What's the best way to get my inventory on Facebook marketplace?

 

[TJThompson]

I've seen a couple methods.
One is a guy who sells a little desktop app that logs in as a sales rep in FB and does a few posts per day

I have been wondering if "muse" or one of the other agents may be able to do this

Good question, and the answer is less obvious than it should be. From what we’ve seen building in this space, there are basically three routes:

1. Post by hand. Free, but it eats a rep’s time, and the posts go stale. Prices change and sold units stay up unless someone remembers to fix them.
2. A direct inventory feed. Meta only takes direct vehicle feeds through approved partners, so this mostly comes through bigger platforms, not something you can just turn on yourself.
3. Assisted posting tools. This is what TJ is describing: software that posts from a real person’s account, the same way a rep would by hand. It’s fast and works today. Go in knowing it still runs through someone’s personal profile, so keep the pace reasonable.

Whichever route you pick, the part people underestimate is keeping the listings in sync. Price drops and sold cars need to come down too, or you end up with the advertised-price problem carguyfiles raised in the Greenway thread.


Disclosure: I work on GarageBIRDS, which does the assisted kind of posting as part of a dealer management system for independent lots. Happy to answer questions either way. How many units are you trying to keep up?
