Lead Ads need a path into the dealership CRM
9 Clouds' dealership guidance describes moving Meta Lead Ad submissions into the CRM through a connector such as Zapier or LeadsBridge. Its automotive service menu separately lists SEO, online advertising, email and attribution reporting. 9clouds.com
A dealership buying lead generation should therefore identify the ad form, the connector and the receiving CRM record as three parts of the setup. Test a form submission and verify that the salesperson receives the shopper's contact details and vehicle interest before buying a larger campaign. 9clouds.com
