Facebook Automotive Inventory Ads integration that keeps your cars in your Meta ads automatically

Run Meta's automotive inventory ads on Facebook and Instagram without building them one car at a time. With your Meta accounts in place, AutoDealer.io keeps those ads in step with your lot and takes sold cars out on its own. Shoppers see cars you still have, at the price you are asking, so your cars sell faster.

How the Facebook integration helps you sell

Do the setup once, and your Meta ads show the cars on your lot today.
  • Fills your ads with your cars

    The used cars you publish in AutoDealer.io are ready for your Meta ads, with their photos, price and mileage.

    Automatic
  • Keeps up with your changes

    Drop a price or add photos in AutoDealer.io, and your ads catch up on their own.

    Kept current
  • Stops advertising sold cars

    Mark a deal sold and the car leaves your ads on its own, so you stop paying to advertise a car you no longer have.

    Automatic
  • Leaves the ad decisions to you

    You run the ads and pay for them in your own Meta ad account, on the budget you choose. AutoDealer.io never does.

    Your Meta account

Facebook automotive inventory ads, filled from the inventory you already keep

Automotive inventory ads are what Meta calls the paid ads that show a dealer's cars on Facebook and Instagram. With the integration set up, AutoDealer.io keeps yours matched to your lot, so your ad money goes to cars you can still sell, and they sell faster.

  • No ad to build for each car

    The cars you already keep in AutoDealer.io fill your Meta ads, so there is nothing to write car by car.

  • Shoppers land on your website

    A click opens the car's page on your own website, with your name on it and your form ready to fill in.

  • Your numbers stay yours

    Of your numbers, the integration shares only the asking price. Your cost, your customers and your deals stay in AutoDealer.io.

How your cars reach your Meta ads
  1. You publish a used car

    With an asking price, a photo, over 500 miles, an exterior color and a body style.

  2. Your ads pick it up

    Meta reviews it by its own rules, and your ads can show it.

  3. A shopper opens your ad

    They arrive on the car's page on your website. If they fill in the form, you see it on your Leads page.

Sold cars stop showing in your ads on their own.

How to get your cars into your Meta ads

  • Get your Meta accounts ready

    You need Meta Commerce Manager, a Meta ad account and a Meta Pixel connected to your catalog. Your AutoDealer.io website can carry the Pixel.

  • Open Facebook Vehicle Ads

    Under Settings, Marketplaces, open the Facebook Vehicle Ads card. Only owners and managers can do this.

  • Add your inventory in Commerce Manager

    Follow the steps on the card to add your inventory once in Meta Commerce Manager. Meta reviews your cars by its own rules, and after that they stay current in your ads automatically.

Good to know

Facebook Vehicle Ads are paid advertising, not free Marketplace listings. You run and pay for the ads in your own Meta ad account, and Meta decides what appears on its sites. It takes used cars over 500 miles with an exterior color and a body style. Facebook, Instagram and Meta are trademarks of their respective owner; AutoDealer.io is not affiliated with or endorsed by Facebook, Instagram or Meta.

Questions about your Facebook ads

What you need, where your cars can show and who pays for the ads.

Does AutoDealer.io work with Facebook automotive inventory ads?

Yes. Open Facebook Vehicle Ads under Settings, Marketplaces, and add your inventory once in Meta Commerce Manager with the steps on the card. After Meta's review, your ads keep up with the used cars you publish.

Can my cars appear on Facebook Marketplace?

As paid ads, yes. Meta can show automotive inventory ads on Facebook, Instagram and Marketplace, run from your own Meta ad account. They are not free Marketplace listings.

What does it cost, and who pays for the ads?

The integration is included in every AutoDealer.io plan. The ads you pay for yourself in your own Meta ad account, on the budget you choose. AutoDealer.io never runs them or pays for them.

Where do shoppers go when they click an ad?

To your own website: the ad opens that car's page there. When the shopper fills in its form, the lead appears on your Leads page.
