3 Simple Ways Google VAs Can Help You Sell More Cars
-
Paid ads are vital to helping you reach customers by bringing them to your dealer website. But Google VAs help you cast a wider net across the web to catch more potential customers without bringing them to your website or establishing brand authority first. If you have the vehicle somebody is looking for, your Google VAs make it easy for them to find you!
-
Google VAs can help you sell more cars by showing up in a larger geographical area. You might be getting great leads with a 20-mile radius, but what if you extended that radius to 30 miles? Or more? We can target different geographic areas to increase the number of potential shoppers who are interested in your vehicles.
Now, you might be asking, “But isn’t this already how my paid ads work? Aren’t I already targeting specific geographic areas?”
Well, yes. But the critical difference with Google VAs is that you’re advertising specific inventory and not just general services or products, which makes these ads more likely to have a better conversion rate when you increase your geographic reach.
-
Google VAs allow you to control where and to whom your ads are showing. Customers will be shown vehicles for sale in your inventory right now that match their specific search terms. So if somebody searches for a red 2020 RAM 1500 and you happen to have a red 2020 RAM 1500 in your vehicle inventory, your truck will be displayed front and centre to that customer.
