Getting started
From a new account to your first set of ads in about five minutes.
Updated
Automotive.ad turns three things you already know — the vehicle, the offer, and your dealership — into advertising copy sized for each channel. This guide walks through the first run.
1. Create an account
Sign up with your work email and a password of at least 10 characters. Every new account starts on the Trial plan: 10 generations per month, one Brand Kit, and every format. No card is required.
2. Set up your Brand Kit
Open Brand Kit → New Brand Kit and enter the dealership details once:
- dealership name and location (city and state),
- phone and website (optional, used where a format has room for them),
- tone of voice,
- the call to action you want in your ads,
- the disclaimers that must appear verbatim.
The generator reads these on every run, so the whole team publishes in one voice. See Brand Kit for what each field does.
3. Generate
Open Generate and describe one vehicle and one offer:
- Vehicle: year, make, model, trim, condition, mileage, highlights.
- Offer: price, financing terms, incentives, and when the offer ends.
- Formats: pick the channels you need. Each format counts as one generation.
Only the facts you enter are used. If you leave a field empty, the copy simply will not mention it — the generator never fills gaps with invented features, prices, or availability.
4. Copy and publish
The result page shows every part of every format with its character count against the platform’s recommended limit. Copy what you need into your ad manager, listing site, email tool, or SMS platform.
Every completed generation is saved to History, where you can reopen it, delete it, or run it again with changes.
