When something is wrong, you now have three parties: the network, the orchestration vendor, and whoever built the rules. Migration away is also real work, because campaign structure created through a layer tends to be shaped by that layer. Adding a middle tier is a decision to be made deliberately rather than because a demonstration looked impressive.

The third is the honest overlap. What we have built inside the CRM is a narrow version of the same idea: one contract that many networks answer, so a campaign is described once. Ours is much smaller and one network is live against it. Theirs is broad, mature and expensive. A group that genuinely needs breadth today should buy breadth today, and a store weighing the trade off will get more from social media lead ads for dealers than from any orchestration pitch.

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

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

Leads arrive either through a form inside Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io, 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. Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io 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.

Smartly.io sells through a contract, a certification or a minimum commitment before it opens its platform, which is how most enterprise buying platforms work. Our team arranges that in your dealership's name, or through a buying partner where that is the faster route, and runs the campaigns from the same Leads Manager selections as every other channel. Stores or agencies that already hold a seat on Smartly.io keep it and we work inside it.

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 Smartly.io is being set up.

The second is your own Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io 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.

Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io to search, social and the managed network in one place instead of reconciling three dashboards.

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

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

Does LeadLocate integrate with Smartly.io?

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

How long does it take to set up Smartly.io?

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

What does LeadLocate charge for Smartly.io?

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

Can Smartly.io 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 Smartly.io together with my other advertising?

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

One CRM, one report, one point of contact. Tell us what you want to run and where, and our team puts Smartly.io in production for your dealership.
