We read 140 businesses across these trades, 20 in each. The benchmark measured here is 43%: the share of recent reviews a typical measured business answered, taken across 16 businesses and all trades together, not any one trade alone. Every reply figure above covers only the most recent 10 reviews of a listing; the review counts and ratings cover the whole listing.
What to do about it
Open your listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews carry a reply from you. That is the same measure behind every reply figure above. If you run a dental practice, two of the practices named above answered 8 of 10. If you run a restaurant, Ojai Pizza Company answered 6 of 10. The benchmark measured here is 43%, taken across all trades together.
Then answer each new review as it comes in, the five-star ones as well as the rest, in a line or two that refers to what the customer actually said. The review is the customer's; the reply is the part you 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 Ojai, CA 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. Ojai, CA has a population of 7,576 and a median household income of $79,202 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
