Global average rating across car dealerships

What it balances

Combines star rating with review volume so a small Tupelo store with a few perfect reviews does not outrank a high-volume dealership, and a mega-store with thousands of mediocre reviews does not outrank a smaller, consistently excellent one.

What's excluded

Mississippi dealerships with fewer than 25 Google reviews, and listings outside the Tupelo metro trading area. We use the dealer-density centroid of each metro — not city limits — so dealerships in surrounding Mississippi suburbs that compete for Tupelo buyers are included. Insurance agencies, repair shops, and auto-service businesses miscategorized as car dealers are filtered out by name and category.

Data source & freshness

Pulled from Google Business Profile via the DataForSEO Business Listings API. The snapshot above was captured on 2026-05-20 and is refreshed quarterly. Verify live numbers on each store's Google profile before making decisions on this data.

Don't see your store ranked?

Three reasons that might be: your dealership has fewer than 25 Google reviews, sits outside the Tupelo metro radius we searched, or its Bayesian-weighted score didn't crack the top 6. None of these reflect on the dealership itself — review velocity is one signal among many, and closing the gap to the top 6 is exactly the work A3 Brands does for Mississippi dealerships.

Most Mississippi dealerships are not in the top 6 — by definition, only 6 stores per metro can be. If your dealership is not ranked, it is for one of three reasons: it has fewer than 25 Google reviews, it sits outside the Tupelo metro radius, or its Bayesian-weighted score did not place in the top 6 against the local competition. None of these are signals that your store is underperforming overall — review velocity is one signal among many, and closing the gap to the Tupelo top 6 is exactly the work A3 Brands does for Mississippi dealership clients. The database refreshes quarterly, so stores can move into and out of the top 6 between snapshots as review velocity changes.
