We read 200 businesses across these trades. The benchmark measured here is 56%: the share of recent reviews a typical measured business answered, across 25 businesses in all trades together. We can't see how the businesses we read but could not measure handled their recent reviews, so the names above are the ones we can credit, not a count of who answers.
What to do about it
Start with your own Google listing: count how many of your last 10 reviews have your reply under them. The reply figures above were counted exactly that way. The benchmark measured here is 56%, and it is measured across all trades together, not your trade alone. The names on this page show what the top of that measure looks like in practice: Bellacure Nails And Spa at 10 of 10, Dental Care of Grafton at 9 of 10, Tomaso's at 9 of 10, The Irish Boutique of Cedarburg at 10 of 10.
Answer each new review, good or bad, with a short reply that speaks to what that customer actually wrote. Thank the specific thing they praised; on a complaint, acknowledge it plainly and say what you will do. The review is the customer's; the reply is the part you write. When your next 10 reviews have come in, count again.

Spa & aesthetics in Grafton, WI: who answers their reviews
Among the day spas someone searching in Grafton, WI is shown, the listing with the most reviews is not the one answering the most of them. We read 20 day spas.

Pets in Grafton, WI: who answers their reviews
We read 20 pet boarding businesses among those someone searching in Grafton, WI is shown. Among the ones we could measure, Flying Fur answered the most of its recent reviews: 9 of its last 10. It is the one boarding business we can name for answering, and that figure is the only reply number in this section tied to a name.
The review counts tell a separate story. The median pet boarding business we read carries 32 Google reviews. The three most-reviewed carry 636, 312 and 294. Flying Fur's listing holds 118 reviews in total. These are whole-listing counts, covering each listing's full history, so they describe a different stretch than the reply figure above, which covers only a business's most recent reviews. A median of 32 is the middle of the set, not a description of every boarding listing, and it says nothing about how the others are spread around it.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pet boarding | 32 | 4.9 | Flying Fur | 9 of 10 |

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 Grafton, 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. Grafton, WI has a population of 12,274 and a median household income of $88,634 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
