What their replies look like

Not our words — theirs. One recent reply each from the pet groomers above, quoted as it appears on their listing.

“Christi, we appreciate you bringing your Pomeranian to us so regularly. We are pleased Amanda consistently meets your grooming preferences and that our calm setting helps your pup relax. Your kind words mean a lot, and we look forward to caring for you both at your next visit.”

— Temple of Groom, replying to a 5-star review

“I'm so happy to hear that! We put a lot of intention into the atmosphere and it's so rewarding when it bring joy to our guests!”

— Silky Pet Spa, replying to a 5-star review

“Thanks Anna Dahl! We appreciate the feedback. We're proud of how happy you were with our staff and are looking forward to seeing Olive at our shop again soon. We are here for you and your pup ALWAYS!”

— Bowie Barker North Scottsdale, replying to a 5-star review

What the top quarter does differently

The 10 pet groomers with the highest reply rates against the other 31. Three contrasts, each measured, none of them about star rating:

  • They answer most of what comes in. Median reply rate 98% versus 36%.
  • They leave no negative review unanswered. 50% of the top quarter have zero unanswered reviews of three stars or fewer, against 23% of the rest.
  • Customers keep writing to them. Median reviews a month 4.4 for the top quarter, 1.1 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 44 words versus 31 among the rest that reply at all.

How fast reviews arrive

Ranked on Google reviews received per month, among pet groomers with at least 50 reviews. Pace is the number that decides how much any one bad review weighs.

What “normal” looks like in Scottsdale

The typical Scottsdale pet groomer in this audit has 96 Google reviews, a 4.8 rating, answers 64% of them, and receives about 1.3 a month. Ratings cluster high in almost every local category, which is why this page never ranks on them — the difference customers can actually see is in the replies.

How Oh Local helps a Scottsdale 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.

How it works

  1. Run the free audit. We read your public Google reviews and replies and send you the numbers: reply rate, the reviews still waiting for an answer, and the oldest of them — with the table on this page to put them beside.
  2. Claim your page. Pick your listing, and your QR card and short link are ready to print — from your own phone, no onboarding call.
  3. Get the weekly email. Every new review with its reply drafted, private feedback that came in, and the short list of what to fix on your listing and site.
  4. Approve, and that’s it. You press approve on the replies you like. The rest — the card, the page, the measuring — runs on its own.
