Short answer 42 words

Track the same few measures for every dealer, in one place: calls answered, enquiry reply time, profile accuracy, review rating and replies, and sales or bookings where you have them. Compare each dealer with similar dealers and with its own past results.

The fuller answer

Choose measures dealers control

Pick five. Calls answered, enquiry reply time, profile accuracy, review rating and reply rate, and leads or sales. See the full list in KPIs for a dealer network.

Collect the data in one place

Digital signals can be tracked without access to the dealer's own systems: tracked numbers for calls, profile data and reviews. Sales data comes from your own systems. See call tracking.

Compare like with like

Group dealers by market size and format before ranking. Look at trends over months, not one week. A dealer improving from a low base needs support, not a warning.

Share it and act on it

Show each dealer its own scorecard, send regional managers a short list of exceptions, and follow up on a schedule. See dealer demand leakage for where leads are usually lost.

Locus Intelligence Enterprise gives one view of calls, profiles and reviews per dealer, by region. See dealer networks, the car dealership SEO guide or book a demo.

Measure	Why it matters	How to compare
Calls answered	Missed calls are lost enquiries	Dealer against its region
Enquiry reply time	Speed decides who wins the lead	Same lead source across dealers
Profile accuracy	Wrong hours or phone lose visits	Against the brand standard
Review rating and replies	Trust before the first visit	Trend, not a single month
Visits, bookings or sales	The outcome	Against similar-size dealers

Mistakes to avoid

Tracking too many measures
Instead: Pick five. Add more only when the first five are routine.
Judging on one month
Instead: Look at the trend and peer group before escalating.
Collecting data nobody acts on
Instead: Pair every measure with an owner. See monitoring vs governance.
