Burlington, Vermont, March 28, 2016 – The online automotive retailing experience just got a powerful boost with the integration of Dealer.com’s Advertising solution and rich data sets from Autotrader® and Kelley Blue Book®. As part of Cox Automotive™, the three leading brands have teamed to deliver Audience Targeting through Dealer.com®, giving dealers unprecedented ability to reach high-quality, in-market car shoppers.
 
With Dealer.com Audience Targeting, dealers can reach the combined 38 million unique website visitors that Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book see each month, and direct them back to their dealership website through Dealer.com’s industry-leading machine learning and real-time bidding automation. This combination of technologies and audience data is the most powerful way to reach shoppers on their path to purchase.
