What to do about it

Pull up your listing and count how many of your last 10 reviews have a reply from you. It is the same count behind each reply figure above. Among the food and drink businesses named here, the highest is 6 of 10, from The City Market Café & Bakehouse, and the benchmark measured here, across all trades together, is 70 percent.

Then answer the ones still waiting, newest first, and make answering each new review part of the week. You do not write the review, but you do write the reply. It does not need to be long: thank the person, respond to the specific thing they mentioned, and sign it with your name. If a review is critical, answer it the same way, calmly and without arguing the details. Do the count again after your next 10 reviews.
