I finally compared programmatic buying against direct placements for a local campaign

Spent 6 months running programmatic ads for a car dealership in Columbus and thought I was killing it. Decided to test a few direct placements with local news sites and radio streams for the same budget of $3,000. The direct stuff brought in 12 actual test drive bookings while programmatic gave me 2. Has anyone else seen a bigger gap like that between these two approaches?

Stick with direct placements for local deals. Programmatic sucks for small town stuff.

12 real test drives vs 2 is wild dude. Local direct placements just hit different.
