Post cars to your Facebook Page
Get a car's post written and its photos picked, then post it on your own Facebook Page in a minute.
Last updated
Every car on your website can become a post on your dealership's own Facebook Page. AutoDealer.io writes the post and picks the photos. You paste it and post it on Facebook yourself, so nothing goes up without you seeing it.
This is a post on your Page, free, the same as a post you write by hand. It is not a Facebook ad and not a Marketplace listing. For paid ads that show your cars, see Google and Facebook vehicle ads.
Copy a post
- Open the car. In the Marketplaces card, under Facebook Page, click Copy a post….
- Pick the photos. The first ten from your website are picked, in the website's order. Click a photo to leave it out or put it back. A post takes up to ten.
- Look at Your words. They start from your website description. Change them, or click Write it with AI for a fresh few lines about the car.
- Click Copy text.
- Click Save photos. On a computer, the photos download as one zip. On a phone, the photos get ready first; then tap Share photos and pick Facebook or your photos from the share sheet.
- Click Open your Page, start a new post, add the photos and paste the words.
Open your Page shows once your Facebook Page is in your website's social links. On a phone, Facebook drops any words that come through the share sheet, which is why you copy the words first and paste them into the post.
What the post says
- The car, its price, its mileage and its main specs.
- In California, the words Total price, with the sentence about what is added at the time of sale right under them. The law asks for both on any ad for a specific car with a price.
- Your words.
- The stock number and VIN.
- Your listing disclaimer, when it is on for that car.
- How to reach you: "Message us here on Facebook", with the car's lot phone number when it has one.
The price line and your listing disclaimer cannot be taken out of the post here. If your website is in Spanish, the post is in Spanish too.
A post about a car with its price is an advertisement. California dealers must keep their ads for two years. AutoDealer.io does not keep a copy of a post you make by hand yet, so keep your own (a screenshot of the post works).
Why there is no link
Facebook now lets many Pages put a link in only 2 posts or comments a month, unless the Page pays for a Meta One plan, and posts with a link reach fewer people than posts with photos. So the post asks people to message you instead.
If your Page has no limit, tick Add the link to this car on your website and the post ends with the car's link. If your own words hold a web address or an email, the dialog says so, because that counts as a link too.
Words to leave out
The dialog warns you if your words look like a payment, a rate or a down payment ("$249 a month", "3.9% APR", "$1,500 down"). An ad that names one of those must carry federal finance disclosures, and this post does not have them. Leave them out unless your lender has given you the exact wording.
Cars that cannot be posted yet
The dialog tells you when a car is not ready, and Copy text and Save photos explain why instead of working:
- The car is not published on your website.
- The car is sold or has a sale pending.
- The car has no price.
- The car has no photos on your website.
