While you cannot predict inventory, you can take action to build your online reputation.  
  • 86% of car buyers say online reviews helped them select a dealership. 
  • 93% of people are influenced by online reviews 

A good online reputation is a competitive advantage when attracting customers to your dealership, and it can help you improve your SEO and search rankings. Reviews are the fasted growing factor in local search rankings and the highest-rated businesses show first. However, it is not just star rating that Google considers, it is also the number of reviews you have and how many of those reviews have been responded to by your dealership.

Managing Your Reputation 

The best way to keep a healthy and thriving online reputation is to optimize and manage your profile on review sites and solicit reviews from your service and sales customers. There are a lot of popular sites for auto dealers that need to be verified and managed including: 

  • Google My Business 
  • Yelp 
  • Facebook 
  • Cars.com 
  • Edmunds.com 
  • Dealer Rater 
  • CarGurus  

With multiple review sites to monitor it can be challenging to keep up and respond to comments in addition to the day-to-day management of your dealer. By working with a reputation management vendor, like L2TMedia, you no longer must worry about tracking all the review sites or managing the responses to your reviews.
