What to do about it

Open your own listing and count how many of your 10 most recent reviews carry a reply. The businesses named above had answered 8, 9 or 10 of 10, and the typical business measured here had answered 75 percent. If your count is lower, answer the unanswered ones first, starting with any that describe a problem, and then set a regular time each week to answer new ones as they come in. A reply is the one part of that exchange you write.

Keep each reply short and specific. Thank the person by name, mention the pet or the service where the review does, and if something went wrong, say what you will do about it and how to reach you directly. Do not argue the details in public, and never offer a discount or anything else in exchange for a review or for changing one.
