For dealerships

Your Google rating only tells part of the story.

See what a shopper sees about your store before they ever reach your website. FordRatings reads the same public record a shopper does, then scores what the star rating hides.

Find your store, switch the profile to dealer view, and the analysis is waiting. Unlocking the full report requires dealership verification.

Where the network sits

Most Ford stores have room to move. The question is where yours starts.

These are live network figures. Your profile page puts your store against each one.

  • The math is not a mystery

    Derived

    Google divides total star points by review count. Every profile page shows what the rating does if the lowest-star reviews no longer counted, one row at a time, and how many it takes to reach 4.50 and 4.70.

What FordRatings does

From public record to measurable recovery, in five steps.

Knowing the score is the start. The work is turning it into fewer lost shoppers. This is the sequence every engagement runs.

  1. Step 1

    Identify

    Find the reputation damage on the public record for your dealership: low-star exposure, the complaint themes that repeat, where nearby stores win the comparison, and the reviews nobody answered.

  2. Step 2

    Prioritize

    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.

  3. Step 3

    Remediate

    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.

  4. Step 4

    Monitor

    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.

  5. Step 5

    Prove

    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.

How the score is classified

Five classifications, one formula.

Enhanced Scoring is a proprietary weighted model. It starts from the public Google star rating, weights it by how many consumer reviews that rating rests on, and accounts for the volume and pattern of low-star reviews so a handful of perfect scores cannot outrank a long, consistent record. The formula itself is not published.

Full methodology

What verification unlocks

  • Dealer access Full flagged-review queue with harm scores and factor breakdowns
  • Dealer access Competitive gap against every nearby Ford store
  • Dealer access Rating improvement plan, response standards and the removal simulator

Verification is a human check on affiliation. Nothing in the report promises a review removal.

One public record, three readers

The same data answers three different questions.

A shopper wants to know which store to trust. A dealer wants to know what the public record says about them. Ford wants to know where the network is weakest. FordRatings runs all three off one ranked, dated, public dataset.

  • For shoppers and owners

    Know the store before you walk in.

    Every ranked Ford dealership scored on its own public review record, with the complaints that repeat and where it stands against the store down the road.
