Kamloops dealers serving a large regional trade area.

The BC Reality

BC Dealers Face a Harder Market

The Lower Mainland is the most expensive automotive advertising market in Canada. You're competing against dealers with deep pockets, aggressive OEM co-op programs, and digital-first buyers who research for weeks before visiting.

FAQ

Questions from BC Dealers

The most common questions we get from franchise dealers in British Columbia.

Do you work with franchise dealers across BC or only Greater Vancouver?

We work with franchise dealers across British Columbia — Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Victoria, Kelowna, Prince George, and Kamloops. Our work is platform-based and remote-first, so geography doesn't limit what we can do for your store.

What makes Dealer Ignition different from other BC marketing agencies?

We're exclusively automotive. We don't market restaurants, SaaS companies, or retail brands — just franchise dealerships. Every strategy, ad campaign, and AI tool is built around how BC consumers research and buy vehicles. That focus means we don't need to learn your business from scratch.

Is Diablo AI available for BC dealers?

Yes. Diablo AI is built by the same team as Dealer Ignition. BC dealers can access Speed to Lead, Lost Lead Recovery, AI Private Sale Events, and AI Web Chat on flat monthly fees — starting at $499/month CAD. CASL-compliant by default.

How quickly can you get a BC dealer's marketing up and running?

Advertising campaigns typically go live within 5–7 business days of signing. Diablo AI features are operational within 24–48 hours for Growth-tier and above. We don't have an onboarding process that takes weeks.

Do you charge commission on advertising spend?

No. Dealer Ignition charges a flat management fee. Your ad budget goes 100% to the platforms — zero is taken as a commission on spend. This is standard for all BC dealers we work with.
