Of the 20 gyms we read in the set someone searching around Savage is shown, the one answering the most of its recent reviews is Conquer Ninja Gyms - Burnsville, which answered 1 of its last 10. That listing carries 267 reviews. The three most-reviewed gyms in the set hold 729, 655 and 404 reviews, and the median across the 20 is 100.5.
Renew Chiropractic and Wellness answered 8 of its last 10, on a listing holding 325 reviews. Across the 20 chiropractors we read, the median listing holds 111 reviews, and the three largest hold 387, 347 and 325. Two different windows are in play in those sentences and they are not the same measurement: the answered counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews, while the review counts are the whole listing.
The median rating across the 20 chiropractors is 5, and across the 20 gyms it is 4.65. A median is one figure for a whole set. It does not tell you which listing is which, or how the listings beneath it differ from one another, and nothing on this page is ordered by stars in the first place. What this page reports instead is reply behaviour, which is the one part of a listing an owner writes themselves.
One figure covers the wider reading. Across the 40 businesses we measured in what someone searching in Savage is shown, a typical one answered 82% of its recent reviews. That set is a catchment rather than a register of what sits inside the city limits: it is the list a customer searching here is presented with, and a business from a neighbouring area legitimately appears in it. We read 20 gyms and 20 chiropractors for this page, which is 40 of the 420 businesses read across every trade in this catchment.
What to do about it
A listing holding 267 or 325 reviews is not a catch-up project, and treating it as one is a good way never to start. Work backwards from the newest review and stop when you run out of time rather than when you run out of reviews. The counts on this page are taken from each business's most recent reviews for that reason — it is the section of a listing that keeps moving, and the section where a week of attention shows up as a changed number.
Answer the straightforward ones as well as the difficult ones, and write them yourself rather than pasting one sentence down the page: name the class, the adjustment, the person who was on that day. Catching up once and keeping up are two different jobs. The second is a small recurring habit, and it is the one a recent-reviews count actually measures.
