From Ad Click to VIN Sold: The End of Guesswork in Dealership Marketing

Amanda Dixon
Let’s cut to it, if you’re a GM, your first question isn’t “How many clicks did we get?”
It’s “Did this campaign help us sell cars?”
You don’t have time for bloated reports or marketing fluff. You want accountability. You want clarity. And you want a partner that connects the dots between what you spend and what shows up on your lot.
That’s where Studio19 comes in, built for dealers, not marketers.
The Problem: You’re Spending Without Seeing
You’ve seen the reports:
Impressions are up
Clicks are steady
CTR looks healthy
But your floor traffic feels the same, and your sales manager still says leads are weak.
Here’s the truth: if your marketing reports and metrics can’t show you which ad moved which VIN, they’re not helping you run a better store. It’s just noise.
The Fix: From Click ➔ VIN ➔ Revenue
Studio19 doesn’t just show you clicks. We show you which ad sold which car.
Our platform connects every Google and Facebook ad directly to your DMS, Reynolds, CDK, Tekion, Dealertrack, and ties each click to an actual VIN sale or service RO.
This isn’t some dashboard fluff. It’s full attribution, from first click to final sale.
You’ll know:
What campaigns drove real buyers
Which keywords convert
Which vehicles are moving and why
The Advantage: Hourly Optimization, Not Weekly Adjustments
Most agencies run your campaigns in the background and send you a PDF at the end of the month.
Studio19 runs campaigns that optimize every hour, adjusting bids, keywords, and targeting based on what’s working right now.
No delays. No guesswork. No waiting for a human to “check on performance.”
This means:
You stop wasting budget on casual browsers
Your ads only show to high-intent, in-market shoppers
You get results faster, cleaner, and with full visibility

What This Means for You, the GM
You can finally see where your marketing dollars go
You can double down on campaigns that sell
You can stop managing vendors and start managing results
This isn’t “awareness.” It’s actual dealership revenue, tracked in real time.
From Budget Line Item to Sales Engine
The old way of marketing made you wait, hope, and guess.
Studio19 gives you full control, real outcomes, and zero fluff. Whether it’s inventory-based Facebook ads, Google search campaigns, or conquest strategies, we show you what’s working and we optimize it by the hour.
Same budget. Better outcome.
