Connect X Ads to Your Dealership CRM

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

X sells promoted posts, video and takeover placements against a feed that moves faster than any other consumer surface in this catalogue. The advertising account is ordinary enough: campaigns, ad groups, targeting by interest, keyword and follower lookalike, with billing by impression or by engagement.

What a dealership needs to know is the shape of the audience rather than the shape of the account. X communities cluster hard around specific interests, and several of those clusters are automotive in a way no general purpose feed replicates. Truck owners, tuner and enthusiast circles, motorsport, overlanding, work vehicle upfitting. Those are real conversations with real participants, and reaching them is a genuinely different buy from reaching everyone inside a radius.

Lead capture on this platform is clickout, not native. There is no in feed form prefilled from a profile, so every campaign sends the shopper to a landing page and the form on that page does the work. That single fact governs almost everything about how a store would run it, because the cost of a click is not the cost of a lead and the gap between them is closed by the landing page, which is why LeadLocate sends every click to a lead page in your dealership's name.

The case for X starts with pricing that suits a dealership test. The platform moved its advertising access to credit based pay per use pricing, so the cost follows actual use rather than a flat monthly tier. That keeps the price of adding X in line with what a store actually runs, with no standing charge before the first campaign goes live. It makes X an easy channel to switch on for a specific push and to read against everything else in the CRM.

The audience case is focused, and it is worth stating precisely. If your store moves trucks, performance inventory or anything with an enthusiast following, X reaches those people in a context where they are already talking about vehicles. That is a real thing. It works best as a complement to search or a general feed.

The question to plan for is consistency: results from this platform vary more than most, so it works best as a supporting channel rather than a dealership's primary one. Clickout traffic from a fast feed converts unevenly, the same targeting that finds enthusiasts finds a great many people who will never buy a vehicle in your trade area, and month to month results move around more than they do anywhere else in this directory. Our recommendation is to turn it on in a dealer mix for a specific reason, with every lead landing in one inbox with its source, and to read it against what to expect from car sales leads rather than against your best channel.

Any dealership on LeadLocate can run X 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 X 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 X account they live under yours, on your billing, with the account history staying with the store. Agencies that already hold a X 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 X. Inbound carries the numbers back, spend, impressions, clicks and reported results, into the same reporting every other channel uses, so X is one line in a report rather than another dashboard to log into.

Lead capture on X 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. 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.

Every push, pause and report on X for your store is recorded with who asked for it and when, and the campaigns built under your account stay tied to the store. Your customer file and your inventory stay private inside the CRM, and every lead X sends arrives beside them with its source and campaign already attached.

Every advertising platform LeadLocate runs works the same way for your store: our team connects the account, launches the campaign, pauses and resumes it on request, brings spend and results into the CRM, and keeps it delivering. X Ads works exactly the way every other network does, so adding it to your store is a request to our team rather than a new project.

Everything around it is shared and already in place: secure account access, a record of every change with who asked for it and when, and campaigns that stay with the store that owns them. That is why a store can turn X on beside search, social and streaming television and get one report, and why an agency can run several dealerships through LeadLocate without one store ever seeing another's data.

X issues advertising credentials without a vendor review, which is the fastest kind of platform to turn on: our team connects the account your store holds or opens one in your name, and campaigns can start the same day. On X, our team sets up and maintains that access 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.

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 X is being set up.

The second is your own X 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 X 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 X is done by our team on your behalf, so a change is a message rather than a login, and every result lands in the CRM beside the rest of your advertising.

On budget, X bills on credit based pay per use, and our team confirms the practical minimum for your market before anything is booked. On timing, set the expectation before you start: results on X 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. Our team sets a review date with you at the start, so the first read of X 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 X is judged beside search, social and the webXintel Ads Network rather than on its own dashboard.

X Ads offers more than campaign delivery, and a dealership that wants any of it only has to ask. More X formats and placements, creative built around a sale event, a lead page for a single offer, custom reporting exports, or a workflow that belongs to your store alone: our team scopes it 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 X, 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 X Ads, and tell us two things: whether the store or its agency already has a X 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 X is arranged.

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

Does LeadLocate integrate with X Ads?

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

How long does it take to set up X Ads?

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

What does LeadLocate charge for X 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 X account is billed by X to you and never marked up by us.

Can X 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 X together with my other advertising?

Yes. X 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 X supports that is not on this page?

Ask for it. A new format, creative for a sale event, a lead page for a single offer, 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 X 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 X 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 X is arranged.
