In-Store Review Platform for Automotive Dealers
The Automotive Advertising Network (AAN) today announced that they will be unveiling groundbreaking in-store review platform at the upcoming 2012 NADA Convention.
One of the defining features of the new AAN consumer review platform is that it makes it possible for dealers to syndicate their consumer reviews across multiple sites with just the click of a button. Now consumer reviews that are written online can be automatically duplicated to the dealer’s main website as well as any additional dealer blog sites on Wordpress, Blogger, Typepad, Ning, etc.
The AAN consumer review tool also gives dealers the ability to create special review pages on their website for sales, parts and service. The new feature is compatible with most vendor websites.
“Dealers now have an option to own their reviews and more importantly influence ZMOT by syndicating them online,” says Ananth Godavari, CEO of the AAN.
Syndication of consumer reviews like the AAN now allows for is incredibly valuable for a dealer’s SEO and reviews in general are a top ZMOT (Zero Moment of Truth) influencer. Owning multiple web assets, like AAN members do, that showcase a dealer’s reviews and ratings, is one of the most effective way to capture a consumer’s attention online.
The new review platform being unveiled at NADA is free to AAN members.

Using these proven SEO strategies, the AAN helps dealers establish high quality, exclusive leads for less money, translating into higher closing ratios and lower costs for the dealers.
