What to do about it
Go to your listing and count your replies under your last 10 reviews. That is the same measure behind every reply figure above, and the benchmark measured here is 63%, measured across all trades together rather than your trade alone. Then compare yourself with the named businesses in your own trade, using their own figures: a tattoo studio has MD Tattoo Studio at 10 of 10, a coffee shop has Little Calf Creamery and Cafe at 9 of 10.
If you groom pets, not one of the 20 groomers we read had answered a recent review, so there is no one in that list to match. Start with your next review and answer it. A reply is the one part of that exchange you write, and it takes a few plain sentences: thank the person, mention what they mentioned, and sign it.

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 Thousand Oaks, CA 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. Thousand Oaks, CA has a population of 125,676 and a median household income of $134,367 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
