Have you tried Google Vehicle Ads (GVA), but decided to stop?

We’d like to hear from dealers whose experience didn’t meet expectations. What went wrong, and what would you need to see done differently?

Were you unsure what the figures meant? Struggling to get answers? Or finding that enquiries weren’t turning into sales?

Your feedback helps us understand where dealers need better support, whether that’s clearer reporting, more regular conversations or a closer look at what happens after an enquiry comes in.

Backed by over 12 years of CMe, we’re automotive marketing specialists and a Google Partner. Our team of in-house specialists works as an extension of your team, helping you understand what your advertising is delivering and where improvements are needed.

Considering giving GVA another go? We’re offering one month of free call tracking to give you better visibility of the calls your campaigns generate.
Vote above and comment below with your experience. There’s no need to name your previous provider - we’re interested in what would have made a difference.

The September registration change brings opportunities across the motor trade – particularly for the used car market.

The arrival of the new 76 plate is an important period for new car dealers, with increased interest from motorists looking to change their vehicle. But that activity also has a knock-on effect for used car retailers, as more new car registrations typically mean more part-exchanges and used vehicles entering the market.

For used car dealers, that creates opportunity. More stock can mean greater choice when sourcing vehicles, but also increased competition when it comes to getting those vehicles seen by potential buyers.

That’s where having the right digital marketing strategy becomes increasingly important.

Google Vehicle Ads can put individual vehicles directly in front of customers actively searching for their next car, using your live stock feed to promote relevant vehicles at the point of search. Alongside GVA, PPC, paid social and SEO can help both new and used car dealers increase visibility, generate enquiries and keep stock moving.

At CMe Automotive, we’ve been automotive marketing specialists for over 12 years. As a Google Partner, our team of in-house specialists works with independent dealers, franchised retailers and dealer groups across the UK, acting as an extension of their team and helping make their marketing budgets work harder.

With the September plate change driving activity across both the new and used car markets, now is a good time to make sure your dealership – and your vehicles – are being seen.

CarFest returns to Silverstone Circuit this weekend! 🏁

At CMe Media, we specialise in planning and delivering targeted marketing campaigns that put brands and events in front of the audiences that matter.

We’ve worked with CarFest for a number of years, supporting the team with strategic media planning and advertising designed to build awareness and drive ticket sales.

This year, that has included geo-targeted billboard advertising, alongside targeted Amazon Prime advertising running during ad breaks in Clarkson’s Farm, reaching viewers with an interest in automotive.

It’s a great example of how we bring together audience insight, media planning and targeted advertising to make sure marketing budgets are being spent in the right places.

With years of experience marketing events across the UK, and specialist automotive insight through our sister business CMe Automotive, we understand how to build campaigns around the audience an event needs to reach.

Good luck to the CarFest team for another fantastic weekend at Silverstone!

🚗 Better websites. Smarter marketing. More opportunities for dealers.

We’re pleased to be working in partnership with MotorDesk, combining their automotive website platform with CMe Automotive’s 12+ years of automotive marketing experience.

A great website needs the right customers to find it, while great marketing works harder when it sends traffic to a website built to convert.

Through our partnership, MotorDesk dealers can access CMe Automotive marketing support directly through the platform, while we can recommend MotorDesk to dealers looking for the right website solution.

Together, we can help dealers increase visibility, drive targeted traffic, track performance and generate more quality enquiries.

Who you trust with your Google Vehicle Ads (GVA) matters.

GVA might look simple from the outside, but delivering it properly takes more than switching on a campaign.

It takes automotive knowledge, healthy vehicle feeds, experienced campaign management, accurate tracking and an understanding of how GVA fits into the wider customer journey.

At CMe Automotive, we're GVA specialists, backed by 12 years of automotive marketing experience and a team of in-house specialists. We take a professional, transparent and data-led approach focused on what really matters – traffic, enquiries, sales and return on investment.

But GVA is only part of what we do. From paid advertising and stock feeds to SEO, social, email, websites, tracking and reporting, our in-house team can support virtually every aspect of your dealership's marketing.

No noise. No shortcuts. Just experienced automotive marketing professionals focused on doing the job properly.

Are you seeing a real return on your advertising spend? 🚗

And more importantly, do you actually know where your leads – and sales – are coming from?
At CMe Automotive, we're Google Vehicle Ads specialists, helping dealers get their live stock in front of buyers actively searching for their next vehicle.
But GVA is only part of the picture.

We can use your live vehicle stock feed across Google, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, reaching buyers at different stages of their journey – from discovering a vehicle on social media to actively searching for one on Google.

And with advanced tracking, call tracking and VRM sales matching, we can go beyond clicks and impressions to show which channels are generating enquiries, what those leads are costing and, ultimately, which activity is helping you sell cars.

Already spending money on GVA, Meta or TikTok but not sure what you're getting back?

Let's have a look. Drop us a message and we'll be happy to chat through your current setup.
