What the top quarter does differently
The 11 pet groomers with the highest reply rates against the other 33. Three contrasts, each measured, none of them about star rating:
- They answer most of what comes in. Median reply rate 98% versus 30%.
- They leave no negative review unanswered. 73% of the top quarter have zero unanswered reviews of three stars or fewer, against 48% of the rest.
- Customers keep writing to them. Median reviews a month 2.9 for the top quarter, 1.6 for the rest. Replying does not create reviews on its own — but in this market the pet groomers that answer are also the ones customers keep writing to.
- Their replies are longer. Median reply length 37 words versus 30 among the rest that reply at all.

How Oh Local helps a Fort Lauderdale pet groomer
Most of your customers pay, leave, and are gone — the review only happens if something they took with them asks for it. The pet groomers at the top of this page answer what comes in and keep it coming: a review link on the receipt or a card, a reply to every negative review within days (how to write one), and no unanswered three-star review a customer can find first.
