Our Top Google Think Auto 2023 Takeaways

Political Ads: Shifting Landscape and Challenges Ahead

In 2024, political ads are expected to surge, leading to increased competition and costs in the advertising space.
Green Line Auto Takeaway: To stay competitive in this evolving landscape, you’ll need to be exploring options to boost your advertising budget.

Vehicle Ads and Performance Max Campaigns Unite

Exciting news! In September 2023, Vehicle Ads will merge with Performance Max Campaigns (learn more about the transition from vehicle ads to Performance Max here).
Green Line Auto Takeaway: To maintain control and optimize our strategies for maximum efficiency, we recommended testing the creation of Performance Max campaigns with inventory feeds as separate entities from current PMax assets. This allows you to better allocate budgets and maintain performance insights separately.

EVs and Hybrids: A Growing Market with Lower Prices

Good news for eco-conscious drivers! OEMs continue to expand their EV and Hybrid offerings, and in May 2023, average EV prices dropped by a promising 14% compared to the previous year.
Green Line Auto Takeaway: It’ll be important to explore expanded campaigns to tap into the growing demand and availability of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Tackling Income Bracket Challenges

Registrations for users making under 100K have seen a significant decline.
Green Line Auto Takeaway: To engage this income bracket, we recommend focusing on promoting light vehicles and economy car searches as the best options to boost sales and cater to the specific needs of this audience.

The Power of 1st Party Data: Building Customer-Centric Strategies

1st Party Data remains a crucial resource for building customer-oriented strategies and keeping current customers engaged.
Green Line Auto Takeaway: In order to capitalize on your 1st Party Data, you may want to consider expanding current campaigns to include strategies such as buyback programs and service needs. Additionally, Green Line Auto is thrilled to announce that an enhanced version of 1st Party Data will be rolled out in 2024, benefiting all clients without any extra cost for those already integrated with this invaluable tool.
