Three trades came back completely silent. Across the 20 coffee shops, the 20 barbershops and the 20 dermatology practices someone searching around Eden Prairie is shown, not one business had answered any of its recent reviews. It is not that there is nothing there to answer: the median coffee shop in that set carries 173 Google reviews, the median barbershop 149, and the most-reviewed dermatology listing we read holds 1,516. Set against that, a typical business in the set a searcher around Eden Prairie sees answered 81% of its recent reviews, across the 46 we measured for that figure. That one covers every trade together, not any single one of them.
Dermatology's silence sits next to some of the fullest answering in this catchment. In med spas, the three businesses answering the most of their recent reviews were MK Aesthetics with 332 reviews, LIVskin Medspa | Laser with 287, and Refine Laser & Skin Care with 191, each at 10 of its last 10. Plastic surgery repeats it on bigger files: Skin Artisans at Edina Plastic Surgery answered 10 of its last 10 on 524 reviews, Sono Bello Edina 10 of 10 on 474. In IV therapy, Driip IV and The DRIPBaR Edina both answered 10 of 10.
Food and drink carries the deepest review files we read. Bars have a median of 1,823.5 reviews per business and restaurants 638. Kona Grill - Eden Prairie, with 6,171, answered 8 of its last 10, and Tavern 4&5 answered 7 of its last 10. In bakeries the business answering the most recent reviews was Honey & Rye, at 3 of its last 10 on a file of 619.
Depth and answering do not move together. Massage has a median of 35 reviews per business, and Integrative Massage Minnetonka answered 10 of its last 10 on a file of 75. Chiropractors, median rating 5 across the 20 we read, gave three businesses at 10 of 10: The Well Chiropractic on 420 reviews, and the two HealthSource practices on 216 and 211. In pet grooming, the two answering the most were Hound Dog Pet Hotel - East, at 9 of its last 10 with 236 reviews, and Adore Dog Salon, at 1 of its last 10 with 515.
What to do about it
Every reply count on this page is drawn from a business's most recent reviews, ten of them. That matters if your own file runs to several hundred, because the work in front of you is not the archive. It is the newest ten, and then whatever arrives after those. Skin Artisans at Edina Plastic Surgery answered 10 of its last 10 on a file of 524; MK Aesthetics did the same on 332. File size is not what decides this.
If you cut hair, pour coffee or run a dermatology practice around Eden Prairie, the position is unusual: we read 20 businesses in each of those trades and none had answered anything recent. Take the last ten, answer the warm ones as well as the awkward ones, and write each in your own words rather than reusing one line across all of them. Catching up once and keeping up afterwards are two different jobs, and only the second one stays true a month later.
Food & drink in Eden Prairie, MN
Twenty coffee shops were read in the set someone searching around Eden Prairie is shown, and not one of them had answered any of its recent reviews. That is not a thin trade with nothing to answer: the median coffee shop in that set carries 173 Google reviews, and the three most-reviewed hold 1,201, 776 and 708. The reviews came in and nothing went back out.
Depth swings hard across the food and drink trades we read here. The median bar carries 1,823.5 Google reviews; the median cafe carries 152.5, and the median food truck 85.5. Kona Grill - Eden Prairie, which appears in this set under both restaurants and bars, has 6,171 reviews and answered 8 of its last 10. Tavern 4&5 answered 7 of its last 10 against 3,089. Redstone American Grill answered 4 of its last 10 against 2,552.

Hair, nails & barbering in Eden Prairie, MN
Twenty barbershops were read in the set someone searching around Eden Prairie is shown, and not one of them had answered any of its recent reviews. That is not a thin trade. The three most-reviewed barbershops in that set carry 681, 550 and 357 Google reviews, and the median across the twenty is 149. The median rating is 4.9. A median is one figure for a whole trade, so it does not tell you which listing is which — but the review files are there and the replies are not.
Among the nail salons we can name, the picture is different. Daisy Nails answered 10 of its last 10 reviews and carries 435 reviews in total. ZenAway Nail & Spa answered 9 of its last 10 and carries 739. LVY Nails Chanhassen answered 5 of its last 10, against 398 reviews. Those three are the nail salons answering the most of their recent reviews; the rest of the twenty we read are not described here one way or the other. The median nail salon in this catchment carries 190 reviews at a median rating of 4.75.

Spa & aesthetics in Eden Prairie, MN
Twenty dermatology listings were read in the set someone searching around Eden Prairie is shown, and not one of them had answered any of its recent reviews. One of those listings carries 1516 reviews. The next two carry 612 and 580. The median across the twenty is 76.5 reviews and the median rating is 4.85. That is a lot of review volume with nothing written back underneath any of the recent ones we looked at.
The medical listings elsewhere in this group read differently, one business at a time. In plastic surgery, Skin Artisans at Edina Plastic Surgery answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 524 reviews; Sono Bello Edina answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 474; AirSculpt - Edina answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 204.

Fitness & wellness in Eden Prairie, MN
Three chiropractic practices in the set someone searching around Eden Prairie is shown answered all 10 of their last 10 reviews: The Well Chiropractic, which carries 420 Google reviews, HealthSource Chiropractic of Eden Prairie at 216, and HealthSource Chiropractic of Chanhassen at 211. All three sit in the set someone searching here is shown, which is a catchment and not a register of what sits inside the city limits. Ten of ten is what each of those three listings shows on its most recent reviews.
The gyms read differently on depth. The three most-reviewed gyms we read carry 802, 372 and 304 reviews, and the median across the 20 is 173.5. Life Time Fitness, at 372 reviews, answered 9 of its last 10. We only list the businesses answering the most of their recent reviews, so the rest of the twenty we read are not described here one way or the other.

Dental & orthodontics in Eden Prairie, MN
Glen Lake Family Dentistry carries 818 Google reviews, the largest file among the 20 dentists we read in the set someone searching around Eden Prairie is shown, and it answered 9 of its last 10. The next two largest files in that trade hold 689 and 640 reviews. The median dentist we read sits at 304. Dentistry on the Ponds answered 9 of its last 10 and holds 532 reviews; Modern Day Dental answered 8 of its last 10 and holds 538. Those three are the ones answering the most of their recent reviews, so what the rest of the twenty we read do is not something these figures tell you.
The orthodontists we read run thinner on counts: a median of 110 reviews across 20, with the three largest files at 433, 316 and 298. Ovation Orthodontics answered 9 of its last 10 and holds 241 reviews. Family Orthodontics answered 7 of its last 10 on 298 reviews, and Veil & Wild Orthodontics answered 7 of its last 10 on 251.

Pets in Eden Prairie, MN
Adore Dog Salon carries 515 Google reviews and answered 1 of its last 10. It is one of the two pet grooming businesses, out of the 20 we read, that answered the most of their recent reviews. The other is Hound Dog Pet Hotel - East, which answered 9 of its last 10 and carries 236 reviews. Two figures, pointing in different directions, from listings of very different sizes.
In pet boarding, the three businesses answering the most of their recent reviews were Pampered Pooch Playground, which answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 407 reviews, Camp Bow Wow Eden Prairie, which answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 268, and Dogtopia of Bloomington, which answered 8 of its last 10 and carries 385. Dogtopia appearing in that list is worth explaining: these counts describe the set someone searching around Eden Prairie is shown, which is a catchment rather than a list of addresses, so a business from a neighbouring town belongs in it. The median boarding listing we read carries 100 reviews, against 65 for grooming.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pet grooming | 65 | 4.8 | Hound Dog Pet Hotel - East | 9 of 10 |
| Pet boarding | 100 | 4.8 | Pampered Pooch Playground | 10 of 10 |
| Veterinarians | 200 | 4.75 | Flying Cloud Animal Hospital | 10 of 10 |
Shops & studios in Eden Prairie, MN
Three tattoo studios in the set someone searching around Eden Prairie is shown carry 3541, 2260 and 1204 Google reviews. The median across the 20 studios we read is 257.5. A median is the middle of the set, so half of those 20 sit below that figure and half above it, and the three largest files sit well clear of it.
One studio comes with a reply count attached. Minneapolis Tattoo Shop has 542 reviews and answered 9 of its last 10. We only list the businesses answering the most of their recent reviews, so that number describes that shop and nothing else — it says nothing either way about the rest of the twenty we read.

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 Eden Prairie, MN 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. Eden Prairie, MN has a population of 63,249 and a median household income of $127,732 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
