PCG Companies created the public specification to allow automotive dealers to verify marketing reports and claims through Google Analytics, an independent reporting platform. The specification was published in 2016 and now has wide support in the automotive industry.

"Dealers do not always trust the reports that their technology partners provide," said Brian Pasch, Founder of PCG Companies. "CarNow's timely participation in a larger movement for greater transparency and attribution confirms the integrity of their leadership team and product roadmap."
