Turn Video Viewers Into

Vehicle Buyers

YouTube is where serious car buyers research. They watch walkarounds, compare trims, and read comments before ever contacting a dealership. AUTONOMi ensures your inventory shows up at every stage of that research journey with targeted, measurable video campaigns.

Buyers Research on YouTube. Show Up Before Anyone Else.

YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world — and automotive content is one of its most consumed categories. Buyers watch hours of walkarounds, reviews, and comparison videos before making a decision. AUTONOMi places your dealership's video content directly in those research sessions, at the exact moment intent is highest, with campaigns that drive calls, form fills, and showroom visits.

  • TrueView and non-skippable placements targeting active vehicle researchers on YouTube
  • Existing walkaround video turned into targeted paid campaigns — no new production required
  • Connected TV extension that puts your dealership on the living room screen
  • Full attribution tracking from video view to website visit, call, or showroom trip

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Everything Your YouTube Campaign Needs to Win

Built specifically for automotive dealerships. Optimized for the YouTube platform and your buyers' behavior.

TrueView In-Stream Ads

Skippable pre-roll ads that only charge when a buyer chooses to keep watching past 30 seconds or to the end. Built-in quality filtering — you pay only for genuine interest. We optimize the first 5 seconds to earn the watch from your target audience.

Non-Skippable Bumper Ads

Six-second bumper ads for brand recall and offer promotion that play before automotive content and can't be skipped. Guaranteed impressions, guaranteed message delivery — perfect for time-sensitive offers, new arrivals, and event promotions.

Video Action Campaigns

Drive direct response from YouTube viewers — phone calls, form completions, and VDP visits tracked back to specific videos and placements. Bridge the gap between brand awareness and measurable lead generation in a single campaign type.

Inventory Walkaround Promotion

Turn your existing vehicle walkaround videos into paid targeting machines. We identify which walkarounds are most likely to convert based on make, model, and inventory age — then target buyers actively searching for those exact vehicles.

YouTube Remarketing

Re-engage users who watched your videos, visited your channel, or interacted with previous ads — with sequential follow-up creative that moves them from consideration to action. Your budget stays focused on the warmest audiences.

Connected TV Extension

Extend your YouTube campaigns to smart TV screens — reaching buyers during prime evening and weekend viewing time in their living rooms. Full-screen, premium placement with household-level targeting and cross-device attribution.

HOW IT WORKS

Live in Days. Optimized Forever.

Our infrastructure-first approach means your YouTube campaigns are structured correctly from day one — and improve continuously after that.

01

Video Asset Audit

We review your existing video content and identify which vehicles and formats are immediately ready to promote as paid campaigns with no additional production.

02

Campaign Architecture

Campaigns structured by model line, new vs. used, and service department — with proper audience targeting, bidding strategy, and ad sequencing built in from the start.

03

Audience Targeting Stack

In-market buyer audiences, custom intent keywords, competitor channel targeting, and remarketing lists layered together for precision reach at every funnel stage.

04

Creative Optimization Loop

Intros, calls-to-action, and thumbnails tested continuously to improve view-through rates and lower cost per acquisition as campaigns mature.
