What FordRatings does
Knowing the score is the start. The work is turning it into fewer lost shoppers. This is the sequence every engagement runs.
Find the reputation damage on the public record for Celebrity Ford Of Toms River: low-star exposure, the complaint themes that repeat, where nearby stores win the comparison, and the reviews nobody answered.
Rank what matters most. Each low-star review is scored on six factors so the highest-impact reviews, the repeat themes and the urgent risks come first, not the loudest.
FordRatings supports the work that follows: platform policy challenges where a review qualifies for one, a response standard for the rest, and a named owner for each recurring issue. Platforms decide challenge outcomes, so nothing here promises a removal.
Track rating and rank movement, new low-star exposure, response discipline, competitor movement and sentiment shifts against a locked monthly capture that never changes after the fact.
Show measurable before-and-after progress: rating, national and local rank, negative exposure, response behavior and market position, with the underlying evidence attached.
Unlocking requires dealership verification. A person confirms affiliation, not a bot.
