If you want reviews on Google My Business, then your dealership has to follow stringent guidelines. They include not posting reviews about your dealership and competitors, not filtering negative reviews but instead respond to it, and more.

2: Ease the Review Process

If the Google review process is time-consuming or sophisticated, then not many of your customers will write one. Instead tell them that all you need is a rating, a couple of sentences, and a photograph.
