Fill more tables with SEO built for how diners actually search. We help restaurants, cafes, and food service brands win the Map Pack and local 'near me' searches.

We run the same playbook here as everywhere else: technical foundations, local visibility, and content that converts, tuned to the specific keywords and buying behavior of restaurants customers rather than a generic template.

Menu & Cuisine SEO

We optimize menu pages and cuisine-specific content so you rank for dish and cuisine searches, not just your restaurant's name.

πŸ“

Map Pack & 'Near Me' Optimization

We optimize your Google Business Profile, hours, photos, and categories so you dominate the 'restaurants near me' and 'open now' searches that drive walk-ins.

⭐

Review Volume & Reputation Management

We build a repeatable review generation process and help you respond to feedback, since star rating is one of the biggest factors in whether a search turns into a reservation.

πŸŽ‰

Event & Catering Landing Pages

We build dedicated pages for private dining, catering, and event bookings, capturing higher-value searches most restaurant sites never target.

How it runs

From audit to rankings.

01

Local Market & Competitor Audit

We analyze which cuisine, neighborhood, and occasion searches drive the most demand in your area and where you're currently losing visibility.

02

Google Business Profile Overhaul

We rebuild your profile β€” categories, attributes, hours, photos, menu links β€” to match exactly what searchers filter by before choosing a restaurant.

03

Menu & Occasion Content

We build out content around your signature dishes, cuisine type, and dining occasions (date night, group dining, brunch) to capture how people actually search.

04

Reviews & Local Press

We grow your review volume and pursue local food press and blogger coverage to build the authority signals that support Map Pack rankings.

Diners Decide Before They Ever See Your Door

"Best brunch near me," "italian restaurant open now," "restaurants for a date night" β€” most dining decisions get made on a phone, in the Map Pack, before anyone walks in. A great restaurant with a thin Google presence loses to a mediocre one with strong reviews and an optimized profile, every time that search happens.

Marketivv builds SEO specifically for how people choose where to eat: cuisine and occasion driven, review-sensitive, and almost entirely local.

Ranking for Dishes and Cuisine, Not Just Your Name

Most restaurant websites only rank for searches that already include their name. We build content around the cuisine, signature dishes, and dining occasions people actually search before they know which restaurant they want β€” "best tacos in [neighborhood]," "restaurant with a private room for a birthday," "gluten-free friendly [cuisine] restaurant."

Owning the Map Pack

The three-pack under the map is where most "near me" and "open now" searches get decided. We rebuild your Google Business Profile from the ground up: correct categories, complete attributes (outdoor seating, reservations, delivery), current hours including holiday hours, and a steady stream of fresh photos β€” all factors Google and diners both weigh when deciding who shows up first.

Reviews Are Your Menu's First Impression

Before anyone reads your actual menu, they read your star rating. We build a simple, repeatable system for asking happy customers for reviews right after a great visit, and a response process for negative ones that shows prospective diners you take feedback seriously. This is consistently one of the highest-leverage things we do for restaurant clients.

Catering and Private Events: The Revenue Most Sites Ignore

Catering, private dining, and event bookings are often a restaurant's highest-margin revenue line, yet most sites bury this behind a single contact form. We build dedicated, optimized landing pages for these searches, capturing corporate catering and private event inquiries that a generic homepage never surfaces for.

Questions

Restaurants SEO, answered.

Still unsure? Ask us directly. You'll get a straight answer, not a sales call.

We're already on Yelp and DoorDash β€” do we still need SEO?

Yes. Delivery apps and Yelp control the experience and take a cut of every order that flows through them. Ranking directly in Google Search and Maps drives traffic straight to your own site and phone number, where you control pricing and don't pay a platform commission.

How much do reviews actually matter for restaurant rankings?

A lot. Star rating and review recency are among the strongest local ranking signals for restaurants specifically, since Google knows diners actively filter by rating. We build review generation into every campaign, not as an afterthought.

Can you help with multiple locations?

Yes. Each location gets its own optimized Google Business Profile and location page, so a search for your brand in one neighborhood surfaces that specific location instead of competing against your other locations.

Do you write our menu content or just optimize the technical side?

Both. We write SEO-structured menu and cuisine content designed to rank, while making sure your actual menu, hours, and photos stay accurate and easy for your team to update.
