The local search gap

Diners are searching. Three competitors are answering.

When a local searches “best Italian near me”, three restaurants own the map pack. The good news: the same playbook works for you, and most of your competition isn’t using it.

  • Your Google Business Profile is missing what Google uses to rank you.
  • You have no neighborhood pages for “best [cuisine] in [area]”.
  • ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend competitors, not you.
  • Your reservation flow loses mobile diners on the way to OpenTable.

FAQ

Restaurant SEO, straight answers.

The questions Vancouver operators ask us most often. If yours isn’t here, the booking link below goes straight to my calendar.

Ask a question →
Most restaurants see meaningful local visibility lifts within 4 to 8 weeks. Map pack and Google Business Profile work moves first, then long-tail neighborhood pages and AI citations layer on through months 2 to 4. We guarantee a minimum 10-20% traffic increase or we keep working until we deliver it.
No. We work with restaurants across Greater Vancouver including Downtown, East Vancouver, the West Side, Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano, Gastown, North Shore, Burnaby, Richmond, and New Westminster. Suburban and transit-radius restaurants are often the highest-leverage SEO opportunities in the region.
Yes. Profile rebuild, primary and secondary categories, menu and reservation links, photo strategy, weekly posts, review prompts and response templates, Q&A seeding, and map-pack tuning are part of every plan from Foundation up.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is how you get cited inside ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Diners increasingly ask AI “best [cuisine] restaurant in [neighborhood]”. If you are not in those answers, you are invisible to a fast-growing share of high-intent diners. Restaurants are one of the AI search categories with the steepest growth curves.
No. All plans are month-to-month. You can cancel anytime, no penalty. Most clients stay because the work compounds, not because they’re locked in.
Yes. We optimize the path from search to seated diner: reservation widget placement, schema for menus and opening hours, OpenTable / Resy / Tock listing optimization, and tracking which keywords actually drive booked covers. Search is worthless without reservations attached.
Yes. Senior in-house writers handle every page. We do not outsource. Every page is briefed by a strategist, written for AI citation, and shipped on your existing CMS. We don’t use AI-generated mass content, the algorithms are getting smarter at detecting it and it doesn’t rank.
You get a live reporting dashboard tracking rankings, organic traffic, AI citations, reservation conversion, and revenue impact. Plus a weekly written update from a real strategist, not a templated PDF, and a strategy call cadence based on your plan.
