Report Highlights - invite vs industry

Methodology

To determine today’s auto industry review benchmarks, we looked at 16,644 car dealerships across the U.S. and analyzed the 1,620,323 new Google reviews in the first half of 2023. Due to insufficient data for the month of January, we focused on the five months of February through June. From this data, we calculated the average review volume and Google star rating for automotive dealerships today. 

We assessed the performance of Widewail’s Invite by studying the Google reviews of Invite clients in the first half of 2023. Then, we compared Invite clients’ performance to 2023 industry benchmarks to determine Invite’s efficacy in generating more and better reviews for automotive dealerships.

A note from Mitch
“Looking back at Invite’s performance since launch, the monthly percentage increase and sustained volume of reviews over the last year and a half has been remarkable. The internal resource efficiency gains have been nothing but impressive.”
