Why reviews matter for car dealerships
- You get found on them. Most car dealerships are discovered through Google and the review sites that matter in your space: your rating and review count decide who clicks.
- They decide who trusts you. A recent, well-handled set of reviews converts browsers into customers; a stale or unanswered one sends them to a competitor.
- They're full of signal. The patterns in your reviews tell you exactly what to fix (if you can see them).
The review challenges car dealerships face
"He never bought the car. He still left the review scaring off real buyers."
