Restaurant SEO
Restaurant SEO is the work of making your restaurant the one diners find when they search for where to eat, on Google, in Google Maps and in AI answers. SEO Experts Ottawa builds and runs that search strategy for restaurants and restaurant groups. We are based in Ottawa and work with businesses across Canada.

Diners decide quickly. They search a cuisine, an occasion or “near me”, open the map, scan photos, check the menu and hours, then reserve or call within minutes. Most of that decision happens on your Business Profile before anyone visits your site. Restaurant SEO makes every step accurate and worth choosing:
- Google Business Profile: categories, hours including holidays, menu, photos, and reservation and ordering links that work.
- Menu: a text menu on your site, not only a PDF, so search engines and AI answers can read dishes and dietary options.
- Occasion pages: private dining, group bookings, catering, patio and brunch, each with its own page.
- Reviews: a steady flow of recent reviews, with replies that sound like the restaurant.
- Tracking: calls, reservations and direction requests by source, so you see which searches fill tables.
Why restaurants work with us
We operate more than 130 ranked local sites of our own, and we apply the same four-phase method, shown below, to a restaurant’s market. You see the work each month, and an executive briefing ties every change to covers, events and revenue.
How a restaurant engagement starts
- You apply and tell us about your locations, your seating and the occasions you want more of.
- We review where you appear for your cuisine and area, who outranks you and what that position is worth.
- We agree first-90-day milestones in writing before the engagement begins.
Engagements start at CA$4,800 a month with a six-month minimum. The work suits restaurants and groups where private dining, events or several locations make search worth the investment.
