Common Questions from Automotive Brands
Everything you need to know before launching
Can we filter creators by specific automotive niches (luxury, performance, EVs)?
Yes! Filter by automotive focus including luxury vehicles, performance/racing, electric vehicles, classic cars, off-road/trucks, motorcycles, car detailing, and automotive lifestyle. Each creator profile shows their specialty, vehicle ownership, and audience demographics.
How do you verify automotive creators actually own or have access to vehicles?
Creators must provide proof of vehicle ownership/access through registration documents, VIN verification, and consistent vehicle content history. We manually review portfolios to ensure authentic automotive expertise. Creators who misrepresent vehicle access are permanently banned.
How do we track sales from automotive content?
Each creator gets unique tracking links and promo codes. Our dashboard integrates with e-commerce platforms and dealership systems to show clicks, inquiries, test drive bookings, purchases, and ROAS by creator. You can see which vehicle types and product categories drive the most conversions.
How quickly can we launch an automotive campaign?
From campaign brief to content going live: 7-14 days on average. For vehicle launches, we recommend posting 6-8 weeks in advance. Timeline includes: campaign posting (Day 1), creator selection (Days 2-3), vehicle access arrangement (Days 3-7), content creation (Days 7-12), and publication (Days 12-14).
