Automotive Sales
Let’s be honest. If you’re a General Manager at a dealership, the monthly marketing report doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. You skim it, skip the jargon, and land on the same unanswered question you had last month:
Did we sell cars because of this, or not?
You’re not alone. We hear it from GMs across the country. You’re spending real money on digital ads, and in return, you get reports filled with impressions, clicks, and bounce rates, but no clarity on outcomes.
That’s not a report. That’s noise.
The era of vague marketing metrics is over. Today’s dealers want performance, not fluff. And at Studio19, that’s exactly what we deliver.
Impressions Don’t Close Deals
Sure, impressions tell you how many people saw your ad. But you don’t run a dealership on visibility. You run it on results.
Your campaign might rack up 100,000 views, but if no one clicked, called, or bought, what was the point?
We hear it all the time:
“Our agency said engagement was strong, but we didn’t sell a single car from it.”
That’s because traditional marketing still rewards volume. But volume without value is just wasted spend.
What Reports Get Wrong
Most reports are designed for marketers, not operators. They highlight activity, not outcomes, trends, not transactions, and vanity metrics, not vehicle sales.
Even worse, they’re delayed. You’re often reviewing a campaign from two weeks ago. The budget is gone, and it’s too late to fix anything.
In automotive, delay means lost leads, missed revenue, and a large budget with no return.
What GMs Want
What you want isn’t another PowerPoint deck. You want real answers:
Are we targeting buyers or just browsers?
Did this campaign help us sell more cars?
What can we double down on today?
That’s where Studio19 changes the game.
A Smarter Approach to Digital Marketing
Studio19 is built for performance, not presentations. We don’t just track ad clicks. We help you win the right ones.
Here’s how:
🎯 High-Intent Targeting
We focus your budget on serious, in-market shoppers. Using keyword strategy, behavioral data, and live inventory signals, we cut out top-of-funnel traffic and eliminate the tire kickers that agencies often overlook.
⚙️ AI-Driven Optimization
Our platform adjusts campaigns hourly. It reallocates spend in real time based on performance, without waiting for a human to step in. More of your budget goes where it actually converts.
🔗 Sales Attribution That Proves It
We integrate with your DMS (Reynolds, CDK, Tekion, Dealertrack) and show you exactly which campaigns lead to actual sales or service revenue. But that’s just the final step. The real magic is in how we drive results from the start.
What Studio19 Replaces
Monthly PDFs full of fluff
Metrics that don’t tie to revenue
Slow-moving agency workflows
Guesswork and “maybes”
With Studio19, you get clarity. You get control. And most importantly, you get sales.
It’s Time to Expect More From Your Marketing
The death of the marketing report isn’t about ditching spreadsheets. It’s about ending the uncertainty.
Studio19 gives you:
Real-time insights, not lagging metrics
Sales attribution, not surface engagement
Smarter ad decisions that improve every hour
A clear path from spend to sale
If your current setup can’t tell you what sold yesterday and what drove it, it’s not a partner. It’s a blind spot.
