Google Places and restaurant - The MAP on the Outside is Critical

Google Places for Restaurant Marketing should be a big priority for anyone who hopes to be a threat in their local market.  After you've completed the basics outlined in the PAGES section of this blog, you need to step up the effort to the best of your ability on Reviews, Coupons, and Citations.  Everyone in the business of the local search engine agrees that you will need to get as many reviews as you can on Yelp, CitySearch, YellowPages.com and all other local search engines if you're looking to compete.  In the restaurant business, you will need listings as well as reviews in the specific Restaurant directories, and need to be front row center on the mobile device listings.  This is a big plate to finish, but your future might very well depend on it.

However, the big hype is getting outside on the MAP.  Getting that position ultimately depends on getting all those reviews, citations, and having an active coupon.  Methods for getting your reviews will be the subject of a post soon to come.

For most restaurants, spending several thousands of dollars per month on prints, radio, AdPac, and everything else, is pretty much the minimum you can do.  For just $1000 to $2000, you can get major permanent online positioning that will last for years to come.  You can try it yourself by reading these pages and subscribing to the posts, or you can have it done by a pro.  If you're inclined to just get it done, call 310-910-1848.

A website with great local SEO is a main part of the way to get you on the outside MAP.  Local SEO is just one of our many specialties.
