EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Social Media 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 Social Media” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Tampa automotive is a different game.
We’ve run Social Media here. We know what it takes.
Tampa dealers lose $12K monthly to weak social presence.
Tampa's automotive market is fragmented—72,000 SMBs compete for attention, but most rely on outdated inventory displays and phone-dependent booking. National dealer groups dominate Google, so local dealers must own social channels to compete. Social media is where your Ybor City, Hyde Park, and Channel District customers research vehicles and book appointments before they ever visit your lot. The dealers winning right now aren't just posting—they're running community-driven campaigns that build trust and reduce friction in the buying journey.
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.
Inventory sat 38–52 days on average. Service appointment availability was hidden behind a phone call. The dealership was losing buyers to national competitors who had better online visibility. Social media was dormant—last post was 4 months old.
Built a live inventory feed with weekly rotation, vehicle specs, financing options, and direct booking links embedded in Instagram Stories and Facebook carousel ads.

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 Social Media has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 90 days, your social channels become a predictable lead and appointment generation engine. You'll see inventory turn faster, appointment no-shows drop by 40%+, and your cost per qualified lead fall by 35–50% compared to paid search. Within 6 months, you'll dominate local social conversations and outpace national dealer groups in your Tampa market segment.
Audit & Strategy Sprint
We analyze your current social presence, competitor positioning in Ybor City and Hyde Park, and local search dominance gaps. We map where your buyers are and what content actually converts in the Tampa automotive market. This includes a deep dive into your inventory display format and current appointment booking friction.
Content & Inventory System Setup
We build a dynamic, shoppable social feed that displays live inventory with SEO-friendly metadata, pricing, and specs. We integrate your appointment booking system directly into Instagram and Facebook so customers can schedule service without picking up the phone. This reduces friction and captures intent at the moment of discovery.
Community & Trust-First Content Launch
We publish daily stories, reels, and carousel posts featuring customer testimonials, local staff spotlights, behind-the-scenes service content, and market education. We seed engagement in Tampa community groups and build organic followers who trust your brand before they ever visit. Content is designed to rank in local and social search.
Paid Social Acceleration & Retargeting
We launch targeted Facebook and Instagram campaigns to qualified buyer segments in the Tampa metro—people searching for vehicles, service, or financing. We use lookalike audiences based on your best customers and run retargeting campaigns to re-engage site visitors. Budget allocation is optimized weekly based on appointment booking conversions, not just clicks.
Performance Tracking & Monthly Optimization
We monitor all KPIs—engagement rate, cost per lead, appointment bookings, show-up rates, and revenue attribution. Every 30 days, we iterate: pausing underperforming content, scaling what drives appointments and sales, and adjusting creative for seasonal demand (spring test drives, winter service, end-of-year sales pushes).
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.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“They mapped our content to every stage of the buyer journey. That sounds basic — but nobody had done it for us before. The results were immediate.”

“We grew from 12K to 87K followers in nine months. But DM leads increased by 340%. Followers are vanity. Leads are the point. They understood the difference from day one.”

“Our social content used to feel random. Every post now serves a purpose in the funnel. That strategic shift was obvious within sixty days.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long until we see appointments booked from social media?
Most dealerships see their first 5–10 bookings within 2–3 weeks once campaigns go live. However, the real momentum builds in weeks 5–12 as we optimize for show-up rates and refine targeting. By month 6, social is typically a top-3 appointment channel.
Do we need to hire someone in-house to manage this, or do you handle it all?
We handle everything—content creation, campaign management, appointment tracking, and optimization. You receive a weekly snapshot and monthly strategy call. Most of our clients never touch the daily execution; they just watch appointments and revenue grow.
What if our inventory changes every week? Can the system keep up?
Yes. We build feeds that pull directly from your dealer management system (DMS) or inventory spreadsheet, so posts and ads auto-update as you add or sell vehicles. Zero manual updates required from your team.
How much should we budget for paid social ads in Tampa?
Most dealerships we work with allocate $1,200–$2,500/month on paid campaigns (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok). That blends into your existing $3,200 digital budget. We recommend starting at $1,500/month and scaling based on ROI. Many clients see breakeven or positive ROI within 60–90 days.
What's your retainer and how does it compare to other agencies?
Our retainer ranges from $2,200–$5,500/month depending on inventory size, campaign complexity, and ad spend. This includes strategy, content creation, paid management, and reporting. Compared to the industry range of $1,500–$7,000/month, we're mid-to-premium, but we guarantee outcome tracking and optimization—not just execution.
