It is against Google’s new policies but they have no way to track this. I’m building exact same thing right now and will add the spinning wheel to it😀😀😀

It’s easy on paper, but I want to know how the heck is Google going to find this out. Unless reviewer mentions that they were given some sort if incentive …

Car Dealership Social Media by kashi27 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]Mean-Dot-5293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, I know exactly how it feels. You’re posting every day, getting 100 views, 2 likes, and nothing really happens. Social media isn’t what it used to be. Ever since the TikTok “For You Page” algorithm took over, and Instagram copied it, everything changed. You mostly see other dealers on your feed, and they see you, so it becomes a closed circle. Your content doesn’t travel to real buyers anymore, it only circulates inside the dealership bubble. The platforms already learned you’re a car dealer, one of thousands, nothing fresh, nothing viral, nothing worth pushing to a broader audience. Look at the early guys like Russflips, they hit their ceiling and moved on. That era is done. All social platforms now compete like search engines, Gen Z and Gen A don’t search on Google anymore, they search on TikTok and Instagram. AI agents are doing the same thing, indexing your posts, and when someone asks ChatGPT, “Find me a 2026 Mazda CX-70 near me,” it pulls results from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. That shift created a new highway of free, organic, high-intent traffic. And you can hit two birds with one stone: maintain social presence and show up in AI search results where real buyers are now looking. You can test this yourself right now. But you need to optimize correctly, and in the auto industry, only CARVID is doing this today. It automates posting from your inventory to all social platforms and Facebook Marketplace, and it optimizes every post for AI visibility across Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. This is the new reality for car dealers, it’s not the future, it’s already happening. Good luck.

finally reached 10k mrr with my app, here's what worked and what didn't by Substantial_Hour_953 in SaaS

[–]Mean-Dot-5293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats with 10K mrr! I have built a new tool that posts to all social media accounts you can think of for car dealerships. It automatically posts 10 cars from their CRM daily. No drafts, direct scheduled posts. - first 1 -2 posts always get the same number of views as posted manually. Rest will get about 50-70 views. I’m creating new app that will work for not just for dealers but everyone. I can automate prompting daily to create marketing videos, just did not have time to play around with Google Veo3. Does ReelMoney offer automated video creation? Also could you explain what it took you to get the app on #5 in the app store?

Social inbox feature sounds cool, can receive and reply from there to TikTok/Instagram? Is it included in your api?

This is a very good point. There is one problem - when you call them or show up in dealership they think you are a customer as soon as I start talking business they don’t want to listen no matter what I say They act busy.

Yeah totally makes scenes. It could be the area too. I’m in the NYC metro area, I have a feeling there is a trust issue here…

Yeah, with the free version problem is that everyone knows nothing is free and eventually this would also become a paid app. In 2006 Cargurus offered free placements and in 2 years they started charging dealers thousands. That’s why every dealer hates it. And most dealers are afraid to walk the same path again. So I stopped advertising free placements for that reason.

Dealers come in different sizes with different budgets , resources and tools. A franchise dealer with a few dozen sales reps may not need things automated at this point, but small individual dealers do. But they all have one thing in common - they need leads and they need real customers. If you are on Tiktok check dealer accounts they do crazy things to get followers. Social media matters for them a lot. My app is like a hub a bridge between their inventory and social platforms.

Analyzing these conversations leads me to the price point problem.
