Facebook Ads

Facebook & Instagram ads for dealerships, run by AI.

AUTONOMi's AEGIS plans and runs a dealership's Facebook and Instagram advertising — including Automotive Inventory Ads that pair the store's live vehicles with in-market shoppers — reviewed for OEM-brand and ad-compliance. You own the ad account; AUTONOMi runs it on one flat monthly fee, never a cut of your spend.

Definition

What are Facebook ads for a car dealership?

Facebook ads for a car dealership are the paid campaigns a store runs across Facebook and Instagram to reach local shoppers in Meta's feeds, Stories, Reels and Marketplace. With Automotive Inventory Ads, the store's live vehicles are matched to people showing buying signals, so the cars shown are ones actually in stock and the budget follows real demand.

How it works

How does AUTONOMi run a dealership's Facebook ads?

AEGIS builds and optimizes Meta campaigns; you keep the account and the flat fee.

Facebook and Instagram, end to end

AEGIS plans, launches and manages campaigns across Facebook and Instagram feeds, Stories and Reels, structured around the store's models and current offers.

Automotive Inventory Ads

AEGIS runs Meta's Automotive Inventory Ads, pairing the dealership's live inventory with shoppers showing in-market signals, so ads feature specific vehicles that are actually on the lot.

Anchored to live inventory

Vehicle data is read from the store's own website and OEM sources by scraping, so a sold unit stops being advertised and the catalog stays current.

OEM-compliant by default

Every ad and asset clears OEM brand and ad-compliance review before it runs, with a hash-chained audit trail of what ran and why.

What are Automotive Inventory Ads?

Automotive Inventory Ads are a Meta ad format that connects a dealership's live vehicle catalog to Facebook and Instagram, so shoppers see specific in-stock vehicles matched to their interest. AUTONOMi builds and maintains that catalog from the store's live, scraped inventory.

Do I own my Facebook ad account?

Yes. The Meta ad account and its data stay in the dealership's name. AUTONOMi runs the campaigns for you rather than trapping them in an agency-owned account, and never marks up your ad spend.

Built for car dealerships and dealer groups — a single rooftop or a multi-rooftop group. Every store runs its own inventory-anchored campaigns, content and follow-up, with consistent governance and reporting across the group.
