When someone searches "best Italian near me," do they find you?
Yelp, DoorDash, and Google Maps dominate restaurant searches. Your own website is an afterthought — unless you make it the first thing they see.
The problems every restaurants business knows
Third-party platforms take the top spots
Yelp, DoorDash, UberEats, and Google Maps absorb most restaurant-related search traffic. Your website competes for whatever’s left.
Commission fees eat your margins
Delivery platforms charge 15–30% per order. Every order through your own website instead is pure margin recovered.
Review platforms control your reputation
A single bad Yelp review can tank your visibility. You need to own the conversation — on Google, on your site, in your own words.
Your menu isn’t optimized for search
Google can’t read a PDF menu. If your menu isn’t in searchable HTML text with the right markup, you’re invisible for dish-specific searches.
