How to Rank Bar Websites on Google

Here are some SEO strategies that are specifically tailored for sports bars, cocktail bars, beer bars, wine bars, dive bars, karaoke bars, speakeasies, Irish pubs, neighborhood bars, rooftop bars, tiki bars, gay bars, and other bars.

We've grouped them into technical, on-page, and off-page suggestions.

1.) Technical SEO Tips for Bars

Technical SEO refers to optimizing your bar website's infrastructure so it can be properly crawled and indexed by search engines, which includes aspects like site speed, mobile optimization, XML sitemaps, and structured data markup. This ensures search engines can easily access, understand, and rank the website's content.

We can help out with all of these items and more, or you can handle them on your own:

• Ensure that your bar's website has a responsive design that works well desktop, small laptop, tablet, and mobile devices. There are a lot of screen sizes out there to accomodate. On a desktop computer, you can resize your browser window from large to small to see how different layout elements adjust for smaller screen sizes.
• Check your bar's website speed using a tool like Google PageSpeed Insights. Don't get caught up trying to pass Core Web Vitals. It isn't always possible on complex websites and might not be worth the investment. Instead, try to fix simple things to get a score of 60+.
• Use HTTPS encryption to secure your bar's website. Most hosting companies offer free SSL certificates that you can use.
• Create an XML sitemap for your bar's website and submit it to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to help search engines crawl and index your website better.
• Implement local business schema markup to help search engines understand the content on your website.
• Use canonical tags to avoid duplicate content issues if you have the same content available on multiple URLs of your bar's website.
• Regularly monitor your bar's website crawl errors and fix them promptly. You can find such errors in Google Search Console.

2.) On-Page SEO Tips for Bars

On-page SEO involves optimizing each page of your bar website to rank higher and earn more relevant traffic in search engines. This often focuses on elements like keyword presence, meta tags, quality of content, user experience, page organization, and internal linking.

We can help out with all of these items and more, or you can handle them on your own:

• Create high-quality, original content related to your bar that targets your audience's search intent. While ChatGTP is a popular content writing tool, don't rely solely on AI content. It is often generic, repetitive, and/or inaccurate. Be sure to proofread content before you post it.
• Include relevant keywords related to your bar in your website's page titles and meta descriptions.
• Optimize the headings and subheadings on your bar's website with relevant target keywords.
• Use bar-related target keywords in image alt tags to provide context for your website's images.
• Use internal linking to help search engines understand the structure and hierarchy of your bar's website.
• Use descriptive URLs that contain relevant bar-related keywords on your website.
• Display customer reviews and testimonials prominently on your bar's website to build trust and credibility.
• Scan your bar's website for broken links and fix them immediately. You can use this free tool from Ahrefs to scan for broken links.

3.) Off-Page SEO Tips for Bars

Off-page SEO involves all the actions taken outside of your bar website to impact your rankings within search engine results pages (SERPs). This includes strategies like link building, social media marketing, and reputation management. Such efforts help increase your website's reputation, authority, and visibility online.

We can help out with all of these items and more, or you can handle them on your own:

• Build quality backlinks from relevant websites, such as local directories or entertainment blogs.
• Create and maintain a strong presence on social media to engage with customers and build brand awareness.
• Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews on Google My Business and other relevant review sites.
• Collaborate with other local businesses to cross-promote services and build backlinks.
• Create listings in local bar directories and citation sites to increase your website's visibility.
• Create shareable and informative content related to the bar industry, such as cocktail recipes, bartending tips, or fun bar trivia.
• Make videos to showcase your establishment's ambiance and atmosphere and build engagement with customers.
• Monitor your bar's online reputation and respond promptly to customer feedback and reviews. You should respond to negative reviews, too - not just positive ones.

We can review your website and rankings, then provide a recommendation on which areas of technical, on-page, and off-page search engine optimization need the most attention. This will help establish a budget and scope for ranking you higher in search results!
