Read on if you want your restaurant to rank higher in search engines!
We work with a wide variety of restaurants. The SEO services discussed below will help provide search engine optimization for restaurants and even:
We would like to carefully assess your restaurant website and its backlink profile before committing to an search engine optimization project.
Through this review process, we can better understand all aspects of your website's SEO, including its technical, on-page, and off-page factors. We use this approach as it is the best way (in our opinion) to begin restaurant SEO, in contrast to making changes to your website without a well-defined strategy.
To assist you in understanding the scope of our professional search engine optimization services, let's explore each of these areas of restaurant SEO and discuss them in detail:
Technical SEO is familiar to most restaurants.
This often involves increasing site performance, passing Google Core Web Vitals, implementing SSL security, fixing mobile problems, removing duplicate content, creating XML sitemaps, adding structured data, setting up Google Search Console, and fixing concerns discovered in your SEO scan.
We have a talented group of in-house website developers for restaurants that can help fix all your technical SEO glitches in WordPress or Shopify.
It's often the case that restaurants hate doing on-page SEO themselves since they're not comfortable with content writing. That isn't an issue to us, we enjoy content creation!
We develop a detailed content plan for your targeted search phrases by performing keyword research and competitor review. This helps our in-house content writers compose 750-4,000 word articles for blog posts, service descriptions, guest posts, and other purposes.
In addition to that, we also offer restaurants on-site search engine optimization improvements like writing meta descriptions, optimizing page titles, fixing heading tags, building content silos, designing infographics and videos, and reducing keyword cannibalization.
When we look at various restaurant backlink profiles, we often notice they've forgotten about off-page search engine optimization. You might want to check your backlink quality if you've been struggling for years to get off the second or third page of search results.
With our backlink analysis services, we help restaurants detect malicious or spammy backlinks, including PBNs. We then put together SEO recommendations for restaurants for white-hat link building including guest posting, niche / curated edits, HARO outreach, social citations, NAP citations, and more!
The cost of our managed SEO services is determined by the amount of time you're able to set aside in your marketing budget for SEO. Although we're more than happy to work with budgets starting at $800 per month, many of our customers have significantly higher budgets that we work with regularly.

We offer franchise, enterprise, ecommerce, and local search engine optimization campaigns for restaurants, so one of those should be helpful for your restaurant search engine optimization service. If you choose WebCitz for your digital marketing plan, we'll assemble a custom SEO service for your restaurants.
Localized SEO plans are what we do most often for restaurants. More than likely, this is because so many nearby restaurants are searching for help improving their rankings in search engine results.
For example, restaurants in Chicago would want to be seen higher in organic search results for "Chicago restaurants." The work would include performing a local SEO audit of your site, optimizing Google My Business, performing onsite optimizations, doing LSI phrasing keyword research, fixing your backlink quality, reviewing your business citations, managing your online reputation, and possibly even optimizing your conversion rate. Your restaurant can show up higher in Google Maps with these types of SEO improvements.
The budgets for local SEO campaigns for restaurants are often $800 or more per month. This budget is shared between technical, on-page, and off-page SEO tasks.
We also offer enterprise-level SEO for large search engine optimization projects, which involves a much more robust SEO plan than placing a location-based small business.
In most cases, this means targeting very competitive keywords on a national level or managing search engine optimization of a huge website. We can leverage content optimization and keyword research tools like Surfer SEO and Ahrefs to help you formulate an effective search engine optimization strategy. During an enterprise SEO service, you can expect to see our SEO team work hard to audit your restaurant website and its past SEO work, build out a content marketing plan, then move onto off-page, technical, and on-page search engine optimization campaigns.
The recommended budget of enterprise SEO for restaurants usually starts at $8,000 per month. This budget is shared between technical, on-page, and off-page SEO tasks.
Just like nearby SEO, our franchise search engine optimization plans are tailored to franchises. This form of search engine optimization helps improve local visibility for each of your restaurant locations.
In this case, we do all the local SEO campaigns described above, but for each location of your franchise. Optimizing multiple Google My Business profiles, performing search engine optimization on a much more complex website, possibly handling franchisee requests, and placing for franchise opportunity keywords are some of the major differences.
The average franchise SEO service for restaurants costs $2,000 or more each month. This budget is shared between technical, on-page, and off-page SEO tasks.
Our specialty is helping you rank your storefront's online products and services better. This type of online digtal marketing is necessary for any ecommerce small business.

WordPress is the most popular CMS for restaurants.

This is often the most popular ecommerce platform for smaller ecommerce ventures and startups.
Restaurants on Shopify often need help improving page content, setting up SEO-friendly product collections, writing product descriptions, fixing theme concerns, fixing broken links, and more! Learn more about our Shopify SEO options.
If you're searching for search engine optimization firms working with restaurants, make sure to ask if they have in-house website developers or if you'll need to hire an outside company for that.
Here are our top SEO recommendations for restaurants looking to improve their online visibility, attract more customers, and increase their revenue. These SEO tips apply to fine dining restaurants, casual dining restaurants, fast food restaurants, family-style restaurants, ethnic restaurants, seafood restaurants, steakhouse restaurants, vegetarian restaurants, pizzerias, food trucks, and other restaurants.
Looking for suggested keywords to target within the SEO campaign for your restaurant? We've got you covered!
Before starting an SEO service for a restaurant, we like to scan the website and see what you've got to work with for content and link authority.
From there, we'll check to see what types of cuisine or dishes you'd like to promote in your area. Maybe you just launched a new menu and want to attract more diners. Perhaps you just don't feel like you are getting enough traffic to your website or social media channels.
Having this information helps us determine what types of keywords to focus on for content writing and link building.
Pro Tip #1: Restaurants often target keywords related to their cuisine, menu, and location. This helps you attract diners who are searching for a specific type of cuisine or restaurant nearby.
Pro Tip #2: You should consider targeting long-tail keywords, which are more specific and less competitive. For example, "vegan brunch options in Portland" may be easier to rank for than just "brunch".
