How many new Google reviews does a med spa get each month?
The typical US med spa gets about 5.83 new Google reviews a month. For businesses that see dozens of clients a week, that's a small share asking, or being asked, to write one. Recency is what patients notice, and it's the easiest thing to change.
- Median: about 5.83 new Google reviews a month (115-spa review subsample).
- That is roughly one or two a week, a small share of most med spas' client volume.
- A profile with steady weekly reviews looks more active than one with more reviews but nothing recent.
- A review routine (right moment, one tap, every client) is a process fix, not a budget line.
- Every practice welcome — retainers from $499/mo, Goals-Driven engagements, Performance-Linked Payout Models available.

“They were able to get all my ideas and work with me over a period of three to four months and create this amazing website. It's super customized, very modern, and it incorporates all the elements that I had wanted — the patient portal, nice pictures, a very interactive website, patient reviews. I would highly recommend their company to anyone who wants to make an excellent website.”
About 5.83 new reviews a month
Short answer: the median med spa adds roughly one or two Google reviews a week.
Why the pace matters more than the total
Short answer: patients read recent reviews first, and recency is visible at a glance.
Picture two med spas next to each other on the map. One has 300 reviews, but the newest is two months old. The other has 150, with a new one every few days. Many patients will read the second as the busier, more current business.
Recency also keeps the story current. Reviews written this month describe your current team, prices and booking experience. That matters when the booking experience is the one theme where complaints outnumber praise.
A four-step review routine
- Ask at the right moment. When the client says they're happy, not at the payment screen.
- Make it one tap. A direct link by text or email (with consent), or a QR code at checkout.
- Make it routine. Every client, every day, owned by a named person. Steady beats bursts.
- Track it weekly. Count new reviews each Monday. If the number drops, the routine has slipped.
Method: review pace = reviews dated in the last six months divided by six, from up to 50 recent Google reviews per spa, in a random 115-spa subsample of our 555-spa study. See the methodology & data.

Common questions
How many Google reviews does a med spa get per month?
In our review subsample of 115 US med spas, the median was about 5.83 new reviews a month, calculated as reviews dated within the last six months divided by six, from up to 50 recent reviews per spa.
How many reviews a month should a med spa aim for?
Beating the median of about 5.83 a month is a sensible first goal. In cities where typical profiles are much deeper than the US median of 148 reviews, a higher pace is needed to catch up.
Why do recent reviews matter?
Patients read the most recent reviews first, and a profile with steady new reviews looks active. Our study describes visible patterns rather than Google's ranking formula, but recency is one of the signals every prospective patient can see.
How can a med spa get more reviews each month?
Ask every satisfied client at the moment they express satisfaction, send a one-tap review link by text with consent or use a QR code at checkout, and make it part of the daily routine. Avoid undisclosed incentives and reviews from staff or family.
