What to do about it

Open your Google listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews carry a reply from you. Every reply figure on this page is counted the same way. Among the boarding businesses named here, Camp Bow Wow Diablo Valley and The Pack, Fruitvale each answered 10 of 10; among the groomers, Hound Lounge answered 9 of 10; among the veterinarians, Veterinary Emergency Group answered 8 of 10. The benchmark measured here is 68%, across all trades together.

If your count is below those, start with the next review that comes in and answer it, then work back through the unanswered ones in your last 10. Keep each reply short, thank the person by what they mentioned, and answer a complaint once, calmly, with a way to reach you. The reply is the one piece of that exchange that is yours to write.

How it works

  1. Run the free audit. We read your public Google reviews and replies and send you the numbers: reply rate, the reviews still waiting for an answer, and the oldest of them — with the table on this page to put them beside.
  2. Claim your page. Pick your listing, and your QR card and short link are ready to print — from your own phone, no onboarding call.
  3. Get the weekly email. Every new review with its reply drafted, private feedback that came in, and the short list of what to fix on your listing and site.
  4. Approve, and that’s it. You press approve on the replies you like. The rest — the card, the page, the measuring — runs on its own.
