Challenge

Before implementing Kenect, the process of managing reviews was entirely manual—and sporadic. Review requests were only sent when staff had time, meaning limited visibility and few new customer reviews. Managing three different Google Business Profiles (GMBs) made reputation management even more difficult without centralized tools.

Solution

Brown’s Elkader adopted Kenect’s Reputation Management suite to simplify their outreach and increase visibility. By activating review requests and uploading custom contact lists, they were able to follow up consistently after service or purchases. Key solution features used:

  • Reputation Management
  • Review Request Automation
  • Custom list uploads for follow-up

Results

Would you recommend Kenect to other dealerships?

I’d absolutely recommend Kenect. Support is fast, and they even helped fix issues with our GMB profile. It’s a better price than anything else we looked at, and it works.
