What to do about it
Open your Google listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews carry a reply from you. That is the same measure behind every reply figure above, and it is the one you can change today.
If you run a bar, not one of the 20 bars we read had answered any of its recent reviews, so any reply you write is one none of them had. If you run a practice, the named dentists, med spas and IV therapy businesses above each answered 9 or 10 of their last 10; that is the bar set by the businesses a searcher is shown beside you. Whatever the trade, the benchmark measured here is 70%. Start with your newest review, answer it in plain words, and keep answering until your next 10 all carry a reply. The reply is the one piece of that exchange that is yours to write.

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 Danville, CA 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. Danville, CA has a population of 43,426 and a median household income of $223,206 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
