The Cars.com 'Lot Insights' report shows the folks who are using their phone on lot to use Cars.com (if they have Location Services turned on)

I always shake my head at this report. Not because I don't like it but because we are part of a group and our dealership bucks right up against the another. So I can never really tell how accurate it is. :banghead:

Dealers discuss Google Adwords' Store Visit Conversions feature, which tracks how ad clicks influence physical store visits, with Rick Buffkin introducing the capability and others debating its practical value. The core disagreement centers on attribution modeling—while some see it as a useful additional metric for measuring paid search's contribution to showroom traffic, others caution that it oversimplifies the multi-touch customer journey by crediting a single ad click for a visit influenced by multiple marketing channels. The thread concludes that while Google's data is useful as one metric among many, dealers should employ more sophisticated statistical analysis methods (ANOVA, Bayesian models) rather than relying on single-click attribution to truly understand marketing lift.
