Two trades stand out among the businesses someone searching in Brookfield, WI is shown. Of the 20 bars we read, not one had answered any of its recent reviews, and the same is true of the 20 gyms we read. For scale, the median bar we read carries 301.5 reviews and the most-reviewed carries 2,132. The median gym carries 106 reviews, and the most-reviewed carries 1,066.
The practice trades read very differently. Among the med spas we could measure, Face to Face Spa at Brookfield, Luna Med Spa and A Younger You Medical Spa each answered 10 of their last 10 reviews. The plastic surgery practices named here, Sono Bello Milwaukee, Curtis A. Crimmins, MD and Bonness MD Cosmetic Surgery, each answered 10 of 10 as well, as did Milwaukee Medical Weight Loss & MediSpa, Milwaukee Laser & Body Aesthetics and Bobby Wu, MD, FACS among the weight-loss clinics. Among the chiropractors, Alive Chiropractic and Chiropractic Company of Brookfield answered 10 of 10, and Connect Chiropractic answered 9 of 10.
In food and drink, the replies we can credit belong to named businesses. Waking Daisy answered 10 of its last 10 among the cafés, and Octane Coffee - Brookfield answered 9 of 10 among the coffee shops. Among the restaurants we could measure, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse answered the most of its recent reviews: 8 of 10. Separately, the median restaurant we read carries 886 reviews, and the most-reviewed carries 3,330. Among the veterinarians, Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital & Exotic Care answered 10 of 10, and among the pet boarding businesses, Camp Bow Wow Waukesha answered 10 of 10.
The benchmark measured here puts the typical business we could measure at 81% of its recent reviews answered, across 52 businesses. That figure is measured across all trades together, not any one trade alone. Against it, the bars and gyms we read sit at zero.
What to do about it
Count the replies on your own last 10 reviews. The reply figures above were counted exactly that way. If you run a med spa, a plastic surgery practice or a weight-loss clinic, the businesses named above in your trade are at 10 of 10, so that is the figure to compare yourself with. If you run a café, Waking Daisy is at 10 of 10; a coffee shop, Octane Coffee - Brookfield is at 9.
If you run a bar or a gym, none of the 20 we read in your trade had answered a recent review, so any reply you write is one they have not. Start with the next review that arrives, good or bad, and answer it in a sentence or two that responds to what the customer actually said. You do not write the review, but you do write the reply.

Among the coffee shops, Octane Coffee - Brookfield answered 9 of 10, on 310 reviews. Among the restaurants, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse answered 8 of 10, on a listing of 2,181 reviews.

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 Brookfield, WI 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. Brookfield, WI has a population of 41,592 and a median household income of $124,026 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
