Net sentiment

The market scores +82 out of 100 on customer sentiment.

Customers here are happy on average — but a small handful of businesses are doing the heavy lifting. The rest are riding on goodwill that is already thinning. The report shows you which side of that line each name sits on.

The shape of the market

Nearly nine in ten reviews are five stars. The other one in ten is the story.

A 4.58 average makes almost everyone look fine. It is the 807 one-star reviews that separate the businesses that are actually well run from the ones that have simply not been caught yet — and they cluster around a small number of names.

What they feel about it

Stars tell you the score. Feelings tell you why.

The emotions that keep surfacing in reviews of businesses in this market. A few are predictable. One is not — and it is sitting on 69.4% of everything customers wrote.

The dominant emotion in this market is not one of the three most businesses optimise for. The report names it, shows which businesses trigger it, and shows what they do differently.

The proprietary method

The Review
Census

Most review analysis reads a handful of reviews and calls it a trend. The Review Census reads every public review for every business in the market, so the figures describe the whole market — not a slice of it.

01 · Complete

Every review, every dealer

9,279 reviews across all 400 used car dealers in Greater Manchester. Nothing sampled, nothing cherry-picked.

02 · Comparative

Measured against the market

Every figure is placed against the market median, so a 4.58 means something relative to the forecourt down the road.

03 · Multi-signal

Beyond the star rating

Rating, sentiment, emotion, phrase frequency and consistency — read together, not flattened into a single blended average.

Same method, applied to every market we publish · 281 of 400 dealers had enough reviews to plot How the Review Census works →

Before you buy

The questions we get most often.

Where does the data come from?
Public reviews left by real customers on public review platforms, collected for 400 businesses categorised as used car dealers in Greater Manchester between 1 January and 31 July 2026. Nothing is scraped from private systems and nothing is invented — every claim in the report traces back to a review you could go and read yourself.
How is this different from just looking at Google myself?
You can read one business at a time. This reads 9,279 reviews across 400 of them at once, then does the part that takes the time: classifying sentiment and emotion, extracting the phrases that repeat, mapping every business on quality and consistency, and turning that into a ranked set of moves. Doing it by hand is roughly two weeks of work.
What exactly is behind the blurred sections?
Business names. The leaderboard names all five leaders and ranks the remaining 395. The findings grid resolves into named businesses with the evidence attached. The phrase grid shows all six phrases. The emotion list names the emotion sitting on 69.4% of reviews. Nothing on this page is a placeholder for something that does not exist.
How do I use the CARDEALER50 code?
Click any buy button on this page, then enter CARDEALER50 in the discount field at checkout. It takes the price from £49 to £24.50. The code applies to this report and expires when the countdown at the top of the page runs out.
What format is it, and how fast do I get it?
A password-protected online report, roughly 30 pages, readable from any browser on any device and yours to keep. It lands in your inbox within minutes of your card clearing.
Will my competitors see that I bought it?
No. Purchases are private. The report is produced from public review data and is not shared with, or on behalf of, any business named in it.

You've seen the preview. The names are one click away.

The leaderboard, the themes, the named competitors, the verbatim quotes, the prioritised actions — all unlocked the moment your card clears.
