EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Paid Marketing doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Paid Marketing” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Tampa automotive is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Tampa automotive: 72,000 competitors fighting for local buyers
Tampa's automotive market is fragmented across 72,000 SMBs competing in a region with rising digital maturity but persistent inefficiency in inventory visibility. Local dealers spend an average of $3,200 monthly on digital marketing, yet most fail to connect live inventory with search intent—leaving appointment bookings hostage to outdated phone-based workflows. National dealer groups dominate brand search; your competitive edge lives in hyper-local intent capture and service appointment automation. Google Ads and paid social are the fastest levers to break through noise and drive foot traffic to your showroom.
The 3 places Tampa automotive brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 automotive brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
They were spending heavily on brand keywords but losing hyper-local buyers searching for 'used trucks near me' and 'service appointments'. Their inventory wasn't synced to Google Shopping, so 60% of clicks went to competitors with live stock visibility. Appointment booking was phone-only, killing conversion rates.
Connected live inventory feed to Google Shopping and Facebook Dynamic Ads; added 200+ long-tail local keywords ('used cars Ybor City', 'Toyota service Hyde Park')

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Paid Marketing has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 6–8 weeks, your paid marketing operates like a precision engine: live inventory pulls buyers directly from Google, appointments book without phone friction, and you know the exact ROI of every ad dollar. Most Tampa automotive clients see 40–65% drops in cost-per-lead and 50–70% increases in appointment show rates.
Inventory Audit & Sync
We map your current inventory database and connect it to Google Shopping, Facebook Dynamic Ads, and your website. We identify missing vehicle data, pricing gaps, and stock freshness issues that kill ad performance in Tampa's competitive market. This is the foundation: buyers see what you have, when you have it.
Intent-First Campaign Architecture
We build separate Google Ads campaigns targeting high-intent keywords (e.g., 'buy used cars in Tampa', 'service appointments near Channel District'). We layer audience segmentation: in-market buyers, showroom visitors, service customers. Each campaign is hyper-local and feeds into a dedicated landing page optimized for appointment booking, not just clicks.
Appointment Booking Automation
We integrate your CRM with your ads platform and landing pages. When a buyer clicks an ad, they're routed to a pre-built appointment scheduler that syncs with your sales team calendar in real time. No forms. No phone calls. No friction. Appointment show rates jump 40–60% because buyers confirm instantly.
Conversion Tracking & Attribution
We install conversion pixels, event tracking, and call tracking across all paid channels. Every appointment, phone inquiry, and test drive is tagged to the ad, keyword, and buyer segment that drove it. You'll see exactly which $1 is working and which is wasted—and we'll adjust weekly.
Optimization & Scaling
Once campaigns are live and we have 2–3 weeks of conversion data, we shift spend away from low-performing keywords, audiences, and placements. We scale high-performing intent buckets and test new segments (e.g., service appointment upsells, trade-in buyers). Monthly strategy reviews ensure your spend stays sharp.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“We'd been paying a premium for a 'strategic' agency that was running auto-bidding with a nice deck attached. The comparison when we switched was embarrassing.”
Nina P.
Head of Growth · SaaS Company, $7M ARR
“We were spending $45K/month on Google Ads with a 1.8x ROAS. Within 90 days, same budget, 3.4x. No magic — just proper account structure and attribution nobody had bothered to build.”
Alex C.
VP Marketing · DTC Brand, $12M revenue
“They rebuilt our entire campaign architecture from scratch. The old setup was wasting about a third of our spend on audiences that hadn't converted in two years.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before we see results in our paid marketing?
You'll see data and optimization recommendations within 2–3 weeks. Significant cost-per-lead improvements and lead quality shifts typically show within 6–8 weeks. Appointment show rates often improve within 3–4 weeks once the booking system is live, because you're eliminating phone friction immediately.
What if our inventory system isn't compatible with Google Shopping or Facebook Dynamic Ads?
We handle the integration. We've worked with most dealer management systems (DMS) used in Tampa—DealerSocket, Dealer.com, vAuto, Cox Automotive, etc. If your system doesn't have a direct feed, we'll build a data bridge or migration plan. It's part of our onboarding.
Do we have to switch ad platforms or stop our current Google Ads campaigns?
No. We audit your existing campaigns and improve them in place. We'll pause wasteful campaigns, rewrite underperforming ad copy, restructure keywords, and layer in new audience segments—all while keeping your best-performing ads live. Zero downtime.
How much should we be spending on paid marketing for automotive in Tampa?
Most Tampa dealerships spend $2,000–$5,500/month effectively. A single-location dealership doing $1M–$3M annual revenue typically allocates $2,500–$3,500/month. Multi-location groups spend $5,000–$8,000+. We'll tell you if your budget is too thin to compete locally or too thick for your current infrastructure. ROI matters more than absolute spend.
What's included in your retainer? Is there a setup fee?
Our Tampa automotive retainer typically ranges from $2,200–$4,500/month (beyond typical agency range for automotive specialization). Setup includes inventory sync, campaign architecture, booking integration, conversion tracking, and landing page builds ($800–$1,500 one-time, often waived for 6-month+ commitments). Monthly retainers include campaign management, weekly optimization, audience building, and strategy reviews.
