Managed media buying for dealerships

Frequently asked questions

Who can manage Google and Facebook ads for my car dealership?

Axion’s media buying service manages a dealership’s Google Ads, including Search, Performance Max and Vehicle Listing Ads, along with Facebook, Instagram, ChatGPT and Microsoft ads, or programmatic, such as OTT, Display, or Streaming Audio. Media buying is available for any of these platforms on every package, and the team plans, builds and manages campaigns on the Axion platform. Media buying does not include creative services. If your dealership has someone in-house, they can also manage advertising within the Axion platform with an appropriate platform subscription. Self-service does not incur a management fee.

How do dealership ads stay current when vehicles sell?

Campaigns managed through Axion’s media buying service are built from live inventory. Sold vehicles are paused and replaced automatically on Facebook, Google and ChatGPT, and when a price changes, the ad copy and payments change with it.

How is media buying priced?

Media buying is available for any ad platform on every package. It is billed as a percentage of ad spend, and the rate depends on your package: 12% on Core, 10% on Plus and 8% on Premium.

Does the dealer stay in control of the ad budget with managed media buying?
