In marketing its widely accepted that a Google Business Profile is crucial to be found when consumers are searching for a business or service yet it’s crazy to imagine but only a small fraction of the millions of US businesses use their Google Business Profile? On the latest episode of The First Pencil with Kathy and Mike digital marketing strategist and wicked awesome car gal Kathi Kruse and I catch up with Craig Darling of Darling Local and he’s on a mission to change that!

I enjoy being a Google Local Guide and I just received an email that says I'm in the top 10% of contributors in the Riverside-San Bernardino area. It's fun to post pictures and write reviews but the best part is knowing my pics and efforts are helping local businesses, the images and reviews I posted last year alone helped 278 locations that are mostly local businesses! Pictures on GoogleMapsReviews have been viewed over 100 million times and that helps increase the visibility of the business which is an added value for the companies I work with as a vendor in the automotive space. Many of the dealer pics I have shared have 3 to 5 million views!
Any other Google Local Guides out there? Lets connect :) Automotive Sales Manager and F&I Managers, if you have to re-open a deal for whatever reason and your current DMS creates a new deal number when you reclose it we need to talk! Don't create more work cleaning up deals for your business office, call me so I can tell you about DealerBuilt!
Service Managers!! If your current system restricts your team to only 12 job lines on a repair order or requires you have a customer pay line, even if it is zero in order to close an RO we need to talk! If you or your GM/Principal are headed to Dallas in a few weeks for the NADA Show then click the link to book time with Mike theCarGuy and learn more about DealerBuilt, the DMS built by a dealer in a dealership for car dealers! Lets Meet At NADA! |
