What to do about it

Open your own listing and look at your last 10 reviews. Note how many of them have a reply from you. That is the same measure behind every reply figure on this page, and it is the one the owners named above can point to: Crowned Barber & Co. and I Design Salon & Blowdry Bar at 10 of 10, Venezia Nail Spa at 9 of 10. The benchmark measured here is 65 percent of recent reviews answered.

The review is the customer's; the reply is the part you write. Keep it short, thank the person by name where the review gives one, and mention what they came in for: the cut, the colour, the set. Answer each new review as it comes in rather than saving them up, so the next 10 on your listing carry your reply without a catch-up session.

  4. Approve, and that’s it. You press approve on the replies you like. The rest — the card, the page, the measuring — runs on its own.
