What to do about it

Start with your own listing: count how many of your last 10 reviews have your reply under them. The reply figures above were counted exactly that way. Among the groomers, Alpha Grooming Pet Salon, Outlet Mobile Pet Grooming and Pawsitively Groomed Pet Salon each answered 10 of 10. Among the veterinarians, San Bruno Pet Hospital answered 7 and North Peninsula Veterinary Emergency Clinic 6. Among the boarding businesses, The Cats' Inn answered 3.

The review is the customer's; the reply is the part you write. Answer each new review as it comes in, the warm ones as well as the critical ones, in your own words and with one specific detail from what the customer said: the dog's name, the service, the stay. Keep a critical reply short, factual and polite, and offer a way to reach you directly. Then check the count again after your next 10 reviews.
