Widewail - Review and Engagement Solution for Dealerships

Trust is the cornerstone of successful business-customer relationships, particularly today with so much transparent product and review information available online. Consumers are more informed and discerning, relying heavily on reviews, testimonials, and social media interactions to make purchasing decisions. Recognizing this shift, Widewail on HeyAuto Business Suite is set to empower dealerships with advanced review management technology and services.

 

The Power of Reviews in Automotive Sales

Reviews have become a crucial component of the customer decision-making process. According to Moz, reviews are the second most important factor in local SEO rankings, even more important than the searcher’s proximity to your dealership​​. With the right reviews, you’ll show up where prospects are looking. Widewail excels in generating and responding to reviews with its comprehensive Trust Marketing Platform, which includes tools for automated review generation, review response managed services, and social media engagement services.

 

Widewail’s Featured Products

  1. Invite: Automated Review Generation

  2. Engage: People-Powered Review Response Managed Services

  3. Invite Video: Video Testimonial Generation

  4. Engage Plus: Social Media Engagement Managed Services

These tools collectively ensure dealerships can capture, distribute, and manage customer feedback effectively, enhancing their online presence and trustworthiness.

 

Invite: Automated Review Generation

Widewail's Invite software is designed to streamline the review generation process. By automating review requests through SMS and email, Invite ensures a high response rate, with SMS boasting a 98% open rate​​. Reach your customers where they are paying attention - SMS. The system is integrated with The Campaign Registry to bypass spam filters, maintaining high deliverability rates for clients.

How It Works:

  • Automated Sequences: Triggers review requests automatically based on predefined events, such as a new sale or service completion.

  • Optimized for Mobile: Simplifies the review submission process, requiring only three clicks from the customer.

  • Department-Specific Reviews: Directs reviews to the appropriate department's Google Business Profile (GBP), sales or service, enhancing the relevance of reviews and improving local SEO.

 

Engage: Managed Review Response Services

Responding to reviews promptly and professionally is critical in building trust and improving SEO. Widewail’s Engage service ensures that every review is addressed within two hours​​. This rapid response not only demonstrates excellent customer service but also helps to lessen the impact of negative reviews by getting the business involved promptly.

Key Features:

  • SEO Optimization: Crafting responses that include relevant keywords to boost search rankings..

  • Negative Review Management: Collaborating with the dealership to draft appropriate responses to negative reviews

  • Mobile Notifications: Keeping the dealership teams informed of new reviews and suggested responses to negative reviews by the Widewail team

 

Invite Video: Capturing Authentic Customer Testimonials

In addition to text reviews, video testimonials offer a powerful way to build credibility. Widewail's Invite Video leverages the same principles as its review generation software but applies them to video content. Customers are prompted to share their experiences on video, which can be used in marketing campaigns.

Benefits:

  • Easy Consent Management: Ensures all video submissions come with marketing consent, simplifying compliance.

  • Centralized Dashboard: Allows dealerships to manage download and repurpose video testimonials easily.

 

Engage Plus: Comprehensive Social Media Management

In today's social media-driven world, maintaining an active and positive presence on platforms like Facebook and Instagram is crucial. Widewail's Engage Plus service manages social media interactions, responds to comments, and moderates user-generated content, ensuring the dealership’s online reputation remains stellar.

Core Functions:

  • Comment Moderation: Handles responses to user posts and comments, including negative interactions.

  • Google Business Profile Q&A Management: Monitors and manages questions and answers on the dealership's GBP, ensuring that potential customers receive accurate and timely information.
