Are You Still Guessing Your Ad Budget? It’s Probably Costing You Thousands.

Amanda Dixon
Be honest - how do you set your ad budget each month?
A gut feeling? A number that “feels about right”? Something your old rep told you five years ago?
We get it. Dealership life moves fast, and it’s easy to default to whatever worked well enough last time. But if your marketing budget is based on hope instead of hard data, you're likely overspending, underspending, or just spending in the wrong places.
That’s where Studio19 comes in. Our AI-powered platform eliminates the guesswork of budgeting, replacing it with strategy, speed, and straightforward expertise.
When was the last time your agency told you to spend less?
Studio19 does. And here’s why that matters.
Our AI-powered platform eliminates the guesswork from budgeting, replacing it with strategy, speed, and real expertise.
Here’s what makes it different:
We don’t ask what you want to spend.
We ask what you’re trying to sell - then we show you what it takes to get there.
Our platform analyzes real-time search demand, inventory availability, and the speed at which your cars are selling. We combine that with what’s happening in your market (yes, even your competitors’ moves) to calculate a budget that makes sense for your store, this month, right now.
We don’t set it and forget it.
Studio19 constantly monitors campaign performance and automatically reallocates spend based on what drives results. If trucks start outperforming sedans? The budget shifts. If a model sells out? That campaign pauses. Your dollars follow the action, not a calendar.
We connect the dots.
Clicks are cool. Sales are cooler. Studio19 ties every lead and campaign back to the actual vehicle sold, using your DMS data. That means we know what’s working, and you’ll know where every dollar went.
Imagine this instead:
You know exactly how much to spend and why.
You stop wasting money on ads for cars that already left the lot.
You scale up fast when the market heats up, and pull back when it cools—all without waiting for a new month or another agency meeting.
Smarter budgets. Real buyers. Better results.
We’ll show you how your current budget stacks up, what you're leaving on the table, and where Studio19 can make your dollars stretch further. No fluff. No guessing.
