What in the Heck is Going On With my Dealer.com sites in Google SRP's?????

Someone seems to have wised-up and have gone with a Canadian (makes sense to support your own country) group = quality auto website provider.

https://www.lexusoflondon.com -> https://www.edealer.ca (unless they are owned by dealer.com [doubtful] having operations in Burlington, VT).

They switched to eDealer, who are not owned by Dealer.com
I still get downtime alerts almost weekly, but they're typically pretty brief.
There was a ~3 hour inventory outage last week that resulted in no cars being listed for all clients.

Everyone has their downtime, I just judge based on how well they handle it and what the recur rate is.

Rick Buffkin reported that his Dealer.com (DDC) website is displaying incorrect page titles and meta descriptions in Google search results—showing other dealerships' names and locations instead of his own—and discovered the issue affects multiple other DDC clients as well. The thread explores whether this is a database corruption, security breach, or technical glitch, with community members advising escalation and noting that while some DDC sites appear unaffected, others show the same problem. The key takeaway is that this appears to be a widespread Dealer.com platform issue requiring urgent attention from their technical team, with uncertainty about how long the problem has persisted and what impact it may have on search rankings and ad quality scores.
