Restaurant local search: getting found and booked
How restaurants and cafés can improve visibility on Google and Maps, make menus discoverable, and turn searches into reservations and orders.

Accurate listings everywhere
Hours, attributes (outdoor seating, vegetarian options, delivery), photos and the reservation or order link should be correct on Google, Apple Maps and the platforms your guests use. Wrong hours lose trust instantly.
Shorten the path to a reservation
Put a reservation or order button on every page and at the top on mobile. Every extra step — a pop-up, a slow page, a hidden link — loses guests who were ready to book.
Review velocity and replies
Guests read recent reviews before choosing. Ask satisfied guests with a table card or receipt prompt, and reply to reviews thoughtfully. Address recurring complaints in operations, not just in replies.
Content that gives a reason to visit
Seasonal menus, events, chef specials and photos give both guests and search engines a reason to return. Share them on your profile and social channels consistently.
