Most Australian car dealers advertise across multiple platforms. A single vehicle might be listed on carsales.com.au, shared on Facebook Marketplace, posted on Gumtree, and promoted through CarExpert.
But here's the problem: most dealerships have no clear idea which channel actually generated the buyer.
