Food & drink in Anoka, MN

We read 120 businesses across 6 trades — the businesses someone searching in Anoka, MN is shown — and recorded what their Google reviews look like.

Among the 20 cafes we read around Anoka, the two businesses answering the most of their recent reviews each answered 1 of their last 10. The coffee shops we read hold a different figure at the top: 10K Brewing answered 9 of its last 10, on a listing with 624 reviews, and Two Scoops Anoka answered 2 of its last 10, on 876.

The bakeries we read carry the strongest reply counts in this group. Bakers Square answered 10 of its last 10, on a listing with 1,718 reviews, and SMAK answered 9 of its last 10, on 613. Among the restaurants, Margie's Kitchen & Cocktails answered 8 of its last 10, on 1,757. Among the food trucks, Chili Lime Cantina answered 3 of its last 10, on 769.

The review files underneath all of this are large. Median review count per business is 628.5 among the restaurants we read, 575 among the bars, 504 among the cafes, 376.5 among the food trucks, 341.5 among the bakeries and 211.5 among the coffee shops. The three most-reviewed restaurants we read hold 3,393, 1,757 and 1,507. Those are whole-listing counts; the answered-of-ten figures above come from a much narrower window, each business's most recent reviews.

Ratings are not what this page orders anything by. The median rating is 4.55 among the restaurants we read, 4.5 among the bars, 4.6 among the food trucks and 4.8 among the coffee shops, and a trade median is one figure for a whole set rather than a description of any listing in it. Among the 50 businesses we measured for someone searching in Anoka, the typical one had answered 61% of its recent reviews. Two notes on what this data is: the same listing can appear under more than one of these trades, and the set is what a searcher around Anoka is shown, not a register of what sits inside the city limits.

What to do about it

The size of your review file and the state of your replies are two separate things, and only one of them is quick to change. A listing can hold several hundred reviews, as several here do, and the answered-of-ten counts are drawn from a far shorter window: each business's most recent reviews. That window is where an owner has something to work with. Open your own listing, start at the newest review and work backwards, and answer the good ones as well as the difficult ones.

Write each reply to the thing the customer actually named. A reply that could sit under any review is the version a reader learns to skip past, and it takes no less effort than a real one. Then decide which of the two jobs you are doing: catching up once, which moves the count, or keeping up, which is what holds a figure like 10 of the last 10 or 9 of the last 10 in place.
