"Because of the data availability that Adverity has made possible, we are now able to calculate true return on ad spend, not in the ad platform, but through the actual business. And the potential of this is enormous."

Adverity's impact
Adverity enabled the team at Cars.com to automate data processes, shrinking the 160 weekly hours managing their data to just five. They refocused their efforts on key metrics and for the first time ever, the team was able to calculate their true return on ad spend (ROAS).
They also discovered the keywords that indicated whether a customer would buy a car at a certain price. This provided insight for Cars.com to estimate the value they delivered to car dealers, per lead. Understanding this value, in combination with ROAS, meant the team could see the precise impact from their marketing efforts.
Now, they were in a much better position to confidently make decisions that would positively impact revenue, growth, and continued innovation—a huge win for Cars.com.
