Restaurant & Hospitality Marketing
On This Page:
We help restaurants, bars, hotels, and venues bring in more guests with better SEO, smarter ads, and websites that make it easy to book, call, or order.
Restaurant & Hospitality SEO
Your guests aren’t just searching on Google anymore — they’re also asking AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity where they should eat, drink, or stay. We help you show up everywhere guests look. Our SEO strategy focuses on map-pack visibility, “near me” searches, and modern AI recommendations that drive real reservations, orders, and bookings.
What We Do:
01
Google Business Profile Optimization
We fully set up and optimize your Google listings so guests see accurate hours, menus, photos, and a clear way to call or get directions.
02
Service & Experience Pages
We create focused pages for dine-in, takeout, brunch, happy hour, catering, private events, and more so people can quickly find the exact experience they want.
03
Local Search Signals
We strengthen the local trust signals Google looks for, such as consistent listings, local directories, and review profiles that match how guests discover you.
04
GEO / AI Visibility (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity)
We structure your content and data so AI tools clearly understand who you are, what you offer, and where you are, improving your chances of being recommended in AI answers.
05
On-Page SEO
We clean up titles, headings, links, and behind-the-scenes code so search engines and AI platforms can easily read your site and match it to the right searches.
06
Reviews & Reputation Support
We help you collect more good reviews and respond to them in a professional way so new guests feel confident choosing you.
07
Multi-Location Strategy
For groups and chains, we create separate pages and profiles for each location so every property can rank in its own neighborhood.

FAQs
How long does SEO take for restaurants and hospitality brands?
Most restaurants and hotels see early gains in 6 to 12 weeks for branded and near me searches, with bigger competitive wins typically taking 3 to 6 months of consistent work.
Can you help us show up in AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity?
Yes. We include GEO and AI visibility work as part of our SEO, so AI tools better understand your business and are more likely to recommend you when people ask where to eat or stay.
What kind of ad budget do we need?
Single-location restaurants often start with a modest daily budget, while hotels and multi-location groups usually invest more. We suggest a starting range based on your goals and then adjust from there.
Can you track reservations, orders, and room bookings?
Yes. We connect analytics, call tracking, and your booking or ordering systems so you can see which channels and campaigns drive real revenue.
Do you work with single locations, groups, and franchises?
We support independent restaurants, boutique properties, and multi-location groups. The overall approach is similar, but we add extra structure and reporting for larger groups.
Do we need a brand new website?
Not always. If your current site is slow, confusing, or missing key pages, a new build can help. In other cases, we can improve what you already have.
How often do you report results?
We send clear monthly reports, focused on calls, reservations, orders, bookings, and the metrics that actually matter to your bottom line.
Do you help with reviews and reputation?
Yes. We help you earn more positive reviews, respond to feedback, and keep your profiles consistent across major platforms.
How quickly can we get started?
