Food trucks, gyms, pet grooming and tattoo studios each had 20 businesses read, and in every one of those trades not a single business had answered any of its recent reviews. Size is not what separates them from the rest. The gyms in this set carry a median of 257 Google reviews, and the three most-reviewed of them hold 866, 854 and 608. The most-reviewed tattoo studio holds 3,541. Those totals are the whole listing; the reply counts are drawn only from each business's most recent reviews, and in these trades there was nothing there to count.
Other trades in the same catchment look different, one named business at a time. Among the 20 chiropractors we read, Synergy Chiropractic, P.A. answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 618 reviews; Oasis Chiropractic & Wellness Center answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 482. All three chiropractors we list as answering the most are at 10 of 10. In med spas, Rejuvenation MedSpa by Minnesota Women's Care answered 10 of its last 10 on 261 reviews, and Uplift Aesthetics 10 of its last 10 on 198.
Depth and replies do not move together here. Restaurants show a median of 474 reviews and veterinarians 425. B-52 Burgers & Brew Inver Grove Heights, with 4,027 reviews, answered 2 of its last 10, and Lakewood Tavern, with 1,227, answered 2 of its last 10. Skadron Animal Hospital answered 5 of its last 10. Southview Animal Hospital, with 1,981 reviews on the listing, answered 1 of its last 10. IV therapy shows a median of 37 reviews, and there The Med Spa Woodbury answered 10 of its last 10 on a file of 127.
A typical business among the 50 we measured in what a searcher in Inver Grove Heights is shown answered 63% of its recent reviews. That figure is not tied to any one trade, and the businesses behind it are the set a searcher here sees rather than a register of what sits inside the city limits. In total we read 460 businesses across these trades. The town's population is 35,772 and its median household income is $104,055.
What to do about it
Every reply count on this page comes from the same narrow window: each business's most recent reviews. The review totals beside them are the whole listing, which is why a file of 4,027 and a file of 114 are read here in exactly the same way. If your own file runs into the hundreds, that is the good news, because catching up does not mean going back through all of it. Start at the newest end and work down, and answer the positive ones as well as the ones that sting.
Write each reply yourself, with a detail from that specific visit in it, rather than one line reused underneath every review. And treat it as a habit rather than an afternoon's work. A single catch-up puts your recent reviews at 10 of 10 once; the same ten will be a different ten next month, and the count is taken fresh every time anybody looks.

Spa & aesthetics in Inver Grove Heights, MN
Three med spas each answered every one of their last 10 reviews: Rejuvenation MedSpa by Minnesota Women's Care, whose listing carries 261 reviews, Uplift Aesthetics with 198, and Honey Aesthetics Clinic with 175. Those are the three answering the most of the 20 med spas we read. Among day spas, the three answering the most are The Med Spa Woodbury, which answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 127 reviews, Awaken For Wellness + SweatWorks Studio, which answered 6 of its last 10 and carries 525, and OYESPA Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa, which answered 2 of its last 10 and carries 299. In each trade that list holds only the businesses answering the most, so it says nothing about the rest of the twenty we read.
Review count and reply count are two separate measurements. Optimum Health, a weight-loss clinic, answered 9 of its last 10 and carries 114 reviews; Inver Grove Chiropractic and Wellness answered 1 of its last 10 and carries 641. In dermatology, Tareen Dermatology Eagan answered 8 of its last 10 with 268 reviews, and Allina Health Eagan Clinic answered 7 of its last 10 with 489. The two come from different places: reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews, review counts from the whole listing.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day spas | 66 | 4.9 | The Med Spa Woodbury | 10 of 10 |

Fitness & wellness in Inver Grove Heights, MN
Not one of the 20 gyms we read had answered any of its recent reviews. That is the whole set we looked at, not a sample of it, and it sits on top of some substantial review files: the three most-reviewed gyms carry 866, 854 and 608 Google reviews, against a median of 257 across the 20.
The chiropractors have to be read one business at a time. Synergy Chiropractic, P.A. answered 10 of its last 10, on a listing carrying 618 reviews. Oasis Chiropractic & Wellness Center answered 10 of its last 10, with 482. Health 1st Chiropractic & Wellness Center answered 10 of its last 10, with 204. Those are the three answering the most of the 20 chiropractors we read. The rest of that twenty we did not name, and this page cannot tell you how they handle replies.

Dental & orthodontics in Inver Grove Heights, MN
A dental listing in the set someone searching around Inver Grove Heights is shown carries 212 Google reviews at the median, and an orthodontic one carries 232. The three most-reviewed dental listings we read hold 746, 732 and 574 reviews; the three most-reviewed orthodontic listings hold 745, 644 and 381. Those are whole-listing totals, not a recent slice.
We read 20 dentists and 20 orthodontists, and only the businesses answering the most of their recent reviews are named. Among the dentists, Metro Dentalcare-Inver Grove Heights answered 10 of its last 10, on a listing with 574 reviews. Among the orthodontists, Horton Orthodontics answered 10 of its last 10 on a listing with 644 reviews, and Dunn Orthodontics answered 10 of its last 10 on a listing with 381. Because we list only the businesses answering the most, those figures say nothing about the rest of the twenty we read in either trade.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dentists | 212 | 4.9 | Metro Dentalcare-Inver Grove Heights | 10 of 10 |

Pets in Inver Grove Heights, MN
None of the 20 pet groomers we read had answered any of their recent reviews. Not one reply, across the whole trade as we measured it. The three most-reviewed grooming listings in the set carry 1320, 1118 and 336 Google reviews, and the median across the 20 is 75. The median rating is 4.7, which is a single figure for the trade and does not tell you which listing is which.
The boarding businesses answering the most of their recent reviews are these. PetSuites Eagan answered 9 of its last 10, and its listing holds 313 reviews. Hound Around Resort answered 3 of its last 10, with 287 on the listing. Dog Days Daycare & Boarding answered 1 of its last 10, with 159. Those three came out of the 20 boarding businesses we read; about the rest we did not name, we can't say either way. The boarding median is 79 reviews and 4.7 stars, close to grooming on both.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |

Shops & studios in Inver Grove Heights, MN
Not one of the 20 tattoo studios we read had answered any of its recent reviews. That is the finding for this group, and it sits on top of some substantial review files: the median studio carries 170.5 Google reviews, and the three most-reviewed listings we read hold 3541, 448 and 420. Those two things are measured over different windows. The reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews; the review counts are the whole listing.
A typical business among the 50 we measured in what a searcher in Inver Grove Heights is shown answered 63% of its recent reviews. The 20 studios are part of that same catchment and were read the same way. Those two figures are worth putting side by side.

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 Inver Grove Heights, 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. Inver Grove Heights, MN has a population of 35,772 and a median household income of $104,055 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
