The commercial problem

Returns from incorrect fitment

Parts ordered for the wrong vehicle create returns and wasted spend, and search queries often do not match the actual model.

Fast-changing inventory

Used vehicle stock changes daily, so ads and landing pages must stay synchronised with VIN-level inventory.

Price and financing claims

Advertised prices, financing offers and vehicle claims are regulated and must be accurate.

What FOCUSADS would actually do

  1. Set a break-even and target return from your contribution margin, per product group where it differs.
  2. Fix feed quality and purchase tracking (including server-side where needed) before scaling.
  3. Split new-customer acquisition from returning-customer revenue so CAC is honest.
  4. Report MER and margin-adjusted return alongside platform numbers, never blended.

Primary candidates

What happens next

  1. Build your plan

    Ten minutes of questions about your market, economics and current setup. You get channel Priority Scores, a landing-page and tracking decision, and every cost line before anyone talks to you.

  2. Strategist review

    A FOCUSADS strategist checks the plan against your accounts and data, and flags anything the engine could not know.

  3. Agreement and access

    You approve scope and fees. We request least-privilege access to your own ad accounts. You never share passwords.

  4. Launch with measurement

    Tracking and landing pages are verified before media spend starts, so the first report measures business results.
