Among the tattoo studios someone searching in Oak Park, IL is shown, the studio answering the most of its recent reviews had replied to 2 of its 10 most recent. That studio is Ageless Arts Tattoo and Body Piercing. The next two, The Body Art Bar and Jade Dragon Tattoo and Body Piercing, had each answered 1 of 10. Those three are the studios we can name as leaders out of the 20 we read, and this page reports reply figures for them only.
For comparison, the reply benchmark measured in this catchment is 69 percent: that is the share of recent reviews a typical business answered, taken across 55 businesses we measured here. Set beside that figure, the three tattoo studios answering the most of their recent reviews had answered 2, 1 and 1 of their last 10.
Across each listing's whole history, the median tattoo studio we read holds 73.5 Google reviews, and the three most-reviewed hold 850, 759 and 701. Two of the studios named above are among those three: Ageless Arts Tattoo and Body Piercing at 759 reviews and The Body Art Bar at 701. Jade Dragon Tattoo and Body Piercing carries 380. The median rating among the studios we read is 4.75 stars.
Those two kinds of number describe different windows, and they should be read separately. The review totals and the rating cover each listing's whole history. The reply counts cover only the 10 most recent reviews on each listing. A studio can hold hundreds of reviews and a high rating while its latest 10 sit without an answer from the owner. A reply is the one part of that exchange the studio writes, and it sits on the listing under the review it answers.
What to do about it
If you run a tattoo studio here, open your Google listing and count how many of your 10 most recent reviews carry a reply from you. Among the studios we read, 2 of 10 was the most any studio had answered. The typical business we measured in this catchment answered 69 percent of its recent reviews.
A reply does not need to be long. Thank the client by name, mention the piece or the artist if the review does, and sign it from the studio. Where a review raises a problem, acknowledge it plainly and give a way to reach you directly. Then make it a standing task: check the listing on a fixed day each week and answer whatever arrived since the last check.
