OUR APPROACH

Better advertising starts with the customer data you already have

Your customer data is scattered. Bring it together to power your marketing. Your CRM, sales records, and website each hold part of the customer story. LinkOne connects those pieces into one profile per customer, so you can build better audiences, reach them across channels, and connect your advertising to actual sales.

Where it stands
01

You already have valuable customer data

Your CRM, DMS, website and service records hold insights into who shops, who buys and who comes back.

02

Scattered across disconnected systems

Each system holds part of the picture. Duplicate records and mismatched information make it difficult to connect those pieces.

03

Your campaigns can't see the sale

Your campaigns miss the full picture when your customer data stays disconnected.

What we do about it
04

One shopper, one profile

We bring together records from your CRM, DMS and website, matching them to the same person, so you get a clear picture of each customer.

05

Find more people like your buyers

We use your customer profiles and purchase history to build audiences that help you reconnect with customers.

06

Reach your audience, connect the sale

We activate those audiences across your advertising channels and match buyers back to ad exposure, so you can see which campaigns reach the people who buy.

They grew from under ten cars a month and signed a second store

We killed the Facebook lead campaigns their team could not keep up with, moved the budget to traffic and SEM, and added Meta Sales Events. Dealers struggling with sales use Meta Sales Events to drive incremental growth against their sales target for the month. The growth also earned us their Infiniti store.

“We can geo-target auto intenders around each rooftop.”

Demand Local is a strong partner for several of our Connected Television (CTV) campaigns for Nucar dealerships. We can geo-target auto intenders around each rooftop in our top sales ZIP codes. The data gives us local insights into market competition and helps to refine our ad strategies. Christian and his team are knowledgeable and very responsive in providing the data we need each month to analyze our conversions and measure our ROI.

GETTING STARTED

Three steps take you from connection to proof

01
Connect

We connect to your DMS and CRM, through DealerVault or direct. Your team grants the permission, usually in an afternoon. No exports, no spreadsheets, and no waiting until the data is tidy. LinkOne is already connected to the systems you run, and the tidying is our job.

02
Clean

We normalize the records and resolve them into one profile per shopper. This is the part nobody else wants to do.

03
Prove

Campaigns run, sales come back in, and every month the reporting shows which ads sold what.

FAQ

What dealers and agencies ask on the first call

Anything not covered here, ask us directly. We would rather answer it before you sign than after.

Book a demo

No. LinkOne connects to your existing CRM and DMS through DealerVault or a supported direct integration. Your team authorizes access, and Demand Local brings the records together for audience targeting and sales measurement. Your data and customer relationships stay yours.

LinkOne matches the buyers in your DMS or sales file to their ad exposure, then identifies the vehicles they purchased. You can see which campaigns reached those buyers, even without an ad click.

Matchback compares your sales records with campaign exposure to identify buyers who saw your ads before purchasing. It connects advertising to actual vehicle sales, even when a buyer never clicked an ad.

We connect your authorized CRM and DMS data, then match sales as shoppers complete their purchases. In the Chevrolet dealer case study, the average path from first impression to sale was 49 days. Review results after month two and again in month three as more sales become available.

Yes. LinkOne supports white-labeled reporting, so your dealer clients see your agency's name and logo.

Demand Local runs CTV, streaming audio, digital out of home, online video, display, search and social. We activate your audiences across supported platforms, including The Trade Desk, Amazon, Google and Meta, with LinkOne connecting campaign exposure to vehicle sales.

Never. Demand Local does not resell your data. Your first-party data powers your own campaigns, and your customer relationships remain yours.

Count the cars your ads actually sold

Connect the DMS, run a month, and see the VINs. That is the whole pitch.
