Frequently Asked Questions

divider-boats

How does the product work?

We leverage audience data (people who are actively searching to purchase a boat) and target them with our client’s inventory ads through our proprietary ad platform on over 9,000 premium websites.

 

How is BoatClicks different than other products?

BoatClicks leverages our own proprietary ad platform (Demand Side Platform and Data Management Platform) which gives us the ability to buy digital ad inventory effectively – bid on digital media more efficiently with a higher degree of precision. We’ve invested in building a custom DSP to gain greater control, cost efficiency, and flexibility for our advertising clients.

Audience Intelligence – We leverage multiple sources of audience data to target consumers who are in-market for a boat as recently as today. Our platform uses real-time audience data to identify shoppers actively searching for a specific piece of inventory. With insights into search behaviors, interests, and purchase intent, we target customers who are ready to buy by using proprietary data models.

One of the main differences between ad-serving platforms and DSPs is the role they play in the programmatic media buying process. An ad serving platform acts as a central hub for storing and delivering ads, while a DSP acts as a tool for finding and buying ads. We DO NOT buy keywords, so if a deaker is currently leveraging pay per click (SEM) marketing, there will be no overlap.

Ad Platform Integration – BoatClicks leverages our custom ad-platform (DSP) to give your campaigns unparalleled reach and precision. Our DSP approach ensures optimal placement on the most relevant websites. With access to a network of over 9,000 trusted and high-traffic websites, your ads are showcased in environments that drive engagement and conversions.

On-going Performance Optimization – Our system and team continuously monitor and adjust campaigns for maximum ROI. With detailed analytics and reporting, you’ll know exactly how your ads are performing.

 

Why should every Boar deaker utilize BoatClicks in their marketing strategy?

Boat dealers that want to win the online shopper leverage PPC, social media and SEO. Each of these tactics can be an important part of an online strategy, but each have limitations and challenges. For example, PPC campaigns are expensive, Social media only targets people that are using specific platforms and can be expensive as well. Search Engine Optimization is effective, but costscan also be expensive and takes a long time to outrank the websites currently holding the top three positions

BoatClicks will increase the visibility of your dealer and website, so you will attract more clients to your site. Unlike the broad, unfocused reach of a billboard, which does have value, BoatClicks empowers you to target exactly the types of clients you want, people consuming inventory that you want to win on the internet. One of these clients might be your next multimillion-dollar case.

BoatClicks isn’t just another marketing tool—it’s a cutting-edge targeting solution designed to help boat dealers dominate their market. By combining AI-powered targeting and real-time bidding, BoatClicks delivers higher-quality shoppers and unmatched marketing efficiency.

 

What do you need for setting up a BoatClicks account?

New accounts need to be logged into the iHeart dashboard. We need to have our Google Tag Manager (GTM) placed on the website. We need to have editor access to their Google Analytics to set up reporting.

 

What is the average set-up time for a new account?

Set up time is 7 business days. The best way to reduce set-up time is to include as much information in the “notes” section as possible.

 

How much time does it take to change the landing page?

There is up to a 3-day turnaround time for a change in landing page implementation.

 

Can you just add BoatClicks tags to their current GTM?

No, when configuring BoatClicks, the program utilizes a Google Tag Manager container (GTM) to be able to capture audience specific performance on your website and to optimize the overall marketing approach. For continuous optimization, BoatClicks requires complete control over our GTM rather than adding tags to an existing GTM container. This also provides additional advantages: Data Security & Control: A separate GTM container ensures that BoatClicks only has access to our tags and triggers required for the program and prevents unauthorized changes to your critical tracking elements.

Improved Performance & Load Time: A dedicated GTM for BoatClicks ensures that additional tracking tags do not take priority over your primary GTM container’s tags, improving website performance. 

Flexibility for Testing & Optimization: BoatClicks requires management of our tags to test new optimization strategies/techniques and other marketing tactics without interfering with the core analytics setup. This allows for streamlining of any A/B testing and campaign adjustments.

By implementing a separate GTM for BoatClicks, your firms maintain greater control, security, and efficiency of their own GTM and allows BoatClicks to maintain our continuous optimization strategy, enhancing the overall performance of the program.

 

Who provides the creative for BoatClicks?

If the firm has an agency that is currently doing their creative, they can provide the ads. If not, the BoatClicks team can create the ads. It’s helpful if the dealer can provide their logo, colors, catch phrases or any content for the ads.

Here are the BoatClicks Creative Guidelines:

Required Materials
1. Logo: Provide a high-quality logo in PNG or JPG format.
2. Landing Page: Provide the desired URL for LawClicks ads to direct visitors to.
3. Headers: Provide one or two main headers that effectively communicate your message.
4. Sub-headers: Provide one or two sub-headers to support the main header and add more context.
5. Call to Action (CTA): Choose a clear and concise CTA (ex: “Free Consultation” or “Call Now”).
6. Design: We ask you to please select the desired complexity of the creative (1 for minimalistic, 5 for
detailed).

Defaults for Missing Content
If the headers, sub-headers, or CTA are not supplied, our team will create them for you based on your
site’s general message. If no landing page is specified, we will default to the home page.

Revisions Policy
1. Creative Revisions: You are allowed up to two revisions for changes related to font size, font type, and
overall ad design and composition.
2. Impact on Timeline: Each ad edit will add approximately 2-3 days to the onboarding process.

For the best performance, we recommend changing the creatives out once per quarter. If new creatives
are desired, please be sure to send all assets before the next quarter to operations@aimyes.com
