Reporting guide

How dealerships can measure sold units from Facebook and Instagram ads.

Cost per lead is useful, but it is not the whole advertising story. Dealerships need reporting that connects ad demand to appointments, shows, sold vehicles, gross profit, and ad spend.

Ad reporting

Facebook ad reporting is incomplete when it stops at cost per lead.

Dealership managers need to know whether ad spend created appointments, shows, sold units, gross profit, and a reasonable cost per sold.

CPL does not tell the whole story.

A low-cost lead can still be expensive if follow-up fails, and a higher-cost lead can be valuable if it creates sold outcomes.

The follow-up layer affects the advertising report.

Meta performance and dealership response cannot be judged separately when the final outcome depends on both.

Managers need a path from spend to sold.

TECOBI reporting can connect the campaign to leads, appointments, shows, sold vehicles, gross profit, and ad spend.

Outcome report

The report should connect Meta spend to dealership sales outcomes.

TECOBI helps connect lead generation, follow-up, appointments, shows, sold vehicles, gross profit, ad spend, and ROI into a more useful campaign view.

  • CPL can look good while follow-up or sold performance is weak.
  • Appointments and shows reveal whether the follow-up layer is moving demand.
  • Gross profit and ad spend show whether the campaign created business value.
