How It Works

The Inventory Search ad placement provides advertising exposure in the highly trafficked search path, where in-market shoppers are searching for specific makes and models.

You can now drive home DMA and model level messaging before the shopper moves into their search results with the 300×250 Search Form ad.

All National Account ad placements accept the Search Result Page Mobile App – iPhone only & Mobile Web

  • The 300×250 ad size (with all ad slots continuing to support the 320×50), bringing better alignment between the mobile app and mobile web experiences
