The Four Searches You Must Check Constantly for Your Reputation

April 13, 2014
Review Sites

It’s very common for businesses to hear about the reviews they received on this site or that and decide that they must get better reviews on that site. If someone has 300 reviews with a 4.9-star rating on Dealer Rater and we have 1 review with a 2-star rating on CitySearch, they might instantly jump on the latter one to try to get more reviews.

The Right Way to Post Reviews on Social Media

Review Sites, Social Media

There is an amazing synergy that is possible between social media and review sites like Yelp, Dealer Rater, and Edmunds. Unfortunately, the majority of dealers and even vendors are missing out on that potential because they’re using the wrong tools.

Most review sites make it really easy to share reviews on Facebook and other social media sites. For Twitter and Google+, this is fine. With Facebook, dealers face algorithmic challenges when they post with these tools directly. The algorithm simply does not like links posted through these sites. In essence, doing so makes your posts invisible.
