Auto dealers · Ad Spend & Co-op

Every ad dollar, every co-op dollar, on one page.

Google’s "conversions" include soft actions that never become customers. We count real ones — calls, form submits, store visits, direction requests — and show cost per real conversion by campaign. Then we pace the monthly budget across every agency you use and track OEM co-op from eligible spend to the reimbursement check.

Quick sign-up, then click anything. It's a fictional dealer group with example numbers.

The problem

Reported conversions aren’t customers. Unclaimed co-op is lost money.

Platform dashboards count page views and clicks as conversions. Budgets drift across agencies nobody reconciles. And co-op funds expire because nobody assembled the claim packet.

What you get

Spend you can defend to the dealer principal.

  • Real conversions by campaign

    Calls from ads, website calls, forms, store visits, and directions — with cost per real conversion next to Google’s own number.

  • Budget pacing

    Monthly budget, projected spend, and pace for every campaign — including spend with other agencies.

  • Net after co-op

    Projected spend minus co-op-eligible dollars, so you see the true cost to the store.

  • Co-op funds

    Available OEM co-op by brand with program terms, reimbursement rate, and expiration.

  • Claim packets

    Monthly reimbursement packets per manufacturer with the ad statement and supporting reports, tracked from filed to reimbursed.

  • Call value to Google

    Tracked calls are scored and sent back to Google Ads so bidding optimizes for buyers, not dialers.
