What We Do

Marketing built for car dealerships

Every channel a modern shopper touches — search, social, video, streaming, mail, and the data layer underneath. Purpose-built for the automotive retail industry. No generic agency playbooks.

Automotive SEO

Rank for every high-intent search — “car dealership near me,” model-specific queries, trade-ins, and service. Technical SEO, local optimization, and content that converts.

Paid Search & PPC

Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Vehicle Listing Ads (VLAs) engineered for dealership KPIs: cost-per-VDP, cost-per-lead, and attributable vehicle sales.

Inventory Advertising

VIN-level dynamic campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, and Google. Every unit on your lot, showcased to in-market shoppers at the moment they’re ready to buy.

Display Advertising & Retargeting

Banner, native, and programmatic display that follows shoppers across the web. Bring back the 95% who leave your site without converting — and pull conquest traffic from competitor lots.

Online Video, OTT & CTV

Reach shoppers where they actually watch. YouTube, Hulu, Roku, Sling, Pluto, and the streaming platforms cord-cutters live on. Full-funnel video that builds brand and drives showroom visits.

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit campaigns that build brand, drive showroom traffic, and put your dealership in the conversations local shoppers are already having.

Why Dealers Choose ZMOT

Performance partners, not vendors.

Every strategy is engineered around one goal: more cars sold. We measure success the same way you do — in deliveries, not impressions.
