These are our SEO keyword search terms. At Excel Advertising, your automotive advertising agency serving car dealerships in the US, we want to raise awareness for your dealership by focusing on organic traffic, business profiles and search engine rankings. We focus on more than the superficial advertising that you see, we also focus on the behind-the-scenes advertising that you don’t see like microsites, search engine submissions, blogs and links. All verticals are addressed.
At Excel Advertising, we want to do more than ‘live long and prosper’. We want to generate ideas that drive traffic. We want to create designs that excite. We want to initiate content that differentiates your brand.
Yes, we place and create traditional advertising like print and outdoor but most of our space is focused on digital. We recognize that many of our dealer partners are required to utilize certain vendors for digital services in order to utilize co-op funds for example. But that can be a set it and forget it mentality. We actively manage those campaigns by customizing offers, comparing keyword results to sales, running competitive analysis and ultimately holding your vendors accountable.
Because of our longevity in the market, we have strong relationships with our media partners and are always cultivating these relationships to get the most for our dealerships. At our core, we offer multi-channel media planning, placement, research, full creative, results tracking and amazing customer service.
Media Buying

Digital Advertising
This is the core to most agencies although we like to say we take it a step further. We forge strong relationships with our media partners. Many of our staff have worked on their side of the desk so we understand their business. Because we cultivate our relationships, we have a successful track record of leveraging our media partners for opportunities for our clients. Some of these opportunities include last minute opportunities, grass roots inclusion, special promotional offers and bonus weight schedules. No matter the market, we work with your local partners on your behalf and have an open door policy between them and the dealership. We want them to feel included – it is in your best interest to have them immersed and vested in your dealership as well.
