SanaVitta Wellness Center & Medspa answered 10 of its last 10 reviews, and Refinery Skin Clinic answered 10 of its last 10. Valley Skin & Medspa answered 9 of its last 10, on a listing carrying 623 reviews. Two of those names, SanaVitta and Valley Skin & Medspa, are also the businesses answering the most among the twenty listings we read under IV therapy, so someone running two different searches around Prior Lake can be shown the same practice under both.
The day spas we read sit at a median of 54 Google reviews, while the three most-reviewed carry 1048, 514 and 138. Among the day spas answering the most, Soulful Serenity Luxury Scalp Spa answered 10 of its last 10 with 126 reviews on its listing, and Spavia Day Spa- Apple Valley answered 9 of its last 10 with 514.
Weight-loss clinics gave us a single business answering the most: SlimGevity, at 10 of its last 10, and its 1341 reviews are the largest file among the twenty we read in that trade. The dermatology listings sit at a median of 55.5 reviews with three files at 742, 548 and 477; Allina Health Savage Clinic answered 10 of its last 10, and Skin Care Doctors, Dermatology answered 9 of its last 10 on a listing of 548.
We measured 47 of the businesses someone searching in Prior Lake is shown; a typical one answered 79% of its recent reviews. That figure is not this group's own, and we do not know which trades those 47 came from. Two trades outside this group came back with nothing at all: none of the twenty barbershops we read had answered any of their recent reviews, and none of the twenty bakeries had either, on medians of 120.5 and 98 reviews.
What to do about it
Median ratings across these five trades sit at 5, 5, 5, 4.9 and 4.8. A median is one number for a whole set and does not tell you which listing is which, so a person comparing two of them is left with the written part: the reviews, and whatever is written underneath them.
That is also where our counts come from. We read each business's most recent reviews and counted how many carried an owner reply. The whole-file totals are a separate number, so a listing at 623 or 1341 reviews is not a backlog anyone has to clear. Start at the newest and work back, and include the positive ones. Write each reply as the specific visit it was, in your own words rather than a stock line. In a medical trade, keep the clinical detail out of a public reply and thank the person without confirming what they came in for. Catching up once is the easy half; the recent ones keep moving.
