One listing in this set carries 2260 Google reviews. The next two most-reviewed tattoo studios someone searching around Prior Lake is shown carry 333 and 291. The median across the 20 we read is 91, so the top of the list and the middle of this trade are not describing the same thing. Those counts are whole-listing totals; the reply figures below come from a separate and much shorter window, each business's most recent reviews.
Crazy Lady Ink LLC & Records answered 10 of its last 10, on a listing with 291 reviews. Stay Tru Tattoo answered 9 of its last 10, with 239. The Canvas Tattoo Studio answered 1 of its last 10, and its listing carries 333 reviews. Those three are the ones answering the most out of the 20 we read, which means what the rest of the twenty do is not something this page can tell you.
Among the 47 businesses we measured for someone searching in Prior Lake, the typical one had answered 79% of its recent reviews. That figure is not this trade's own, and we can't see which trades those 47 came from. Two other trades in the same catchment are more definite: we read 20 barbershops and 20 bakeries, and not one business in either had answered any of its recent reviews. The barbershops carry a median of 120.5 Google reviews and the bakeries 98, against 91 for the tattoo studios.
The median rating across the 20 tattoo studios we read is 4.9. A median is one figure for a whole set, so it does not tell you which listing is which, and nothing on this page is ordered by stars. Prior Lake's population is 27,832 and its median household income is $130,278. We read 440 businesses across all trades here.
What to do about it
If your listing sits anywhere near the 91 median, the work worth doing is not the whole file. It is the handful of reviews at the top of it, because that is the part our count is drawn from. Start with the most recent ones that have nothing under them, and include the good ones rather than only the difficult ones.
Write each reply yourself, in the words you would use in the shop. Two replies that open the same way are visible as a pair, and on a listing carrying 291 or 333 reviews that pattern builds up fast. Then treat it as a standing habit rather than a one-off clear-out: catching up once puts a block of answers into the file and leaves the next arrivals bare, while keeping up means the most recent reviews are the answered ones.
