04The System

It's not just ads. It's a system.

Three interconnected components that work together to turn ad spend into closed deals.

AHI System: Paid Ads → Follow-Up System → Live Dashboard
Automated Speed-to-Lead

Immediate follow-up sequences triggered the moment a lead comes in. No manual steps, no delays.

Live Performance Dashboard

A real-time dashboard so you can track ad performance, lead volume, and campaign results any time — no waiting for a report.

Appointment Tracking

Every appointment is tracked from booking through show and sale — with full visibility.

Manager Visibility

Real-time dashboards give managers a clear view of pipeline health and team performance.

Ongoing Optimization

Continuous review of ad performance and follow-up effectiveness. Monthly strategy adjustments.

Proven Follow-Up System

We set up and refine a proven follow-up system for your store — properly configured, tested, and managed.

05Follow-Up System

Where most dealerships lose deals.

The gap between a lead and a sale isn't the ad. It's what happens after the lead comes in.

The dealership problem

Slow response
Leads go cold in minutes. Most dealerships respond in hours — or not at all.
Missed opportunities
Without a structured follow-up cadence, opportunities fall through the cracks daily.
Poor tracking
No visibility into which leads became appointments, which showed, and which sold.
No manager visibility
Managers can't coach what they can't see. Most stores operate blind.

The ahi solution

1
Lead
Lead enters from a Meta ad. Immediately captured and tagged.
2
First Response
Automated sequence fires within minutes. Personalized, dealership-branded messaging.
3
Appointment
Structured follow-up cadence moves lead toward a booked appointment.
4
Show
Appointment confirmation and reminder sequence maximizes show rate.
5
Sale
Post-show follow-up for unsold opportunities. Nothing falls through the cracks.
05bInventory Advertising

Ads that sell specific vehicles.

Dynamic carousel ads pull directly from your inventory and send buyers to a custom high-converting SRP page — not your generic dealership website.

Dynamic Carousel Ads

Meta carousel ads that automatically cycle through your live inventory — each vehicle with its own image, price, and CTA. Buyers click the exact car they want.

Custom Inventory Funnel Pages

We build a dedicated SRP-style landing page for your store — searchable, sortable inventory with estimated payments, "Get Pre-Approved" and "Text Us" CTAs on every vehicle.

Higher Intent, Lower Cost

Buyers who click a specific vehicle are further down the funnel. Custom pages convert at a higher rate than generic websites — meaning lower cost per lead.

Built for Every Credit Tier

Funnel pages can be configured for prime, subprime, or mixed inventory — with messaging and CTAs tailored to the buyer type you're targeting.

Steeltown Ford custom inventory funnel page — live SRP with vehicle cards, estimated payments, Get Pre-Approved and Text Us CTAs

Example: Custom inventory funnel page for Steeltown Ford

How dynamic carousel ads work
1
Inventory synced

Your live inventory is pulled into the ad system. Each vehicle becomes its own carousel card.

2
Buyer clicks their vehicle

The ad shows the exact car, price, and payment estimate. Buyer clicks directly to that vehicle on your funnel page.

3
Lead captured on a high-converting page

Custom SRP page with pre-approval form and text CTA — not a generic website that loses them.

06Process

We audit your current setup, define 90-day goals, and install proper tracking across Meta.

Campaigns built for your market, inventory, and offer. Creative structured for performance, not just aesthetics.

Live performance dashboardMonthly strategy reviewsOngoing optimization
08Special Finance

Built for special finance teams.

Special finance is a different game. The creative, messaging, follow-up cadence, and workflow all need to reflect that.

Creative

Ads built around approval-focused messaging. Credit-acceptance language that attracts subprime buyers without repelling prime.

Qualification Messaging

Pre-qualification language in ads and follow-up that sets expectations and improves lead quality before they walk in the door.

Follow-Up Cadence

Subprime buyers require more touchpoints and different timing. The follow-up system is calibrated for the SF sales cycle.

Workflow

CRM workflows built for the SF process — from lead intake through lender submission and delivery. Dealership-native language throughout.

09Accountability

Reliable communication. Clear expectations.

You'll always know what's happening, what's performing, and what's next.

Live Dashboard

A real-time dashboard so you can track ad performance, lead volume, and campaign results any time — no waiting for a report.

Monthly Review

Scheduled monthly strategy call to review results, discuss optimization, and plan the next period.

Response Standards

Defined response time commitments. You won't be left waiting for answers to important questions.
