What to do about it

If you run a grooming, boarding or veterinary business, the figure to measure yourself against is already named: Dogtopia of Oakbrook Terrace, Dogtopia of Downers Grove and Vetco Total Care each answered 10 of their last 10 reviews. Look at your last 10 reviews on your listing and count the ones you have replied to. That is the same measure used on this page, so the comparison is direct.

Then answer the ones without a reply, starting with the newest, and reply to each new review as it arrives. Keep it short and specific to what the reviewer wrote about their pet's visit. A reply is the one part of a review page you write.
