Marketing for restaurants & cafés in Los Angeles
More guests from Google Maps, Yelp, and search — with a strategy built on research, complete profiles, and a website that sells your menu.
Restaurants & Cafés
Built around how guests choose where to eat
Most guests decide in a few seconds: they search on Google Maps or Yelp, look at photos, the menu, and reviews, and then call, order, or get directions. Every step of that path has to work.
I start with research — your market, competitors, and guests — to find growth points and what makes you different. Then I fix every place guests look for you: map profiles, your website, and the pages that rank in search.
What I do
- Market, competitor, and guest research with SMART goals
- Google Business Profile and Yelp: menu, photos, hours, attributes
- Review replies and a simple way to collect new reviews
- Website with an online menu and ordering
- Catering and event pages with FAQ and an online price calculator
- SEO pages built around what guests search for
- Schema markup, sitemap, and listings on trusted sites
Case study
Rabbit Coffee — Downtown LA
A specialty coffee shop with a strong Instagram but unclaimed Google and Yelp profiles. I built a marketing strategy with upsell ideas and claimed and optimized both profiles in July 2026. Their old Tilda website had been hacked, so I built a completely new, fast website from scratch. Now in progress: a catering page with FAQ and an online price calculator, modeled on the best catering pages in Los Angeles.

Restaurants & Cafés: questions & answers
Start with a complete Google Business Profile: correct categories, hours, menu, and fresh photos. Then add regular review replies and a website with a clear menu. In our Rabbit Coffee project, monthly calls from Google grew from 2 to 9 in three months after the profile was claimed and optimized.
Yes. A full SEO-ready restaurant website includes an online menu with ordering, so guests can order directly instead of only calling.
No. I work with cafés, coffee shops, and restaurants of different sizes. The approach is the same: research first, then profiles, website, and SEO.
Yes. A dedicated catering page with FAQ and an online price calculator helps you rank for catering searches and makes it easy for customers to request a quote.
