It seems that Presto Reviews has been working very hard with Google on behalf of dealers. What Presto Reviews has been working on is dispelling many of the myths and misunderstandings about what Google wants, expects and will do with reviews about auto dealerships.
The Google Places team not only has been extremely open about this process when discussing it with Presto Reviews they have gone on record to definitively state that they do not block ip addresses of dealers who…

I travel 5 days a week visiting dealers throughout Central and Northeast Florida. The one consistant question I get at least twice a day is, "Do you know any salespeople looking to work?"

Sweepstakes, contests, and giveaways have become increasingly popular among dealerships. These promotions can be a great way to get word out about your company, increase your social media presence and develop leads. However, entry into a poorly considered sweepstakes or contest can be a trap for the unwary dealer. These promotions are governed by a variety of federal and state laws as well as social networking sites’ terms of service. The FTC receives…
