Lyn Lake Chiropractic carries 595 Google reviews and answered 10 of its last 10. The Glen Chiropractic & Acupuncture carries 222 reviews and answered 9 of its last 10. Clear Health and Wellness carries 308 reviews and answered 3 of its last 10. Those are the chiropractors answering the most of their recent reviews out of the 20 we read, and what the rest of that twenty do is not something these numbers can tell you.
The files underneath are deep. The median chiropractor in that set of 20 has 146 Google reviews, and the three most-reviewed hold 595, 534 and 423. Among the 20 gyms we read the median is 60, and the three most-reviewed hold 640, 354 and 177. The middle of one set sits at 146 and the middle of the other at 60, while the top of each runs into the hundreds either way.
Two gyms come up as the ones answering the most of their recent reviews. Train Your Way Fitness has 172 reviews on its listing and answered 10 of its last 10. Status Strength and Fitness has 171 reviews and answered 2 of its last 10. Those two figures are measuring different things: the review count is the whole listing, while the reply count is drawn only from the reviews that arrived most recently.
The median rating is 4.9 across the 20 gyms and 4.9 across the 20 chiropractors. A median is a single figure for a whole set; it does not tell you which listing is which, and nothing here is ordered by stars. Among the 55 businesses we measured for someone searching in St. Louis Park, the typical one had answered 60% of its recent reviews. That set is a catchment rather than a register of what sits inside the city limits. 40 of the businesses we read fall into these two trades, out of 480 across every trade.
What to do about it
Open your own listing and count how many of the ten most recent reviews have a reply under them. That is exactly the window these figures come from, and it is the one number on this page you can check yourself in five minutes. If it is lower than you expected, work backwards from the newest and write something under each unanswered one, including the ones that are simply positive and ask nothing of you.
Catching up once and keeping up are two different jobs. The count only ever describes the most recent reviews, so it slides as new ones arrive, and a listing sitting at 10 of 10 is a listing where somebody is still doing it. With a median of 146 reviews across the chiropractors we read and 60 across the gyms, a great deal is already written about these businesses by other people. The replies are the only part you write, so keep them different from one another — a reply that would fit under any review reads like one.
