SEO for Restaurants
Restaurant discovery has almost entirely moved into the map and into AI-generated recommendations. Diners search 'best Italian near me', check photos, scan recent reviews, and pick — usually without opening a website at all.
What we see in this market
The website still matters, but mostly as the source of truth Google and assistants read: a crawlable menu, correct hours, reservation links and structured data. The profile and the photos do the persuading.
PDF and image menus are invisible
Search engines cannot reliably read them, which removes your dishes from every dish-level search.
Third-party platforms intercept traffic
Delivery apps and review portals outrank restaurants for their own dishes unless the profile and site are properly maintained.
Photo quality is the whole first impression
Profile photography drives more decisions in this category than any other local vertical.
Our playbook
- HTML menu pages with dish names, descriptions and prices as real text
- Menu and Restaurant schema so dishes and hours can be surfaced directly
- A recurring photo program covering food, room and seasonal specials
- Review responses on every review, especially the critical ones
- Event, catering and private-dining pages that capture high-value bookings
