Of the 20 coffee shops someone searching in Schaumburg, IL is shown, not one had answered any of its recent reviews. The same holds for the 20 dermatology practices we read. They are the only two trades in our data where that is true, and neither is short of reviews: the most-reviewed coffee shop we read carries 3,249, and the three most-reviewed dermatology practices carry 1,205, 958 and 844.
That sits against a high bar elsewhere. Across the businesses we measured here, the typical one had answered 75% of its recent reviews. Several named owners had answered every one of their last 10. ABC Dentistry & Orthodontics did so on a listing of 1,841 reviews, and Dental Salon Schaumburg on 977. HIP Salon and Christopher Anthony Salon both answered 10 of 10. COCO Nail Bar Hoffman Estates answered 10 of 10 on 1,215 reviews, Famous Fadez Schaumburg 10 of 10 on 1,201, and County Donuts 10 of 10 on 1,210.

Among cafés, Sayfani Coffee House answered 8 of 10; among bars, Fumare Hookah Lounge answered 9 of 10; among food trucks, Toasty Cheese Food Trucks answered 9 of 10.
Two different measures are in play here. The reply figures cover only each business's most recent 10 reviews. The review totals and median ratings cover the whole listing. The median coffee shop we read carries 198.5 reviews with a 4.7 rating, and the median dermatology practice carries 139 with the same 4.7.
What to do about it
If you run a coffee shop or a dermatology practice, the measurement is simple: of the 20 in your trade that a searcher here is shown, none had answered a recent review. Answering yours puts a reply on your listing where the others we read show none.
Elsewhere, several of the owners we can name had answered 10 of 10, and the typical business we measured here had answered 75% of its recent reviews. Start with your own last 10 reviews and answer each one, good and bad, in a few plain sentences that respond to what the customer actually wrote. Then answer each new review as it arrives. A reply is the one part of that exchange you write, and the figure we read is simply how many of your most recent 10 carry one.

Method
Every figure comes from public Google listings — the businesses and owner replies any customer can see — read on 2026-09-24. Counts describe the businesses someone searching in Schaumburg, IL is shown, which is the competitive set a customer actually chooses from, not a register of businesses inside the city limits. A business is named only where we read at least eight of its recent reviews, and only the ones answering the most are named; the rest of a market appears as a distribution with its denominator. Chains are counted but never named. Nothing is ranked on star rating. Schaumburg, IL has a population of 76,780 and a median household income of $94,690 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
