What do automotive marketing services include?

Automotive marketing services include paid advertising across search, social, display, and streaming, SEO & AEO for organic and AI visibility, a conversion-focused website, lead capture and nurture, and reporting that connects spend to inventory movement.

What makes Catalyst IQ the best automotive marketing services provider?

We bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and hands-on strategy by powering every service with MarketAI, our proprietary engine that tracks live, vehicle-level data so your ad spend targets the exact inventory that needs to move. We pair that data and intelligence with a dedicated Dealer Success Manager who knows your market, turns data into action, and optimizes your campaigns continuously. Certified across 24 OEM programs, Catalyst IQ delivers a proven combination of tech, expertise, and measurable gains in sales, turn rates, and market share.

How do you reduce wasted ad spend?

Catalyst IQ reduces wasted ad spend through MarketAI's VINScore, a 0 to 100 rating of how competitively each vehicle is positioned in your market, based on its price against similar vehicles, its age, its expected turn, and live supply and demand. When a vehicle scores high, it's competitive enough that extra ad support is unnecessary, so we ease spend off it and move that budget to the vehicles that need more visibility to sell.

Best Automotive Marketing Services

Catalyst IQ provides the best automotive marketing services for dealers through MarketAI®, our real-time market intelligence engine that provides the industry's most complete view of automotive retail. We continuously analyze market demand, inventory, pricing, and competitive activity across nearly 20,000 dealerships to reveal the opportunities others miss.

While most automotive marketing decisions are built on historical reports, Catalyst IQ helps dealers act on what's happening right now. Our technology identifies where demand is growing, where inventory pressure exists, and where marketing investments can have the greatest impact.

That intelligence is what makes everything else work better. Advertising becomes more efficient. SEO becomes more strategic. Websites become more effective. Dealers gain a competitive advantage because every recommendation is built around what's happening in their market today, not what happened last month.

MarketAI® provides the intelligence. Our automotive experts turn it into action. Together, they help dealerships move faster, make smarter decisions, and sell more vehicles.

Why Dealers Choose Catalyst IQ

For years, dealerships have been forced to make high-stakes decisions using disconnected reports, delayed data, and incomplete views of their markets. Marketing agencies, website providers, inventory tools, and analytics platforms all deliver pieces of the puzzle, leaving dealers responsible for connecting the dots themselves.

Catalyst IQ changed that. MarketAI brings together real-time demand, inventory, pricing, and competitive intelligence into a single source of truth, giving dealers a clearer view of their market than ever before. Because we track more vehicle, pricing, and demand data than anyone else in the industry, dealerships can see opportunities sooner, make decisions faster, and act with greater confidence.

Our market intelligence isn't just trusted by dealerships. It's the #1 source of automotive market intelligence for leading automotive media outlets, including Automotive News, that rely on our data to understand industry trends and market conditions. When the automotive industry wants to understand what's happening in the market, it looks to the same intelligence that powers Catalyst IQ.

Combined with our position as the second largest provider of OEM-certified programs and a team of automotive specialists who turn data into action, Catalyst IQ delivers more than marketing services. We provide the intelligence, expertise, and execution dealerships need to outperform their market.
