Before You Start
- The account must be automotive. Other verticals can't add Market Intelligence.
- It costs $150 per month per account, the same on every partner tier, billed monthly. If your agency has prorated billing, the first month is charged from the day it's added.
- You need an agency login. Dealer logins can't add products.
How to Add Market Intelligence
- Pick the account.
- Open Channel Setup, or click Market Intelligence in the left menu.
- Choose Market Intelligence.
- Review the price shown ($150.00 / month per account).
- Tick I agree to the increased fees.
- Click Continue.
Onboarding then walks you through three setup steps and a Review step. If you leave before you finish, opening Market Intelligence takes you back into setup.
Step 1: Market Data Match
There's nothing to fill in. BuyerBridge matches the store to its record in the website-listings data. The match starts as soon as Market Intelligence is added and usually takes a few seconds.
- Matched: the step shows the store's matched name, city and state. Click Continue.
- Not matched: the step says our team has been notified and will match the store by hand, usually the same day. Click Continue and finish the other steps. Pages and reports fill in once the store is matched.
- Taking longer than usual: the match keeps running in the background. Click Check again, or carry on.
Step 2: Competitors
This step is titled Competitor Rooftops. Pick the stores the dealership actually competes with. You need at least one to finish the step.

Step 3: Focus Vehicles
Pick up to three vehicles to report on. One is enough to finish the step.

Review and Finish
The Review step says Onboarding Complete!. Click Complete Onboarding and BuyerBridge opens the account's Market Intelligence Overview. Listing data refreshes early every morning.
Troubleshooting
- Market Intelligence isn't offered in Channel Setup. The account isn't automotive.
- Pages are empty after setup. The store isn't matched yet. See Step 1. If pages are still empty the next business day, contact support.
- The price isn't shown. No price is set for your agency yet. You can still continue. Contact support to confirm the price.
