We feel that there is a lot of misinformation in regard to the traffic that comes from Dealer Name and Dealer Brand paid search campaigns. In an effort to get a better insight into this traffic, We developed and piloted a new landing page experience for consumers that is providing valuable...
This is a heads up to anyone that works at the following dealerships or the agency that manages their ads. This should also serve as a reminder to those that manage Facebook ad campaigns to check all of your location settings for your current ad campaigns to ensure that you are only advertising...
Don't waste your money. We have tested similar sounding IP based products and none of them worked as they are sold. If you are looking for a product that puts a name and contact info to otherwise anonymous website visitors, look into FourEyes.
