3 Main Reasons Why Dealerships Should Use Foursquare

Hey Nathan - One strategy we use for our clients right now is building links to not only their own site but to 3rd party sites such as Yelp and Foursquare. The IDEAL situation for any dealer would be to have multiple references to its website/business info on the same search result. Imagine if you could have your yelp, foursquare, merchantcircle, your own website, and other websites you advertise on on the same search for a search like "denver co honda dealer".

Oh I totally agree Dev. I just don't see a huge value from Foursquare. I've been using it for month and it's become far more tedious then fun to use. Perhaps I'm not spending enough time adding comments and shout outs... whatever the case it's not my focus.
 

✨ AI Highlights

The thread discusses whether Foursquare, a location-based check-in app, is worthwhile for car dealerships, with the original poster advocating for it as a customer loyalty tool while subsequent replies reveal significant practical obstacles—including difficulty getting dealership listings verified and a small Foursquare team struggling with backlog. The consensus that emerges is skeptical: while some see potential in location-based deals and specials, most participants argue that dealerships should prioritize mastering established platforms like Facebook and Yelp before investing in unproven location services, and several question whether Foursquare's gaming mechanics (mayorships, badges) actually drive meaningful automotive sales.
