Facebook & Instagram Integration for Car Dealers
Vehiso generates a Meta vehicle catalog feed of your stock, so you can run automotive inventory ads on Facebook and Instagram that show your live stock and send buyers to the car's page on your own website.
Hundreds of dealer websites built and counting
Catalog feed switched on
Price, year, mileage and photos included
Each car links to your website
Your stock, in ads on Facebook and Instagram
Meta's automotive inventory ads show buyers cars from a dealer's vehicle catalog. Keeping that catalog up to date by hand means re-entering every car, and every price change, somewhere else. Vehiso builds the catalog feed from the stock list you already keep, so the cars in your ads are the cars you actually have.
Switch the channel on in Vehiso and you get a feed URL. Add it to a Vehicles catalog in Meta Commerce Manager on a scheduled fetch, for example daily, and Meta picks up your stock from then on. Each car in the feed links to its page on your Vehiso website, so the people who click land on your site, not someone else's.
This is for catalog and automotive inventory ads, not free Facebook Marketplace listings: Meta stopped partner vehicle listings on Marketplace in 2021. The ads themselves are run in your own Meta ads account, and ad spend is paid by you directly to Meta.
Why dealers connect Facebook & Instagram to their stock
Inventory ads are only as good as the catalog behind them. Building it from your stock list keeps it accurate without extra admin.
One stock list, one more channel
The same stock record that powers your website and your other channels feeds your Meta catalog, so there is no second list to keep up to date.
Ads that link to your own website
Every car in the feed links to its page on your Vehiso website, so buyers who click see your full ad, your finance options and your contact details.
Nothing fails silently
Cars Meta would refuse are held back and shown as needing attention, with the reason, so you know which ones are missing from your catalog and why.
Managed with your other channels
Facebook & Instagram appears alongside AutoTrader, CarGurus, Motors and your other channels in Vehiso, with the same per-car status and filters.
What the feed sends, and what it holds back
The Facebook & Instagram integration is included in every paid Vehiso plan, with nothing extra to buy from Vehiso.
A Meta vehicle catalog feed
Vehiso generates a vehicle catalog feed of your stock at a URL you add to Meta Commerce Manager.
Price, year and mileage
Each car's price, year and mileage come straight from your stock record, so the ad shows what your website shows.
Photos
The photos you upload for a car in Vehiso go into the feed, so your ads use the same images as your website.
A link to your website
Every car links to its page on your Vehiso website, which is where buyers land when they click an ad.
Cars Meta would refuse are held back
A car with no price, year, mileage or photo, or one that is not on your website, is kept out of the feed and shown as needing attention with the reason.
Per-car control
Switch Facebook & Instagram on or off for each car, singly or in bulk, and filter your stock list to see what is in the feed.
