ChatGPT advertising for Tri-Cities car dealerships
Car shoppers in Tri-Cities are already asking ChatGPT what to buy. Almost no local dealership is in those answers yet. Here is what the Tri-Cities market looks like from the inside, with live numbers from our marketplace.
The Tri-Cities market right now
Our consumer marketplace, CarChat, refreshes inventory from Tri-Cities-area dealer websites automatically, so these are live counts rather than estimates. The most-listed makes in the market today:
Every one of those 7,011 vehicles is competing for the same shoppers on the same listing sites. Almost none of them appear inside ChatGPT's answers, because almost no Tri-Cities dealership is advertising there yet.
Why that gap matters: ChatGPT ads are sold by auction, and an auction with no local bidders is the cheapest attention in automotive. The first Tri-Cities stores in will own the answers shoppers see, at early-mover prices. Our cost breakdown covers the mechanics.
