Own the search for every car on your lot.

Pacecar Digital runs Google Ads, Performance Max, SEO and Meta for car dealers. We tie your ad spend to the VINs you actually have in stock, then report what your desk cares about: cost per lead, appointments set and cost per sale.

Your inventory, first on the page.

Search for a specific truck and Google now leads with sponsored vehicles: real photos, prices and mileage from dealer inventory, served through Performance Max. We make sure the unit shoppers see first is yours, with the right price, photos and a reason to call.

Vehicle listing ads

A real Google search in Indianapolis. Other dealers blurred.

Built for the way dealers buy marketing.

Different stores need different plans. We scope every account to the rooftop, the brand and the inventory, not to a package.

Set the pace.

The pace car leads the field and sets the speed for everyone behind it. That's the job: put your store out front in its market and keep it there.

Questions dealers ask

Do we own our ad accounts?

Yes. Your Google Ads, Meta Business Manager, GA4 and Business Profile stay in your name. We work in them with manager access. If you ever leave, the accounts, data and history leave with you.

Will you work with our website provider?

Yes. We work alongside the major dealer website platforms and your existing inventory feed provider. We need tag access and a feed, not a new website.

What does the free audit include?

A review of your Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and Google Business Profile, with a written summary of wasted spend, tracking gaps and the three changes we'd make first. You keep it whether you hire us or not.

How fast will we see results?

Tracking and waste fixes show up in the first month. Paid campaigns usually settle into a stable cost per lead within 60 to 90 days. SEO takes longer, and we'll tell you that up front.
