The median star rating across the 20 chiropractors we read around Wayzata is 5. A median is one figure for a whole trade; it does not tell you which listing is which, and nothing on this page is ordered by stars anyway. Volume across those same 20 listings is far less even: the median is 89 Google reviews, while the three most-reviewed hold 401, 299 and 235.
On replies we can report only the businesses answering the most of their recent reviews, one at a time. The Brost Clinic answered 10 of its last 10, on a listing holding 235 reviews. Minnesota Chiropractic and Rehabilitation answered 9 of its last 10, on a listing holding 195. Those two figures describe those two businesses and nobody else; the rest of the 20 we read are not covered by them.
Among the 20 gyms we read, the median listing holds 74.5 reviews and the median rating is 4.65, with the three most-reviewed at 482, 359 and 283. Discover Strength answered 3 of its last 10, on a listing of 195 reviews. Ridgedale YMCA answered 1 of its last 10, and its listing holds 359.
Two different windows sit next to each other in all of that, and they are worth keeping apart. The reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews only. The review counts, 482 and 401 and 299, are the whole listing, everything Google holds against that name. And one figure covers the wider set: across the 50 businesses we measured in what someone searching in Wayzata is shown, a typical one answered 81% of its recent reviews.
What to do about it
If your listing is one of the deeper ones, and the three biggest gym listings we read hold 482, 359 and 283 reviews, there is no need to work back through the whole file. The counts on this page are drawn from each business's most recent reviews, so the practical unit of work is the newest stretch rather than the archive. Open your reviews tab, answer down from the top until you run out of unanswered ones, and then keep going as new ones land. Catching up once and keeping up are different jobs, and it is the second one that produces a number like 10 of 10.
Answer the good ones as well as the difficult ones, and write each reply yourself, naming the thing the person actually mentioned. A reply that would sit under any review is doing less work than one sentence about that particular visit.
