November 22, 2019 (2019.11.2) – BuyerBridge

Highlights

The BuyerBridge dashboard is now officially out of beta! To mark this occasion we have updated the logo shown within the UI. While we are “rubber stamping” all existing screens you will notice that new screens may now have the “BETA” tag along with a disclaimer shown on the first view ensuring that users are aware of the screen and its contents not being fully ready for production. In these cases we welcome your feedback, as always, and will update our release notes once we have taken the screen out of beta.
The dashboard navigation has been completely redesigned making it easier to navigate between screens and access the dealer you’re currently working on. This update is based on feedback from numerous users seeking a way to quickly jump back to the, now central, dealer dashboard.
The Facebook Advertising report has been released within the dashboard to all resellers (in beta status). Within this screen you can quickly access stats across any campaigns within your Facebook ad account. We’ve focused these screens on what matters to an automotive Facebook advertiser so we think you’ll find them much easier to use than Facebook’s own reports! ;)

We are working diligently on creating a better automotive catalog and pixel through our EventFlow product. Over the coming weeks we will be releasing numerous enhancements that will massively differentiate automotive advertisers running the BuyerBridge EventFlow product. More to come here!
We continue to expand and tune our monitoring system to cover all critical aspects of BuyerBridge. These data points are being closely watched by our account and support teams internally but we look forward to releasing the data into our dashboard in the coming weeks for better coverage and transparency in showing all of the many facets of the BuyerBridge ecosystem.
Interstitials are heavy in production and looking awesome! We’re nearing our pilot phase and anticipate a full release in December -- pending pilot results.
We are planning on rolling out the custom conversion tracking system to currently managed accounts over the coming weeks (at the moment it only applies them to new dealers). Keep an eye on our release notes for updates here.

All newly onboarded dealers will be deployed with a new version of our ViewContent script to help Facebook’s matching algorithm in identifying a user’s purchasing profile. We will be applying this update to existing dealers in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
We have made major updates to our leads tracking script which should improve our ability to capture more click to call events which tends to be one of the highest drivers of web leads.
You can now export all pages of inventory from the inventory screen! Be mindful that it can take some time to export large quantities of inventory (e.g. 1000+ vehicles).

While trying to mitigate an issue with certain dealer names not being recognized in our marketplace stat collection process we made an update that caused the way we receive the stats from Facebook to be disjointed causing metrics to display lower numbers than actual results. This started around 11/8 so we have applied a fix that aims to restore all data back to 11/8 and are actively monitoring/comparing metrics to ensure consistency with what we retrieve from Facebook.
The leads screen will now export all pages of data. Previously it was only exporting the first page.
A previous update had broken resellers’ ability to select existing ad accounts and pixels during onboarding. This issue is now resolved!
We’ve made a number of overall stylistic improvements to the dashboard to ensure it accommodates various screen sizes.

We continue to see a handful of Marketplace listings flagged for their content with no path to remediate from Facebook. The Facebook Marketplace team has indicated that they have been diligently working to fix this issue. We are awaiting notice from them on an official process for remediation when the situation arises in the future.
