Enhancement Details

The tool has been expanded from a 4-point diagnosis to an 8-point diagnosis, and new industry-specific diagnostic logic has been implemented.

New 8-Point Diagnostic Criteria

1. Monthly Review Count ── The number of reviews posted on Google Maps.

2. Review Reply Rate ── The percentage of posted reviews to which the owner has replied.

3. Average Rating ── The average star rating of Google reviews.

4. Response to Low-Rated Reviews ── Whether replies are made to reviews with 1-2 stars.

5. Average Word Count of Replies ── Judges the thoroughness of the reply content (Newly added).

6. Average Time to Reply ── Determines if responses are prompt (Newly added).

7. Presence of Photo Submissions ── Whether photos are posted on the Google Business Profile (Newly added).

8. Number of "Likes" on Posts ── Judges the quality of reviews and their contribution to customer acquisition (Newly added).

Industry-Specific Diagnostic Logic (Newly Added)

• For Beauty Salons: Emphasizes the presence of reviews containing treatment menu names and reply patterns that encourage repeat visits.
• For Restaurants: Emphasizes the frequency of food photo submissions and responses to mentions of food safety.
• For Clinics & Medical Institutions: Emphasizes whether replies comply with medical advertising guidelines.
• For Retail & Services: Emphasizes the utilization of reviews containing product/service names.

Suggested Improvement Actions (Newly Added)

Based on the diagnostic results, the tool provides up to three specific, high-priority improvement actions. Each action is accompanied by its expected impact and implementation difficulty.

Background of the Enhancement

According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Report on Public Health Administration and Services," there are approximately 264,000 beauty salons nationwide (FY2022), and the importance of reviews is increasing for all store-based businesses, including restaurants. We have enhanced the tool to provide more practical improvement suggestions by adding new diagnostic items such as "quality of reply" and "response speed," which were not captured by the conventional 4-point diagnosis.
