What to do about it

Open your listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews carry a reply from you. Then put that number beside the ones on this page: Noelli's at 10 of 10, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea and Delah Coffee Naperville at 9 of 10, Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar at 8 of 10 on a listing of 3,996 reviews. The benchmark measured here is 74%.

If you are below that, the fix is plain work, not a campaign. Reply to each new review, good or bad, in a sentence or two that sounds like you: thank the person, mention what they mentioned, and where something went wrong, say what you are doing about it. Keep it short and specific. A reply is the one part of that exchange you write, and it sits on your listing under your name.
