Dealer growth from people who have run the floor
Twenty years in automotive, top-50 US sales, carried straight into digital marketing. We have sold the cars, run the floor, and answered the calls you are missing. Now we install voice agents and data-driven media that tie to units sold and to your own numbers, not to clicks. We speak dealer.
Where the units leak
You already know where the money goes out the door, because you watch it happen every week.
The phone rings during a busy Saturday and nobody picks up. The service line backs up and a customer hangs up and books down the street. An up calls after hours, gets voicemail, and is sitting in a competitor's showroom by Monday. Your BDC is expensive, it turns over, and the experience a shopper gets depends entirely on who happened to answer. Some calls get worked. Some get dropped. You cannot see which is which until the month closes and the numbers are short.
Then there is the spend. You are paying for marketing across every channel and every zip code, and at the end of the month you still cannot point to a single unit and say that ad sold it. Most of your volume actually sits in three or four models and a handful of known zip codes. The spend is sprayed everywhere else.
Every missed call is a sale or a service ticket walking out the door. Every untracked dollar is a dollar you cannot defend.
That is the status quo. Now the fix.

Why us, here
Most agencies pitching dealers have never stood on a showroom floor. We have.
Vandoko's founder spent twenty years in automotive, finished top-50 in US sales, and carried that into digital marketing. When we talk about the up that got away, the service line that backs up, and the spend you cannot defend in a Monday meeting, we are talking about rooms we have been in. That is the difference between an agency that learned your business from a slide deck and one that ran it. We speak dealer at a peer level.
We also build before we sell. Vandoko.ai is our own automotive market-intelligence platform, the one we architected, shipped, and operate. It started at four market axes and expanded to eleven by adding Google Cloud compute. For automotive clients, that intelligence bundles into the engagement, so your media decisions run on real market signal, not guesswork.
And it is turnkey. Agents, media, and web under one roof and one invoice, tied to units sold. You stop stitching together a phone vendor, a media agency, and a web shop that do not talk to each other. One partner. One number that matters: did it sell cars.
Questions dealers ask
- Will this integrate with our CRM and DMS?
- Yes. The agents are built to wire into your CRM and telephony so every call is logged, qualified, and routed where your team already works. Leads land in your system as warm, documented ups, not as a separate inbox someone has to check. We scope the integration to your stack during the growth audit. CRM and helpdesk integration is a normal part of the build, not an afterthought.
- Is this replacing our BDC, or supporting it?
- We position the agents as support and an extension of your team, and that is how most stores run them. The agents catch the calls your people cannot get to: the Saturday rush, after hours, the service overflow, the second and third simultaneous up. Your team stays on the conversations that need a human. If you do want to rethink the BDC entirely, we will have that conversation honestly with your numbers in front of us, but we do not lead by ripping out your people.
- How do you tie spend to actual cars sold?
- We point media at the three or four models and the zip codes where your volume actually lives, then track each dollar toward appointments and units rather than impressions. The agents capture call data that feeds the targeting, so the loop tightens every cycle. You get reporting on the only numbers you can bank: qualified leads, appointments, and units influenced. We report in revenue, not reach.
- What does this cost, and is ad spend included?
- The core engagement is turnkey and starts at $5K per month, one partner and one invoice. Builds start at $10K, which covers the build plus the first month. Ad spend is separate and always yours, stated plainly, so the budget you put down works harder rather than disappearing into our fee. We price so the return is obvious and we tell you when added spend hits diminishing returns.
- Is it safe to put AI on our phones with customers?
- We do not ship unproven experiments to a store. There is a human in the loop where it counts, the agents are tuned against your real call patterns before they go live, and you keep control of cost and the greeting. We earn trust through reliable outcomes you can watch on the report, not by pretending the technology never changes.
- How fast can this be live?
- In as little as 24 hours. Lean by design and deep in the domain, so we install and start producing while a traditional agency is still scheduling the kickoff. The exact timeline depends on your CRM and phone setup, which we scope in the growth audit.
