Introducing the On-Facebook Destination for Automotive Inventory Ads (AIA)

Facebook Business

Last year we announced our enhanced Automotive inventory ads (AIA) to help make ads more relevant to people interested in purchasing a car. Those enhancements expanded dealerships’ reach beyond the people who had already visited their website or app, and let dealerships get in front of even more prospective car shoppers based on their visits to other auto and dealer-related Pages, websites and apps.

We remain committed to helping dealers increase profitability, so today we’re launching the ability to drive automotive inventory ads to a mobile-optimized shopping experience on the Facebook platform. When a shopper clicks on an auto dealer’s ad, they’ll land on a dynamic Vehicle Detail Page (VDP) on Facebook that’s created using information from the dealer’s auto catalog. From this VDP, shoppers can research vehicles, discover additional inventory and connect directly with dealers via Facebook Messenger, lead form Businesses can capture leads via Messenger and/or a lead form in all countries except the United States and Canada, where only Messenger is available., phone call or by visiting a dealership in person.

Driving AIA campaigns to an on-Facebook ad destination allows you to:
