Hill Country Auto Group
AI-driven inventory marketing cut cost-per-sale by 52% and doubled test drive bookings
The Challenge
Hill Country Auto Group was spending $45,000/month on traditional advertising with declining ROI and no way to track which channels were actually driving sales.
Spending $45K/month on TV, radio, and print with no attribution tracking
Website inventory pages had 3-minute average load times on mobile
Sales team spending 4+ hours/day manually responding to online inquiries
No CRM integration — leads falling through the cracks daily
Competitors outranking them for every major San Antonio auto search term
The Solution
We replaced their spray-and-pray advertising with AI-powered inventory marketing, built a lightning-fast mobile site, and deployed an AI sales assistant that pre-qualified every lead.
Built AI-powered dynamic inventory ads that auto-update with current stock
Rebuilt mobile website achieving sub-2-second load times
Deployed AI sales assistant for instant lead response and pre-qualification
Integrated CRM with automated lead scoring and follow-up sequences
Launched YouTube and Meta retargeting campaigns with AI creative optimization
The Results
Real numbers. Real growth. Real ROI.
