Hey [USER=11011]@Colin Rodger[/USER], good question.


Here are the results from the Widewail database:


DealerRater - 4.7

Google - 4.6

CarFax - 4.6

Cars.com - 4.5

Facebook - 4.4

CarGurus - 4.2

Yelp - 3.3


Solid performance from DealerRater and Google. It's worth noting a small percentage (0.2%) of reviews were logged on CarFax, nonetheless, they performed well.


Yelp can be a challenge because they do no allow review solicitation - it's human nature for unhappy customers to be more motivated to leave a review. Asking all of your dealership's customers if they would be willing to leave a review helps encourage participation from happy customers.
