Visibility on Google

When someone nearby is hungry, they need to find you.

90% of customers choose their restaurant from Google and Maps, and almost all of them stop at the first three results. We take your Google Business Profile to its best and keep it there: photos, reviews, posts, opening hours, every week.

Where do people really decide where to eat?

They decide on Google and Google Maps: someone searches for 'restaurant' plus the area, looks at the first three results with the map, the so-called local pack, compares stars and photos, and calls or books. All in under a minute, almost always without ever opening a website.

The local pack is the real heart of local dining: those who make it in receive the majority of the area's phone calls, direction requests and bookings. Those left out compete for the scraps.

And those three spots can't be bought: they're earned with a complete, active and consistent Google Business Profile. That's exactly the work we do.

How does Google choose who to show in the top three results?

Google ranks local results on three factors: relevance (how well the profile describes what the user is searching for), distance and prominence (how well known and trusted the restaurant is: reviews, photos, recent activity, consistent citations across the web). Distance can't be controlled; relevance and prominence can. We work on those two.

RelevanceWe work here

Categories, services and descriptions that tell Google what you are, exactly for what customers search.

DistanceCan't be controlled

It depends on where the searcher is. It's the only factor no one can influence.

ProminenceWe work here

Reviews, photos, recent activity and consistent citations across the web: how well known and trusted the restaurant is.

What it means to manage a Google Business Profile every week

Managing a Google Business Profile means keeping it alive: publishing professional photos and posts, updating the menu, opening hours and holidays, replying to every review, staying on top of questions and answers, correcting the data on Maps. An active profile signals to Google that the restaurant is trustworthy, and to anyone looking, that it's worth a visit.

Photos and content that make people hungry

Photos are the first thing people look at and one of the strongest signals for Google. We keep up a steady flow of professional images of dishes, the dining room and details, sorted into the right categories.

Reviews: more stars, carefully crafted replies

We build a continuous flow of genuine reviews, including with our physical review cards on the table, and reply to all of them, positive and negative, in your restaurant's tone of voice.

Menu, hours and data always accurate

Wrong opening hours on a bank holiday cost you customers and negative reviews. We keep the menu, prices, hours and services up to date, with name, address and phone number consistent across the whole web.

Posts and updates every week

Daily specials, events, seasonal menus: posts on Google show the restaurant is alive and catch searches in real time. We publish them for you, with a calendar built around your seasonality.

Watching over Maps and local search

We monitor the profile's ranking, correct unwanted changes and report duplicates or competitors playing dirty. And since ChatGPT and Gemini also draw on Google and Maps, a flawless profile makes you recommendable by AI too.

All of this, every week

Not once and done: a living profile is ongoing work. We do it, you see the results.

Frequently asked questions about Google Business Profile and Maps

How long does it take to climb on Google Maps?
The first improvements show within 4-8 weeks of consistent management; establishing yourself firmly in the local pack usually takes 2-4 months, depending on the competition in your area. We always start with an audit that captures where you stand today.
I already have my profile: isn't that enough?
Having the profile is the starting point, not the finish line. Google rewards active profiles: new photos, posts, reviews with replies, up-to-date data. A dormant profile slips down even if it's complete.
Do negative reviews penalise me?
A few negative reviews are normal and make the profile credible. What penalises you is not replying, or replying badly. We handle every reply and build a flow of positive reviews that rebalances the average.
What's different from doing it yourself?
Consistency and craft. The profile needs feeding every week with the right content for the algorithm, while you've got a restaurant to run. We do it for hundreds of restaurants and we know what works, area by area.
Is it worth it even if I already have plenty of regulars?
Yes: regulars know you, but tourists, new residents and anyone planning a special dinner look for you on Maps. Every day your area generates searches that today go to the competitors in the local pack.
