# SEO for Restaurants & Hospitality

> SEO for Restaurants — fill seats with high-intent local searches.

Restaurant SEO is 80% Google Business Profile, 20% website. I run both — squeezing the GBP for every map-pack ranking and using the site to earn long-tail "best <cuisine> in <city>" traffic.

## Common pain points

- GBP underused — no posts, missing menu, weak photos
- Menu trapped in a PDF or image, invisible to search
- No reviews flywheel — competitors out-reviewing 5:1
- Site failing Core Web Vitals on mobile

## My approach

### GBP as a marketing channel

Weekly posts, full menu in GBP, dish-level photos, Q&A seeded, and review responses on every review.

### Menu in HTML

Server-rendered menu with Menu schema and dish-level pages where it makes sense.

### Local content engine

"Best <cuisine>", "top <occasion>", and neighborhood guides that link to your reservation page.

### Review velocity system

Post-meal review prompts via SMS/QR and a clear response cadence.


## Target keywords

- restaurant SEO
- restaurant local SEO
- Google Business Profile restaurant
- hospitality SEO
- cafe SEO

## FAQ

### How fast can I show up in the map pack?

If you have a fully optimized GBP, decent reviews, and consistent NAP, most restaurants see map-pack movement in 30–60 days.
