What to do about it
Open your Google listing and count your last 10 reviews, then count how many carry a reply from you. That is the same measure behind every reply figure above, so you can set your number beside the named businesses in your own trade and beside the 68% benchmark measured here.
If your number is low, the fix is plain: answer each new review as it comes in, 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. Thank the person who praised a specific dish, stylist or visit by naming it back, and answer a complaint once, calmly, with what you did about it. The review count on your listing is a whole-history total and only your customers add to it; the reply is yours to write today.

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 Cedarburg, 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. Cedarburg, WI has a population of 12,317 and a median household income of $82,110 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
