Local SEO for restaurants is about the hungry person deciding within the hour, who opens the map and judges you by your rating, your opening hours and a few photos of the food.
Your Google Business Profile should show real dishes under their real names, and replies to reviews should come from a person who worked that evening.

People choose fast when they look for restaurants nearby, so a map listing that gives no reason to trust you loses the click.
Wrong opening hours or a pin in the wrong place send people to the place next door.
Guests often choose on first impressions, before they read your website.
Someone deciding where to eat tonight looks at the photos on the map, and most of them are snapshots from other diners' phones.
Most visits begin with a search made an hour before the meal. The diner looks at the map, the rating, a few food photos and whether you are open, then walks in or books.
We plan Local SEO for restaurants around the place people come to: one accurate Google Business Profile, local pages that match it and reviews that keep coming.
On the map a restaurant is judged by pictures of plates, and most of them are taken by guests in poor light.
A restaurant gathers reviews faster than almost any other business, and every reply is read by the undecided.
Hunger follows the life of the district: a show nearby, a concert, a long weekend.
This page is about the map, your Google Business Profile and reviews. Service pages and proof such as a clear menu, easy booking and guest reviews people trust have their own page: SEO for restaurants.
We review your Google Business Profile, directory listings and local pages, and check that your name, address and phone number match everywhere.
We set the categories, opening hours, attributes and directions so the profile and the site say the same. For restaurants, the profile shows named dishes in photos you took yourselves, the hours change for holidays, and nights before the theatre or after the match get their own posts.
We make asking for reviews part of the routine and add real photos, so people see the same on the map and on your site.
We track calls, direction requests and bookings, and add pages only for services people really ask about.
Price: Local SEO for restaurants from €350 a month plus VAT, three-month minimum.
We count table bookings, calls and route requests made from the map, and read whether replies to reviews sound like the staff on the floor rather than a template.
Plain answers about Local SEO, written for restaurants.
Local SEO usually takes 6–10 weeks to show: more views of the restaurant on the map, more calls, more requests for directions and more clicks on the reservation button.
Only those that break the rules, for example pictures of another place or ones that show neither food nor the room.
Report the review to Google with the reason: it describes another restaurant, comes from a former employee or a competitor, or is abusive.
By marking the profile as temporarily closed, or by entering special hours for those weeks, and not by leaving the usual hours in place.
