What to do about it

If you run a coffee shop in this catchment, a reply on your next review is something none of the 20 coffee shops we read had on a recent one. That is the plainest opening in this section. In the other trades, the named businesses above show what answering looks like in practice: County Donuts at 10 of 10, Fumare Hookah Lounge and Toasty Cheese Food Trucks at 9 of 10, Sayfani Coffee House at 8 of 10.

The routine is small. Read each new review as it comes in, write two or three sentences that respond to what the person actually said, thank them by name where they gave one, and sign it as the owner. Answer the critical ones in the same calm tone as the kind ones. A reply is the one part of that exchange you write, and it stays on the listing beside the review.
