What to do about it
Start with your own listing: count how many of your last 10 reviews have your reply under them. That is the same measure behind every reply figure above. Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine, Greenbrae Dermatology and Chic Lash Boutique MILL VALLEY each answered 10 of 10; the benchmark measured here, across all trades together, is 77 percent.
If your count is below that, start with the newest review and work backwards. Write each reply yourself: thank the person by what they actually mentioned, and keep treatment or patient details out of it. A reply is the one part of a review you write, and it sits on your listing beside the review for as long as the review does. Then keep the count at 10 of 10 as new reviews arrive, rather than catching up in batches.
