Ad leads that are real buyers.

DealerDrive turns your inventory into Facebook and Instagram ads, with Google Vehicle Listing Ads available. It checks every lead’s phone, email and name, and how soon the buyer plans to buy, and holds back repeat and junk leads.

Lead scoring

Every lead scored. Junk held back.

Every lead from your ads gets a score from 1 to 5, so your BDC calls the best ones first. Repeat and junk leads are held back.

Do Facebook ads work for car dealers?

Yes, when they are inventory ads and the leads are filtered. Facebook and Instagram ads that show your actual cars, prices and photos reach local buyers who are already shopping. The problem most dealers have is lead quality, which is why DealerDrive gives every lead a score from 1 to 5 and holds back repeat and junk leads before they reach the CRM.

What are automotive inventory ads?

Automotive inventory ads are Facebook and Instagram ads, with Google Vehicle Listing Ads available, built automatically from your vehicle feed. Each ad shows one real car with its photo, price and mileage, updates when the price changes and stops when the car sells. DealerDrive puts new arrivals into ads within 24 hours.

How does DealerDrive stop spam leads from Facebook ads?

Every lead gets a 1 to 5 score. DealerDrive checks for fake, test or throwaway phone numbers, emails and names, and weighs how soon the buyer plans to buy. Repeat and junk leads are held back.

Why are my dealership's Facebook leads bad?

Most bad Facebook leads come from instant forms that auto-fill, bots, burner phone numbers and people outside your market. Nobody checks them before they reach the BDC. DealerDrive checks every lead for fake, test or throwaway phone numbers, emails and names, weighs how soon the buyer plans to buy, and holds back repeat and junk leads.

Which CRMs does DealerDrive send leads to?

VinSolutions, DealerSocket, CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, Elead, Tekion and Frazer through universal ADF. Any CRM that accepts ADF works too.

Will this work if my dealership already runs Facebook ads?

Yes. We take over the catalog setup, fix what's broken (missing inventory is common) and add lead scoring on top. You're upgrading, not starting over.

Is my ad spend included?

No. Ad spend is paid directly to Meta and Google. Our fee covers setup, management, scoring, CRM delivery and the monthly review.

DealerDrive platform overview For Google and Meta API reviewers

Platform Overview — For API Reviewers

DealerDrive (dealerdrive.us) is a SaaS advertising automation platform for US automotive dealerships, operated by Dealer Sales LLC (23465 Civic Center Way, Malibu, CA 90265 · [email protected]).

We use the Google Ads API to provide the following specific services on behalf of authorized dealership customers:

  1. Performance Max Campaign Management — Create and maintain Performance Max campaigns with listing_type = VEHICLES via CampaignService and AssetGroupService. Vehicle inventory from the dealer’s feed is uploaded as asset groups with vehicle targeting parameters.
  2. Google Merchant Center Data Source Sync — Create scheduled-fetch data sources pointed at the dealer’s vehicle feed URL via the Content API for Shopping. Inventory updates are reflected in Merchant Center within 24 hours.
  3. Campaign Performance Reporting — Query campaign-level metrics (impressions, clicks, conversions, cost, CPL) via GoogleAdsService.SearchStream to surface unified reporting in the dealer’s DealerDrive dashboard.
  4. Budget Management — Read and write daily budget amounts via CampaignBudgetService to enforce each dealer’s configured hard spend cap. All budget decisions are controlled by the dealer.
  5. Conversion Action Setup — Create conversion actions (ConversionActionService, category = LEAD) to measure form submissions and phone call leads from dealership websites.

All API calls run through a Manager Account (MCC) structure. Dealer accounts are linked as separate client accounts — no cross-account data access. DealerDrive never moves money or changes billing settings. Dealers can revoke access at any time from their Google Ads account settings.

Data accessed through Google APIs is used only to provide and improve DealerDrive’s advertising management features and is never transferred to third parties. DealerDrive complies fully with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements.
