Not one of the 20 tattoo studios we read around Fremont had answered any of its recent reviews. That is the plainest fact in this section. These are the tattoo studios someone searching in Fremont, CA is shown, and the reply figure covers only the most recent handful of reviews on each listing. In that window, no studio owner we read had written back to a customer.
The review counts behind those listings are a separate, whole-history measure. The median tattoo studio we read carries 65.5 reviews and a median rating of 4.6. The three most-reviewed studios carry 842, 283 and 206 reviews. None of that tells you how the reviews on any one studio read, only how many have been left over the life of each listing.
The shops someone searching in Fremont is shown are where we can name owners who answer. Fabdrape Indian Clothing Store answered 9 of its last 10 reviews, on a listing of 152 reviews. VAMA Designs Indian Bridal Couture answered 8 of its last 10, on a listing of 211. Dhoom India Fashion, Bridal Boutique answered 2 of its last 10, on a listing of 196. Those are the shops we can name for answering; this section makes no claim about the other shops we read. Across the whole listing history, the median shop we read carries 40 reviews and a median rating of 4.9, and the three most-reviewed shops carry 690, 292 and 211.
For a wider reference point, the benchmark measured here is 73: the typical measured business around Fremont answered 73% of its recent reviews, measured across 49 businesses. That figure is measured across all trades together, not shops or tattoo studios alone. It is still a useful line to hold a single listing against, because it uses the same recent-reviews window as every reply figure in this section.
What to do about it
If you run a tattoo studio, none of the 20 studios we read around Fremont had answered a recent review, so any reply you write puts your listing in a position none of them held when we read them. Open your Google listing, find the newest review and answer it: thank the customer for a good one, and respond calmly to the substance of a critical one. Then do the same for each new review.
If you run a shop, count how many of your last 10 reviews carry a reply from you. That is the same measure behind every reply figure above: Fabdrape Indian Clothing Store at 9 of 10 and VAMA Designs Indian Bridal Couture at 8 of 10. The benchmark measured here is 73%. The review is the customer's; the reply is the part you write.
