Match Dealership Inventory to Real-Time Shopper Demand

In-Market Buyer Targeting: Align Your Inventory with Real Shopper Demand

What It Does
Most dealerships have inventory worth promoting — the challenge is getting it in front of the right people. This solution helps you match your active inventory to what shoppers are already searching for across trusted third-party platforms.

By identifying high-intent shoppers and syncing their behavior with your VINs, this tool delivers relevant ads that convert — Identifying shoppers vehicle searches and comparing them to your inventory allows this tool to serve up "like vehicles” from your inventory that match - Instead of pushing generic offers, this strategy focuses on precision: targeting real buyers, with real interest, in real time from your inventory.

Why Dealers Use In-Market Targeting
Your dealership might have the perfect vehicle sitting on the lot — but without insight into who’s actually shopping for it, that car might stay parked longer than it should.
This strategy ensures you’re not guessing. It takes actual buyer behavior and matches it to your current inventory, allowing you to serve ads that are relevant, timely, and more likely to drive engagement.


Key Benefits: 

  • VIN-Level Targeting:
    Promote the specific vehicles buyers are actively searching for.
  • Higher ROI:
    Focus your ad budget on shoppers most likely to convert.
  • Improved Engagement:
    Reach consumers with inventory they’re already interested in.
  • VIN Matchback Reporting:
    See exactly which vehicles were shown, clicked, and acted on — and tie results directly back to your lot.
How It Works
1. Sync with Real-Time Search Behavior
We tap into trusted third-party platforms to analyze current shopper trends — including what makes, models, trims, and price points are in demand in your market.
2. Match Shopper Demand to Your Inventory
Using a combination of VIN data, vehicle condition, location, and more — we match your inventory to what buyers are already searching for.
3. Targeted Digital Delivery
Once aligned, we serve those vehicles directly to qualified buyers through digital channels — including Google, Facebook, and display networks.
4. Transparent Monthly Reporting
You’ll receive a detailed VIN matchback report each month showing what was promoted, what was clicked, and what led to actual interest or engagement.

Who It’s Best For
This solution is ideal for:
  • Dealerships with large or aging inventory
  • Stores looking to improve used car turn rates
  • Groups that want more transparency in digital marketing spend
  • Any dealership trying to make smarter ad decisions without more work

What Makes This Approach Different
Most automotive marketing platforms push broad ads based on generic audience traits. This method flips the process: it starts with real buyer behavior, then works backward to match those shoppers with your inventory.
That means less waste, more precision, and higher-performing campaigns — because your ads are actually about what people want.
