Catalystiq

Catalyst IQ builds its business around car dealerships, running a digital marketing operation certified across more than 20 OEM programs. Its work is powered by MarketAI®, a real-time market intelligence engine that feeds pricing and inventory data into campaigns and site content. Beyond automotive, the agency extends similar advertising work to equipment dealers competing for buyers and to home services businesses looking to fill their schedules with local leads.

Services span SEO audits, Google Ads management, and programmatic retargeting alongside website design, landing page design, and frontend development for dealer sites. Conversion tracking and server-side tagging (SGTM) are built into campaigns so advertising spend can be tied back to results, while AI-powered lead capture is paired with SEO and AEO work aimed at both search engines and answer engines. The stated approach combines this advertising, search, and web work into data-driven solutions meant to adjust to a dealership's scale and market conditions.

Automotive News relies on Catalyst IQ for vehicle price and inventory insights, a signal of the data infrastructure underpinning the MarketAI platform. The agency is backed by Advance, one of the largest privately-held media companies in the U.S., which holds investments across media, entertainment, communications, technology, and education. That backing situates Catalyst IQ within a larger media and technology portfolio rather than as a standalone shop, giving its dealer-focused advertising and web work access to broader industry resources.
