Pull up your Google listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews have a reply from you. The reply figures above were counted exactly that way. Among the food trucks we read, nobody had answered; among the restaurants we could measure, the highest figure was 2 of 10. Among the hair salons, nail salons, dentists and veterinarians named above, the top figure was 10 of 10.

Start with your most recent 10, then answer each new review as it arrives. Answering all 10 matches the figure The Parlor Salon and Spa and Germantown Dental Care show here.

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 Mequon, 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. Mequon, WI has a population of 25,259 and a median household income of $147,391 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
