Do you want a long term passive income boost? If you do, then the ASX 200 dividend shares listed below that analysts rate as a buy could be the way to do it.

Here's why these could be dividend shares to buy now:

Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd (ASX: DMP)

The first ASX 200 dividend share for investors to consider for the long term is Domino's.

This pizza chain operator's shares have been sold off this year after tough trading conditions and inflationary pressures weighed on its performance.

While this is disappointing, Morgans remains positive on the company despite its troubles. In fact, it recently said that it believes that "now is the best time to consider an investment in a quality business like DMP that is facing headwinds that will reverse in time."

And while the company's dividend yield is lower than average, it has the potential to increase materially in the future thanks to management's plan to double its store network.

For now, the broker is forecasting partially franked dividends per share of $1.36 in FY 2023 and $1.62 in FY 2024. Based on the current Domino's share price of $51.30, this will mean yields of 2.65% and 3.15%, respectively.

Morgans has an add rating and an $70.00 price target on the company's shares.

Transurban Group (ASX: TCL)

Another ASX 200 dividend share that could be a top buy and hold option for income investors is Transurban.

It is one of the world's leading toll road operators and the proud owner of a world-class collection of roads across several locations.

While times were hard during the pandemic, its roads have recovered so strongly that it achieved record volumes during the first half. Combined with its development pipeline and inflation-linked price increases, the future looks very bright for Transurban.

That may be why UBS is bullish on the company and has a buy rating and $15.45 price target on its shares.

In addition, the broker is forecasting dividends per share of 57 cents in FY 2023 and then 61 cents in FY 2024. Based on the current Transurban share price of $14.73, this will mean yields of 3.9% and 4.15%, respectively.
