# How to Use Market Intelligence: 101 Guide
## See where a dealer stands on price, turn, and inventory against their local market, and check that ad spend matches what sells.
Market Intelligence compares a dealer's listed inventory with the dealerships around them. Use it to spot units that are sitting, prices that are off the market, and ad spend that isn't going to what sells locally.
**Note:** Market Intelligence is sold through agencies, not to single dealers. Ask your partner manager about access.

### What Is Market Intelligence?
Market Intelligence tracks the vehicles dealerships list on their websites in a dealer's market. It compares the dealer against a saved list of competitors, or against the local TV market (DMA), a 25-mile radius, the state, or the whole country.
It has seven views: the **Overview** plus six tabs. Every view shows the same dealer against the same market, so you can move between them without resetting anything.
**Note:** Market Intelligence is a different tool from MarketAnalyzer, which estimates audience size and reach. See [How to Use the MarketAnalyzer Tool](https://support.buyerbridge.com/knowledge/how-to-use-the-new-marketanalyzer?hsLang=en).
### How to Find Market Intelligence in BuyerBridge
1. Log in to BuyerBridge.
2. Pick the dealer in the account dropdown at the top of the page.
3. In the left menu, under **Account**, select **Market Intelligence**.
The **Overview** opens first. The tab row at the top switches between views:
**Tip:** Press **1** through **7** to jump between tabs. To find a section, model, competitor, or price, use **Search or jump to...** (⌘K) at the top of the left panel.
On narrow screens, some tabs use short labels: **Vs market**, **Movers**, **Rivals**, **Demand**, and **Focus**.
### Before You Start: Add Competitors
Most views compare the dealer against their competitor set. Add the dealer's competitors first, before you open the other tabs or share numbers with the dealer.
**🔗 Read more:** [How to Set Up Competitor Sets in Market Intelligence](https://support.buyerbridge.com/knowledge/market-intelligence-competitor-sets?hsLang=en)
### How the Overview Tab Works
The **Overview** is a one-screen check on the dealer's lot. Start here, then open the tab that explains what you see.
- **Turn efficiency:** how fast the lot sells compared to the market. 100 means market pace. Below 100 is slower.
- **Price vs market:** how far the dealer's average price sits above or below the market.
- **Days on lot:** the dealer's average days on lot next to the market average.
- **Priced to move:** the share of the lot priced within the market range.
Below the numbers, **Needs attention** counts vehicles that are **Overpriced vs market** and **Aging inventory**. **Where you're winning** shows strengths, such as **Deep selection** and **Priced to move**. The **Your lot** panel on the right breaks the lot down by body style and make.
### How to Compare and Filter
The left panel controls what every tab compares.
- **Compared to:** **Competitor list**, **Specific competitors**, **DMA (local TV market)**, **Nearby (25 mi)**, **Statewide**, or **National**.
- **Vehicles:** **All**, **New**, or **Used**, plus year, make, model, and trim. Pick a make first to choose a model.
- **Date window:** on **Problem Movers** and **Demand & Ad Fit** only. With no window set, you see current inventory and its full time on the lot.
The bottom of the left panel shows how fresh the data is, for example **Website listings as of today**. The data refreshes early every morning, seven days a week.
To check what the market asks for any vehicle, click **Price lookup** at the top right of any tab.
### The Other Tabs
- **You vs Market:** the dealer's stock, sales, and prices next to the market's, by make, model, body style, or price tier. [Read more](https://support.buyerbridge.com/knowledge/market-intelligence-you-vs-market?hsLang=en)
- **Pricing:** where the dealer's prices sit against the market, by segment and by vehicle. [Read more](https://support.buyerbridge.com/knowledge/market-intelligence-pricing?hsLang=en)
- **Problem Movers:** configurations that sit longer than at competitors, and why. [Read more](https://support.buyerbridge.com/knowledge/market-intelligence-problem-movers?hsLang=en)
- **Competitors:** the dealer's competitor set and how the dealer ranks against it. [Read more](https://support.buyerbridge.com/knowledge/market-intelligence-competitor-sets?hsLang=en)
- **Demand & Ad Fit:** whether Meta or Google spend is going to what sells locally, with recommended product sets. [Read more](https://support.buyerbridge.com/knowledge/market-intelligence-demand-ad-fit?hsLang=en)
- **Focus Vehicles:** up to three vehicles that each get a page in the dealer's report. [Read more](https://support.buyerbridge.com/knowledge/market-intelligence-focus-vehicles?hsLang=en)
### How to Export Data
Click **Export CSV** on a tab to download its table. The file uses the filters you have set.
**Tip:** Each tab has an **About this data** link that explains how its numbers are calculated.
### Best Practices for Market Intelligence
1. Set the dealer's competitors before your first call with them.
2. Open the **Overview** first, then drill into the tab that explains what you see.
3. Compare gaps and trends, not exact unit counts. Counts come from website listings, not the dealer's sales records.
4. Review focus vehicles each month before reports go out.
#### Next Steps
Start with competitors, then work through the tabs.
