    Google Reviews from Smartphones

    Brian, On iPhones I believe that they have to use the Google "Local" app to leave reviews. I do not believe Google has updated their interface for iPhones at this point. James

    Ignore your Manufacturer website(s)? Why??

    Let me clarify. I wasn't talking about the site itself, but rather the url that you suggested using. I believe Toyota stores are only allowed to use their approved dba url. using other urls that do not direct back to the approved site could be a compliance issue. Rules like these, are just...

    Ignore your Manufacturer website(s)? Why??

    this could be a compliance violation with most OEM's (especially Toyota), and could lead to the loss of marketing money or other benefits.

    Google Reviews Disappeared!?!?!? What's the deal?

    Sorry Yago, but I was stating what some of the changes were. Google was previously doing this by a combination of algorithm and manual check, but changed the algorithm to do this more effectively. Remember, these reviews MAY come back once they are verified (this can be done by consumer using...

    Google Reviews Disappeared!?!?!? What's the deal?

    kcar is correct. If the review is left from a new account and that account is not used again or often, the review is flagged (potentially removed). This is typically not an issue if your customer is using an Android device. I also believe that Google is comparing review scores on G+L to other...

    QR Codes - In or Out?

    Bill, It sounds like you are looking for a QR Code solution for your inventory. You can definitely do it by yourself if you wish. You will need a specialty printer, ink, specialty stickers, QR Code generator (easiest part), and time. Time is the big one, you will manually have to create each...

    QR Codes - In or Out?

    Karen Ann, I could be completely wrong, but IMHO it looks like you missed the most important step in launching a QR Code campaign. It appears that you don't have a mobile strategy. Sending consumers to inventory on a desktop site from a QR Code defeats the purpose. Before spending...

    QR Codes - In or Out?

    In Japan both NFC and QR are commonly used everywhere often at the same time. One for info (QR), and one for purchase (NFC). I think we will see QR adoption continue to grow rapidly in 2011 and NFC start to appear more in 2012-2013. We are seeing QR Codes being used by most major...

    QR Codes - In or Out?

    Interesting test. Our results over the last 16 months have shown the same trend. People do not want to scan QR Codes on a computer screen. But the lift in mobile visits is interesting. Stupid Question, why use YOURLS? You should start to print some off and put them on your cars. This...

    Websitegrader.com and Compete.com

    Jesse, I completely agree with Alex and Joe. The only thing I would add to Joe's comment is that you can increase your Sold/Lead ratio from "1% to 2%" by having stronger conversion tied in with a stronger search strategy. If your competitors have the same VDP problem that you currently have...

    QR Codes - In or Out?

    Kevin, thanks for the plug. Joe, we tried putting QR codes on window stickers for 6 months, but we had a low scan rate. It was hard to scan every time through glass. We moved them to the outside in February and our scan rate went up over 500%. Trust me, if you are going to put the effort...
