    Kubota Tractor Corporation, a heavy equipment manufacturer, partners with Goodway to run its digital advertising co-op program. Over 400 dealer locations participate, and each dealership has unique goals, including Farmbelt Kubota in rural Mississippi. Farmbelt’s always-on paid search campaign serves as the primary lead driver for its owner, and he looked to drive an even higher ROI at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
