Frequently Asked Questions

How do car dealerships get more reviews?

At vehicle delivery, take a photo of the happy customer with their new car and send a review request via text within 24 hours. For service departments, send requests after pickup. Make the review link one click away.

What makes a great automotive review?

Mentions of fair pricing, no-pressure sales, honest communication, quality of work, and customer service. Reviews that say 'I was skeptical but...' and then describe a positive experience are especially powerful.

How important are Google reviews for auto businesses?

Critical. The vast majority of car buyers research online before visiting a dealership. Businesses with many positive Google reviews and high ratings consistently attract more leads than those with few reviews.
