Google Ads & Vehicle Ads

Your dealership. At the top of Google.

Vehicle Ads put your entire inventory into Google Search, automatically with image and price. Google Ads bring in extra inquiries for sales, workshop and service. Everything lands on your website, where your offer stands on its own.

Dealerships & dealer groups that trust us

We know the game

You know these three moments. So do we.

We run campaigns for dealerships every day and see inside the real accounts. We hear these three sentences in almost every first call:

Philipp Kaiser, founder of Grit-Auto

Philipp Kaiser, founder of Grit-Auto

“Where did that lead actually come from?”

You get inquiries, but nobody can tell you which ads brought them in and which ones just burned budget. With us you can trace every inquiry back to its source: your own account, full access and reporting everyone on the team understands.

“The marketplace is getting more expensive again and my car sits next to 30 identical ones.”

On listing portals you pay to sit right next to your competitors, sorted by price. We bring buyers to your own website. There your offer stands on its own and your advice makes the difference.

“I want to sell cars. Managing campaigns is not my job.”

Feed, Merchant Center, bids, ad copy, landing pages: We handle all of it. You talk to people who want to buy. We do the rest.

Why Vehicle Ads

The shortest path from searcher to buyer.

Classic ads promote your dealership. Vehicle Ads promote every single vehicle, with image, price and distance right in the search results. Whoever clicks wants exactly that car.

Automatic

Inventory = campaign

Your vehicle inventory is connected via feed. New vehicles go live automatically, sold ones disappear. No manual upkeep.

Ready to buy

Real demand only

Your ad shows up for specific searches like “buy used BMW 320d”. Your budget works where people actually buy.

Measurable

Tracked all the way to the inquiry

You see which vehicles bring clicks and inquiries and what an inquiry costs. We optimize weekly based on that.

Google Vehicle Ads formats: search carousel, dealer landing page and map view
The formats at a glance: search carousel in the results, a click straight to your dealer landing page, map view with prices. Example illustration.
AI search: GEO & GEA

When customers ask AI, your dealership should be the answer.

More and more customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Mode where to buy or service their next car. We make sure your dealership shows up there. If you like, we combine both with your Google Ads.

GEO

Recommended by AI

Generative Engine Optimization: We prepare your website, Google Business Profile, reviews and vehicle data so that AI assistants know your dealership, understand it correctly and recommend it.

GEA

As an ad in the AI answer

Generative Engine Advertising: Google increasingly shows ads directly in AI Overviews and AI Mode. We set up your feed and campaigns so your vehicles can appear there. We'll tell you openly what already works in your market.

Measurable

One team, one report

GEO and GEA are handled by the same team as your Google Ads. One report shows you which channel brings you inquiries.

Track Record

Hundreds of campaigns. From zero to success.

We have built hundreds of campaigns from scratch for dealerships and dealer groups, from the feed to weekly optimization. For several clients we partly or even fully replaced the big car marketplaces, at lower cost per lead and with the same number of leads or more. Since then, inquiries come straight through Google to their own website.

Why your own website wins

Your car. Your website. Your lead.

Portals have reach. But they put your vehicle in a comparison list next to your competitors, sorted by price. On your own website, the conversation is yours alone. The numbers from the German market show it too:

95 %of purchase decisions are prepared online today. If you are visible on Google, you have a seat at the table.
45 %of online leads come through car marketplaces on average. There, price alone very often decides.
42 %of car buyers expect a reply within four hours. That is why ads and reachability belong together.

And our own client accounts show even more: Inquiries through the dealership website close significantly more often than portal leads. That is exactly what we optimize every campaign for.

Sources: LDB Gruppe, lead management in car retail · AUTOHAUS, lead management survey · mobile.de survey via AUTOHAUS (all sources in German). Individual results depend on inventory, region and website.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Vehicle Ads.

What are GEO and GEA?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It makes AI assistants like ChatGPT or Gemini know and recommend your dealership. GEA stands for Generative Engine Advertising, meaning ads directly in AI answers, for example in Google's AI Overviews. If you like, we combine both with your Google Ads.
What do I need to get started?
Just a digitally maintained vehicle inventory, for example via your marketplace feed or your DMS. You don't need a Google Ads account, we set one up together. We take care of the rest.
What budget should I expect?
That depends on inventory size and region. In the free analysis we give you an honest assessment of the budget at which it pays off for you, and when it doesn't.
How quickly will I see results?
After the campaign launch, the first clicks and inquiries usually come in within a few days. Reliable optimization needs 2 to 4 weeks of data.
Why not just list more on mobile.de?
Car marketplaces have their place. Vehicle Ads, however, reach customers earlier, right in Google Search, and take them to your own site. There you lead the sales conversation without a comparison list.
Do you only do Vehicle Ads?
Vehicle Ads are our specialty. On top of that, we manage the full range of Google Ads for car dealerships: search campaigns for workshop and service, Performance Max, brand campaigns and remarketing. As a Google Partner agency focused on automotive.
How much budget do I need to plan for?
It's like buying a car: without knowing which model, which trim and how fast you need it, any number would be unprofessional. In the free analysis we work out together the budget at which Google Ads pay off for your inventory and your market area. And we'll tell you honestly if it isn't worth it yet.
Do you also do Meta / social ads?
Our focus is on Google, because that is where purchase intent is highest and every euro stays measurable. If Meta matters to you, we'll discuss it case by case and find a solution together.
