What Automo covers beyond market analytics
Complete inventory and operations management
Automo manages your full operation — inventory from acquisition to sale, deal writing, invoicing, CRM, and analytics. Carbly is a pricing research tool, not a DMS.
Built-in inventory pricing tools
Automo includes inventory aging alerts and pricing management tools as part of your dashboard. Track how long vehicles have been on your lot and adjust pricing based on days-on-lot and market performance.
Dealer website with programmatic SEO
Automo includes a professional dealer website with Hypersonic and Ultrasonic plans generating automatic SEO pages for every make, model, and location in your inventory — organic traffic without ad spend.
AI vehicle descriptions and blog writing
Automo Hypersonic and Ultrasonic plans include AI that writes vehicle descriptions and weekly SEO blog posts for your website — both of which help you rank and convert more buyers.
Facebook Marketplace and social posting
Automo includes built-in tools for Facebook Marketplace posting, Facebook social posting, and Instagram posting — so you reach buyers on the channels where they actually shop.
The two can work alongside each other
You can use Carbly for acquisition market research while using Automo as your DMS. They serve different purposes and are not mutually exclusive.
