    Section 02 ยท Search Listening

    Live Search-Behavior Cohorts

    Cohorts built from aggregated Google search behavior at the geographic level โ€” no cookies, no PII. These are the highest-intent signals in the auto stack.

    Make / Model Targeting + Competitor Conquesting

    Search Listening isn't limited to the cohorts below โ€” we can build custom segments around any make, model, or trim (e.g. "2026 RAV4 Hybrid", "F-150 Lightning lease deals") and stand up competitor conquest cohorts that capture households searching a rival OEM or dealer group. Give us the nameplate โ€” we'll deliver the segment ID.

    End-of-Year Sales Event Shoppers

    #19029
    "year end car deals""december truck lease""holiday auto sale"
    Why it works

    Peak purchase intent tied to seasonal OEM incentives. Highest converting window of the year.

    Used EV Shoppers

    #19046
    "used tesla model 3""cpo bolt ev""used ev under 25k"
    Why it works

    Post-tax-credit price sensitivity โ€” a fast-growing conquest pool for both used EVs and new hybrids.

    Hybrid EV Researchers

    #19036
    "rav4 hybrid vs prime""best hybrid suv 2026""phev tax credit"
    Why it works

    Upper-funnel comparison shoppers weighing hybrid vs full EV vs ICE โ€” ideal for OEM education creative.

    Off-Lease Owners

    #19049
    "lease turn in options""buyout my lease""end of lease conquest offer"
    Why it works

    The single strongest conquest signal in auto โ€” a household about to make a new-vehicle decision.

    Service & Repair Seekers

    #19055
    "brake pad replacement near me""check engine light diagnostic""transmission service"
    Why it works

    Fixed-ops revenue plays. Combine with older vehicle ownership + 5-mile geo-fence around dealer service bays.
