The Problem

Your marketing is only as good as your inventory.

You can run the best ad campaigns in the world. Perfect targeting, compelling copy, optimized bids. But when a shopper clicks through and sees a vehicle with two blurry photos and a price from three weeks ago?

They're gone. And you just paid for that click.

The Marketability Report catches these problems before customers do—and before you waste money driving traffic to vehicles that aren't ready to sell.

The hidden cost of unmarketable inventory:

$2.50 per click

Average SEM cost

47 vehicles × 50 clicks/week

Traffic to under-photographed inventory

= $5,875/month wasted

Daily Monitoring

What the Marketability Report Tracks

Every day, we scan your inventory and flag vehicles that need attention.

📷

Photo Count

Are your vehicles showing their best?

Shoppers expect 20+ high-quality photos. Vehicles with fewer photos get fewer clicks, fewer leads, and take longer to sell. We flag every vehicle below your threshold.

Configurable threshold

Default: 20 photos minimum

💲

Pricing Freshness

Is your pricing current?

Stale pricing signals neglect. If a vehicle's price hasn't changed in two weeks, either it's perfectly priced (rare) or nobody's paying attention. We flag vehicles that haven't been touched.

Configurable threshold

Default: 14 days without change

📅

Days on Lot

Which vehicles are aging out?

Aged inventory is expensive inventory. Floor plan costs, depreciation, and opportunity cost add up fast. We track days on lot and alert you when vehicles cross your thresholds.

Configurable thresholds

Default: 45, 60, 90 day markers

The Bigger Picture

Marketing accountability starts with inventory accountability.

You can't fairly evaluate a vendor's performance if the inventory they're sending traffic to isn't ready to convert. The Marketability Report closes that gap—giving you confidence that when a vendor underperforms, it's actually on them.

Before:

"Meta isn't converting. Must be their targeting."

After:

"Meta is sending traffic to 47 vehicles with 5 photos each. Fix the inventory first, then evaluate the vendor."
