In most industries, a few dozen is normal. Spas and beauty service businesses tend to have far more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The measure here is the total number of Google reviews on a business&#8217;s profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the data shows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>More reviews.<\/strong> Across 69 <strong>spas and beauty service<\/strong> businesses with a connected Google profile, the median was <strong>137 reviews<\/strong>. Across roughly 16,900 profiles in all industries, it was <strong>25<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>A high floor.<\/strong> Even the bottom quarter of spas had <strong>68 reviews or more<\/strong>, which would put them in the top half of businesses overall. The top quarter had <strong>264 or more<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Same star rating.<\/strong> The median rating was <strong>4.9 stars<\/strong> both for spas and for businesses overall.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this does and doesn&#8217;t tell you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These figures are aggregated from Google Business Profiles connected to Diib, with review counts as of late October 2026. The industry group is small, so treat the exact ratio as a rough guide. The data doesn&#8217;t show how long these businesses have been open, how many customers they serve, or how they ask for reviews, all of which affect review counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What it does show is that in this industry a strong rating is common and a big review count is normal. A spa with 30 reviews might look fine in another field, but it sits well below the typical competitor here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The typical spa or beauty service business in Diib&#8217;s data has 137 Google reviews, against 25 for the typical business overall.
