THE CHALLENGE

Most automotive dealerships rely on generic catalog ads and broad brand campaigns that generate unqualified traffic. Alfa Romeo's previous agency was running basic promotional ads without strategic segmentation, resulting in poor lead quality and wasted ad spend on prospects not ready to purchase.

Our proven methodology turns competitor insights into your competitive advantage through strategic analysis and systematic optimization:

1. REVERSE-ENGINEER SUCCESS PATTERNS

Analysis revealed that successful automotive campaigns segment by specific vehicle models and buying intent (new vs. used), while most competitors use generic dealership messaging that fails to qualify serious buyers.

✅ Found that model-specific campaigns convert 141% better than generic automotive ads

✅ Discovered that URL-specific retargeting increases conversion rates by 68%

“Generic car ads attract tire-kickers. Model-specific campaigns with intent-based segmentation attract buyers who know exactly what they want.” - Sean @UNI

Restructured campaigns with model-specific targeting, separating new and used vehicle interests, and implementing URL-specific retargeting for prospects who viewed specific inventory.
