What to do about it
If you run a restaurant, there is no reply standard to match among the 20 we read: none had answered a recent review. Open your listing, read your ten most recent reviews and write a short reply to each. Thank the person for what they actually mentioned, and answer a complaint with what you will do about it. Then answer each new review as it comes in.
If you run a med spa, IV therapy, weight-loss or orthodontic practice, every business named above in your trade answered 10 of its last 10, and the benchmark measured here is 73%. Count how many of your own last 10 carry a reply and set that against those figures. A reply is the one part of that exchange you write, so keep it in your own words and specific to what the reviewer said.

Method
Every figure comes from public Google listings — the businesses and owner replies any customer can see — read on 2026-09-24. Counts describe the businesses someone searching in Batavia, IL is shown, which is the competitive set a customer actually chooses from, not a register of businesses inside the city limits. A business is named only where we read at least eight of its recent reviews, and only the ones answering the most are named; the rest of a market appears as a distribution with its denominator. Chains are counted but never named. Nothing is ranked on star rating. Batavia, IL has a population of 26,730 and a median household income of $119,167 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
