Sound familiar?

The food isn't the problem.

Saturday is packed and Tuesday is empty, and nothing you try moves the middle of the week.
A third of every delivery order goes to the app, and those guests never become yours.
The restaurant two doors down ranks above you on Maps with worse food and newer reviews.
Half your neighborhood searches in Spanish, and everything you publish is in English.
You have hundreds of happy guests and a dozen reviews, most of them from last year.
Your menu is a PDF, so Google can't read a single dish you serve.
What we do for restaurants

Everything between a hungry person and your door.

Each item is its own engagement, or part of a bundle built around what your restaurant actually needs.

Google Business Profile and Maps

We set your exact cuisine category instead of a generic "Restaurant", add geotagged photos and a menu Google can actually read, post regularly, and keep your hours right through the holidays. We keep your name, address, and phone consistent across 30 to 50 directories.

Reviews, in every language your guests write in

We collect reviews by QR code on the check and by text. We monitor Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, OpenTable, and Facebook. We reply in English, Spanish, and Russian, to every review, not only the angry ones.

Delivery app optimization

We audit your Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub listings against your three closest competitors: photography, item copy, category placement, pricing, and promo mechanics.

Direct ordering on your own site

We build first-party ordering that bypasses the 25 to 35% aggregator commission, with loyalty and incentives that move regulars off third-party apps. You manage one menu in one place, so nothing drifts.

Multilingual content and video

We produce reels, carousels, and stories in three languages with a local Miami voice, plus short-form video built from your own dish photos. No shoot required.

AI voice agent, 24/7

It answers the phone during service, handles reservations, hours, address, menu, and dietary questions, and routes anything complex to a host. It cuts missed calls from 20 to 40% down to under 5%.

Slow-day revival

We analyze open data and your POS to find your weakest hours and days, then build a promo plan specifically for them: lunch menus, themed nights, and office partnerships.

Operations, when you need it

We write technical recipe cards, station playbooks, service rhythm, delivery packaging, and hiring and onboarding, and we run mystery shopping. You can get an assessment only, a full build, or ongoing support.

By neighborhood

Where you are matters as much as what you serve.

Questions owners actually ask

Straight answers. No fluff.

How do I get my restaurant to show up on Google?

Three things decide it: a complete, correctly categorized Google Business Profile (set to your exact cuisine, not a generic "Restaurant"), a steady flow of recent reviews, and consistent business details across the web. A crawlable HTML menu helps you rank for specific dishes. Most independent restaurants leave half of their profile blank, and that's usually the gap.

Why isn't my restaurant showing up on Google Maps?

Usually the profile is incomplete or in the wrong category, the reviews are thin or stale, the address and phone don't match across listings, or the menu is a PDF Google can't read. Google ranks the Maps three-pack on relevance, distance, and prominence, and reviews plus a complete profile drive prominence.

How do I get more Google reviews for my restaurant?

Ask in the moment, right when the meal lands and the guest is happy, and make it one tap with a QR code on the check or the table. Restaurants that pull in three to five new reviews a week tend to climb the local rankings. Reply to every review in the language it was written in. Never buy reviews. Google filters and penalizes them.

How do I get my restaurant recommended by ChatGPT or AI?

AI assistants answer "where should I eat?" by pulling from your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and trusted directories, not from ads. To get recommended, keep a complete profile, a steady stream of recent reviews, a readable menu, and consistent listings. The same signals that win Google Maps win AI search.

Do I still need a website if I'm on DoorDash and Uber Eats?

Yes. Delivery apps take 25 to 35% per order and own the customer relationship. Your own site, with a crawlable menu and direct ordering, gets you found on Google and in AI search for free, and it lets you keep both the margin and the guest data.

How much does restaurant marketing cost?

It depends on what you actually need. Many independents waste money on services that don't move the needle. The highest-return work (Google Business Profile, reviews, local SEO) often costs less than one month of aggregator commissions. We start every engagement with a free five-page audit, so you see exactly where you stand first.

Why is my competitor ranking higher than me on Google?

It's almost never the food. It's usually visibility. They probably have a more complete profile, more recent reviews, the right category, and consistent listings. Same block, same prices, but they show up and you don't. These are fixable signals, not luck.

How do I market my restaurant to a multilingual neighborhood?

Meet guests in the language they search in. In areas like Miami-Dade, where most households speak a language other than English, a multilingual Google profile, menu, and reviews put you in front of guests your English-only competitors miss.

How long does restaurant SEO take to work?

There's no guaranteed timeline, but the fastest-moving signals (Google Business Profile, reviews, and listings) shift within a few weeks of consistent work. Broader local SEO compounds over months. Consistency matters more than a one-time fix.

What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO for restaurants?

Local SEO gets you into "near me" and map searches, and your Google Business Profile, reviews, citations, and proximity drive it. Regular organic SEO ranks web pages for broader searches. For a restaurant, local SEO usually fills more tables, faster.
