Win the local pack
'Restaurants near me', 'best café in [area]' — these are decided in Google Maps. We get your Business Profile into the top 3 where the bookings are.
Reviews that fill tables
Diners choose on rating and recency. We set up an ethical system to earn genuine reviews and reply to every one — a top ranking and trust signal.
Menu & cuisine SEO
Rank for your cuisine, dishes and occasions ('rooftop dining', 'best biryani in [area]') with the right pages and structured data.
AI recommendations
People now ask ChatGPT and Gemini 'where should I eat in [area]?'. We work to get your place on that list (AEO/GEO).
Photos & profile
Strong, fresh photos and a complete, active profile — the things that turn a search into a visit.
Fast, mobile-first
Most diners search on a phone, often hungry and nearby. A fast, mobile-ready presence captures that moment.
Restaurant SEO — your questions
What's the single biggest win for a restaurant?
An optimised, active, review-rich Google Business Profile. Most diners decide in Google Maps — 'restaurants near me', 'best café in [area]' — so ranking in the local top 3 with strong reviews and photos drives the most bookings and walk-ins, fast.
We're on Zomato/Swiggy — do we still need SEO?
Yes. Aggregators charge commission and own the customer relationship. Ranking on Google and Maps brings diners directly to you — for reservations, direct orders and repeat visits — without the commission cut.
How do reviews affect my ranking?
Hugely. Review quantity, rating, recency and your replies are among the strongest local ranking factors — and the first thing a hungry searcher reads. We build a steady flow of genuine reviews (never fake ones, which breach Google's policies).
Should my restaurant menu be on the website as text or a PDF?
As text on a web page, with a PDF only as an extra. Search engines and AI assistants read text menus far more reliably, which helps you appear for dish and cuisine searches such as 'best biryani near me'. Keep prices current, because outdated menus frustrate customers.
How do restaurants get recommended by AI assistants?
Mostly through third parties. In our Kochi study, AI answers about restaurants cited TripAdvisor, a food blog and Reddit and no restaurant websites. A complete Google Business Profile, strong recent reviews and accurate listings on the platforms diners use carry the most weight.
How much do photos matter on a restaurant's Google profile?
A great deal. Diners choose partly by what the food and space look like, so a profile with fresh, genuine photos of dishes, interiors and the entrance gets more clicks and calls than one with a handful of old images. Add new photos regularly, especially when the menu changes.
Ask ChatGPT where to eat tonight — is your restaurant named?
Diners increasingly open an assistant instead of Maps: "good place for dinner near Bandra", "best biryani in Mumbai". The model answers with a handful of names pulled from directories, reviews and listicles. Our free checker gives you an indicative read on how visible you are for that kind of question, and what is likely holding you back. It is a starting point, not a live audit of every model.
