Nobody films the invoice

The car buyer arrives suspicious. What converts is the part the showroom talks around: the price, the contents, the fault you already know about.

A suspicious buyer is the opening

A car is a considered purchase, and the buyer arrives expecting to be handled. That expectation is the opening. Almost every dealer films the same glossy walkaround; almost none will state a price, list what a service includes, or name a known fault on a model they stock. Do one of those and you are alone in the category.

Covered

Nobody is covering this

What the scores look like here

Purchase relevance runs high on nearly every honest topic, because the viewer already owns a car or wants one. Velocity matters least: a video on service pricing is as useful in March as in October. Production feasibility is usually the easy score, since the subject is already sitting on the lift.

  • Purchase relevance is the score to read first.
  • Velocity is the score to ignore. Nothing here expires.
  • Seasonal topics (tyres, air conditioning, inspection) come back every year, and the calendar is where you hold them until the right week.
  • Facebook and YouTube outscore TikTok for a local buyer.

What you actually get

A coverage map against the 3 dealers and garages you actually lose customers to.

Hooks that answer the question your category talks around.

Seasonal topics you place in the calendar yourself, instead of catching them late.

Facebook and YouTube scored for a local, older-skewing audience.

A worked example

What a major service actually includes

YouTube

Velocity is the lowest of the five and it does not matter. People type this question into a search bar every month of the year. Purchase relevance is 9.4 because whoever asks it is deciding where to book. The shoot costs one phone and one lift.

Hook

“A major service here is €780. I am going to show you every line in it and what each one is for.”

Questions people actually ask

Should a dealership be on TikTok?

Sometimes. For a local buyer, Facebook and YouTube usually score higher, and the audience-fit score says so instead of pushing you at the newest network.

Is showing prices really a good idea?

In this category it is the most reliable gap there is, because so few competitors will do it. The coverage map tells you whether that holds in your market before you commit.

What about used-car stock that changes weekly?

Stock posts are inventory, not content. Put those in the calendar and keep the trend list for the videos that build trust.

Can it handle several dealerships?

Yes, as separate brands with separate profiles. Momentum carries as many as you run; a larger group wants Horizon for the strategist.
