What to do about it

Pull up your listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews have a reply from you. Every reply figure on this page is counted the same way. The benchmark measured here is 70: a typical measured business answered 70% of its recent reviews, measured across 44 businesses in all trades together, not spa and aesthetics alone. Put your own count beside that figure and beside the named businesses in your trade.

If your count is low, the fix is small and repeatable: answer each new review as it comes in, the five-star ones included. Keep it short, thank the person by what they said, and mention the specific service they wrote about. A reply is the one part of a review you write, and every reply figure above is a count of exactly that.
