Posts

Not sure what type of Post you should make? Here are just a couple of our ideas:

• Post vehicles with an image, description, and link.
• Post about a sales event with a date and time, then add a link to an events page.
• Post about local or holiday events.

Manage Reviews

Reviews are the most important aspect of any business today. 

How important? 86% of consumers read online reviews for local businesses, and 91% of consumers trust that review over a personal recommendation. Responding to reviews is critical today more than ever, with 89% of consumers reading them.

Unlike Yelp, Google allows you to ethically ask customers for reviews. Did you know that 46% of consumers leave a local business review when asked — with only 66% having been asked for their feedback? Build trust by giving potential customers access reviews before they visit your website or step on your lot.

Question and Answers

Answer questions your customers may have about you or your dealership. You can even up-vote questions to get the best ones in front of the public. Make sure you watch and answer quickly! Any one can answer a question asked about your business, so stay on top by providing correct and tailored responses.

Photos and Videos

Adding photos and videos is a great way to humanize your business and get a "behind the scenes" look at what your company is all about. As a dealer, you can simply snap a photo or video with a happy customer or during an event, and upload it to your account.
