University Ford Durham joined our reputation management program (TrueReview) and generated 100+ more reviews, increasing their overall rating in just 5 months.
University Ford Durham joined Sokal’s reputation management platform, TrueReview, at the beginning of 2021. We focused on Google and Facebook reviews, since those are the primary platforms customers use when researching reviews. TrueReview uses an automated process that takes the previous day’s sold report directly from the CRM and sends out a review request from our platform directly to the customer in both text and email formats.
This makes it quick and easy for the customer to leave a “star” review, with the option to leave written feedback too. TrueReview also features a negative review filter that pushes a customer who had a negative experience to send a direct message to the manager rather than leaving a negative review on the review sites, which protects their average rating from decreasing.
On January 22, 2021, University Ford Durham had 722 Google reviews, with an average rating of 4.1 stars on Google, and 4.2 stars on Facebook. On April 9, 2021, after starting TrueReview by Sokal, University Ford Durham saw an increase to 828 Google reviews, and an average rating of 4.2 stars on Google, and 5 stars on Facebook.
On October 21, 2021, after several more months of enrollment with TrueReview, University Ford Durham increased to 973 Google reviews and maintained their average rating of 4.2 stars on Google, and 5 stars on Facebook.
