For comparison, the typical business we measured in this catchment answered 74% of its recent reviews, measured across 44 businesses. That figure is measured across all trades together, not pet businesses alone. Every reply figure in this section counts only a business's most recent reviews; the review totals and ratings cover each listing's whole history.

What to do about it

Pull up your Google listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews have a reply from you. That is the same measure behind every reply figure above. If you run a veterinary practice, the three clinics named above each answered 9 of their last 10. If you groom, Community Bark Dog Wash & Groom - Bay View answered 10 of 10 and Bark N Scratch Outpost 7 of 10. If you board, East Tosa Veterinary Clinic answered 10 of 10. Those are the numbers to set your own count beside.

The review is the customer's; the reply is the part you write. Keep it short, thank the person for something specific they mentioned, and answer the substance of any complaint plainly, without arguing. Then put answering new reviews on your weekly list, so your count of the last 10 reflects how you handle reviews as they come in rather than one afternoon of catching up.
