Pinterest Ads Automation for Automotive Agencies

Launch, pace and report on Pinterest ads for every dealer you run, from 1 dashboard.

Pick a Playbook, turn on Pinterest and BuyerBridge builds the campaign in the dealer's own ad account. Pinterest sits next to Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat and Reddit, so adding a channel doesn't mean adding a tool.

What Is Pinterest Ads Management Software?

It's a tool that builds, runs and reports on Pinterest campaigns outside of Pinterest Ads Manager. For 1 store, Ads Manager is fine. For 20 stores, it means 20 logins and 20 reports a month.

BuyerBridge is built for automotive agencies and dealer groups. Every dealer's Pinterest account lives in the same place as their other paid channels.

LaunchPlaybooks

Campaigns built from a template, deployed through the Pinterest API.

SyncCatalog

The dealer's inventory feed becomes their Pinterest catalog.

PaceBudgets

Monthly goals per account, with daily budgets adjusted to hit them.

ProveReporting

Pinterest results inside the same client report as every other channel.

How Do You Launch Pinterest Ads in BuyerBridge?

  • Onboard the Pinterest ad account yourself, once per store
  • Pick an inventory or model line Playbook and tick Pinterest
  • Set a daily budget, location and Prospecting or Retargeting

A Carousel group, plus a Performance+ group where Pinterest picks Shopping or Carousel ads.

Tick Meta or Snapchat in the same wizard and the Playbook goes out to them too.

What Do Dealer Ads Look Like on Pinterest?

Promoted pins sit in the same feed as the ideas shoppers save. A tap on Visit site sends them to the dealer.

How Does Dealer Inventory Get Into a Pinterest Catalog?

BuyerBridge pulls the dealer's feed from their inventory provider and builds the Pinterest catalog from it. We work with 90+ feed providers.

Sold cars drop out and new arrivals show up without a rebuild. Inventory ads, product groups and catalog setup have their own page.
