Restaurant SEO FAQ

Common questions from restaurant owners.

How much does a restaurant website cost?
Restaurant websites start at $500/year, which includes custom design, hosting, analytics, and ongoing management. Most restaurants pay $500-$1,000/year depending on features like menu pages and reservation integrations.
Does SEO work for restaurants?
Yes. Local SEO is crucial for restaurants. When someone searches 'best tacos near me' or 'brunch downtown minneapolis', they're ready to eat. Ranking for those searches means more customers walking through your door.
How important is Google Business Profile for restaurants?
Extremely important. Most restaurant searches show the map pack first. Your GBP profile - with photos, menu, hours, and reviews - often gets more traffic than your website. Both need to be optimized together.
What keywords should restaurants target?
Cuisine + location keywords like 'thai food minneapolis', 'best pizza near me', and occasion keywords like 'romantic dinner' or 'best brunch'. Your signature dishes can also be keywords.
How do I get more Google reviews?
Make it easy for happy customers to leave reviews. I help set up review request systems, QR codes on receipts, and follow-up processes. More reviews = higher rankings + more trust.
Do you work with restaurants outside Minnesota?
Yes. While I'm based in Minneapolis, I work with restaurants anywhere. The local SEO strategies work the same regardless of your location.
