What to do about it

If you groom, board or treat animals, start with one count: of the last 10 reviews on your own Google listing, how many carry a reply from you? The businesses named in this section answered 8, 9 or 10 of their last 10. That is the figure to put yours beside.

Then answer the reviews that are still waiting. Keep each reply short and specific to what the reviewer wrote: thank them by name, mention the pet or the service if they did, and where someone was unhappy, acknowledge it plainly and give them a direct way to reach you. After that, make it part of the week, so each new review gets its answer while it is fresh in your mind. A reply is the one part of a review you write yourself.
