Show up in Google’s top map results


When people search “restaurants near me,” Google shows a short list at the top of the map. If you’re not in that list, most diners won’t find you. And since 76% of nearby searches on smartphones lead to a visit within a day, visibility directly drives covers.

What to fix (the 80/20):

  • Google Business Profile (complete, accurate, active)
  • Reviews (steady flow + fast replies)
  • Website basics (fast, mobile, clear location pages)
  • Local links (a few credible local mentions)
