What to do about it
If you run a gym or a food truck that appears in this search, answering your recent reviews would put you ahead of every business we read in your trade on that one measure, because none of them had answered any.
In the other trades, the figure to match is already named above: 10 of 10 among the nail salons, day spas, massage businesses and chiropractors listed here, and 6 of 10 for the best food and drink businesses we could measure. Start by counting how many of your last 10 reviews carry a reply from you. Every reply figure on this page is counted the same way. Then answer each new review as it arrives, the short five-star ones included, in your own words and with something specific to what the customer wrote. The reply is the one piece of that exchange that is yours to write.

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 Creek, 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. Oak Creek, WI has a population of 36,473 and a median household income of $93,120 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
