  • Publication number: 20180012258
    Abstract: A vehicle advertising system comprises a processor configured to perform operations in response to instructions from a predefined instruction set, a memory, and an advertisement module comprising instructions selected from the instruction set. The instructions when executed on the processor are operable to receive identification and financing information regarding a specific vehicle for sale, to generate a first advertisement formatted for presentation in a search engine result listing based on at least the received identification information and the received financing information, to generate a second advertisement formatted for presentation on a vehicle dealer website landing page associated with the first advertisement and based on at least the received identification information and the received financing information, and to provide a predicted effectiveness score on at least one of the first advertisement and the second advertisement before publication of the at least one advertisement.
