Automotive MarketingServices
Put the right vehicles in front of ready buyers and keep your service bays busy, with marketing built around inventory, trust and fast lead response.
Automotive Marketing Services: what the work involves
Buying a vehicle is a long, high-stakes decision, and most dealers and car-care businesses reach those buyers through classified portals alone. That leaves them paying for listings that every competitor also uses, with no way to build their own audience or follow up with people who looked but did not call. The problem is a dependence on third-party marketplaces and a lead process that loses interested buyers between the first enquiry and the showroom.
DevKey builds an owned layer on top of those portals. We create walkaround videos and inventory-based ad feeds, run campaigns toward people researching specific models, and route every enquiry to a salesperson with a clear next step. After the sale, service reminders and accessory offers keep customers in your orbit. We report on enquiries, showroom visits and test drives rather than clicks alone.
Core features
Walkaround video production
Phone-shot or crew-shot tours of each vehicle covering exterior, interior, engine bay and paperwork status, edited into short and long versions for different platforms.
Inventory-driven ad campaigns
Catalog-style ads that show current stock to people who browsed models or price ranges, updated as vehicles sell so you never advertise a car that is gone.
Test-drive and visit booking flow
A simple call, WhatsApp or booking path that turns enquiries into scheduled showroom visits, with a reminder message before the appointment.
Service and maintenance promotion
Campaigns for oil changes, detailing, tyre and brake packages aimed at owners in your area, with reminder messages tied to the last visit.
Trade-in and finance enquiry pages
Landing pages for valuation requests and finance questions, capturing details a salesperson needs to give a useful first response.
Lead-source reporting
Enquiries tagged by source, whether portal, ad, search or referral, so you can see which channel produces buyers rather than browsers.
What we get right before launch
Accurate vehicle claims
Mileage, accident history, ownership status and condition must match the vehicle. Misleading listings breach advertising law in Australia and the US and platform rules everywhere, so we verify details before they enter creative.
Test-drive and sales-call capacity
Ads that outrun your sales team's ability to answer simply waste leads. We pace spend against the number of enquiries your staff can handle the same day.
Finance and import wording
Statements about instalment plans, duty or import timelines must stay within what the bank or agent actually offers, and finance advertising carries disclosure rules in some markets.

Common questions, answered
Can you replace our listing-portal spend?
Usually not entirely. Portals remain useful for demand that is already searching. We add your own channels alongside them and compare lead quality, so you can reduce portal reliance gradually if the results justify it.
How do you handle constantly changing inventory?
We use a product-feed or regularly updated spreadsheet so ads reflect current stock. New arrivals can trigger fresh creative, and sold vehicles drop out automatically, which avoids frustrating buyers with unavailable cars.
Do you work with service workshops too?
Yes. Workshops get local search and social campaigns for specific services, plus reminders to repeat customers. The aim is dependable weekly bookings instead of relying on drive-by traffic alone.
What determines the monthly plan?
Inventory size, how fast cars move, the buyer price range and your sales team capacity set the pace. A premium showroom needs different channels and creative than a high-volume used-car lot.
