What to do about it
Open your own listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews carry a reply from you. That is the same measure used for every business named on this page, and the benchmark measured here is 71%. If your number sits below that, the fix is a routine: read each new review, and write a short, specific answer in your own words.
The businesses to measure yourself against are in your own trade. Crowned Barber & Co., I Design Salon & Blowdry Bar, Facecard MedSpa, Just Lift Fitness, Dogtopia of Oakbrook Terrace and Vetco Total Care each answered 10 of their last 10. The review is the customer's; the reply is the part you write. It sits on your listing under your name.

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 Oak Brook, IL 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. Oak Brook, IL has a population of 8,028 and a median household income of $171,123 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
