Audit your local footprint

Start by reviewing your Google Business Profile, website location pages, and citations across local directories.

Inconsistent hours, duplicate listings, or outdated menus can hurt rankings and confuse guests.

Optimize Google Business signals

Post updates regularly, keep photos fresh, and link directly to your ordering pages.

Use categories and attributes that match how diners search for your cuisine.

Build location pages that convert

Create pages that pair local keywords with direct ordering CTAs.

Add menu schema so search engines understand your offerings and surface rich results.

FAQs

How often should we update Google Business?
Weekly updates keep listings fresh and signal active management.
Do we need a page for every location?
