Your Google Business Profile is often the very first thing a hungry customer sees about your restaurant — before your menu, before your reviews, sometimes before they've even opened Google Maps. Small mistakes here quietly cost you bookings and orders every single day.
Nothing sends a customer to a competitor faster than arriving to a closed door. Double-check your hours match reality, including public holidays.
Listings with recent, high-quality photos get significantly more clicks and direction requests. Add fresh photos of your food, your space and your team at least once a month.
"Restaurant" is often too broad. Choosing precise categories (e.g. "Pizza restaurant", "Coffee shop") helps you show up for the exact searches your customers are typing.
Responding to reviews — good and bad — signals to both Google and customers that a real business is paying attention. Aim to respond within 48 hours.
If a customer can't see your menu or find a way to order without leaving Google, you've lost a chunk of them right there. Add your menu and delivery platform links directly to your profile.
