“Traditionally speaking, car dealerships don’t have the best reputation. One of the ways we strive to break those expectations is by always putting the customer first. This means we must be very aware of our customer journey and experience, both negative and positive. Birdeye has been an amazing resource helping us see what we do right, but also what we need to work on.”

Background

O’Brien Auto Group’s top priority is providing exceptional care to their customers. In 2016, they were eager to provide customers with a way to share their positive experiences online — and use those positive testimonials to outshine local competitors. They also knew that every purchase and service was an opportunity to learn more about their customers and continue to grow in the right direction.

Over the last six and a half years, Birdeye has helped O’Brien Auto Group manage their online listings, grow their reputation, and learn more about their customer sentiment.

Putting Reviews on autopilot

Since partnering with Birdeye, O’Brien Auto Group has seen a significant increase in their review count. With over 23,000 5-star reviews and testimonials across their locations, standing out on Google is easier than ever.


Birdeye has made getting new reviews even easier for O’Brien Auto Group with automated review requests. These customized requests are automatically sent after every purchase, which means customers can share feedback on Google, Facebook, and other leading review sites in just a couple of clicks.

Reaching new speeds with automated responses

When it comes to managing an online reputation, generating an impressive number of online reviews is only part of the equation. Managing responses — and negative reviews — was something else O’Brien Auto Group wanted to streamline.


Birdeye’s all-in-one dashboard provides O’Brien Auto Group with an easy way to monitor their reviews. Plus, Birdeye’s review auto-response feature saves O’Brien Auto Group time and allows them to respond to reviews at scale. By responding to every customer review, O’Brien Group is able to show customers they’re listening while maintaining their brand voice across all channels. These time-saving features have helped O’Brien Auto Group increase their reviews by 770%.

“What I like most about Birdeye is the ability to monitor all our reviews from one location. We have a small marketing team and balancing reviews for 13 different locations is an otherwise daunting task. We can now make sure every customer feels taken care of and have the opportunity to improve negative customer experiences.”
