I have done SEO for a restaurant. What Eric says makes perfect sense. Reviews, good photos, tripadviser, google local and facebook

I'm a website/marketer too...working with my first coffee shop/bar/restaurant - doing a little niche-specific research... I can tell you this is 100% solid advice! Great video. Thanks.

This also says nothing about instagramifying your restaurant. The way people decide to go to restaurants consistently on weekends is when their friends and family are posting pictures of people at the restaurant. Cool drinks, neon quotes/signs, natural lighting, and wall art--all things that restaurants need in order to get people to take pictures there and then have their customers do their own marketing for them.

A little double talk here. He said that websites will be a bit obsolete in 2020, which I agree. But why spend $1, 500 for one? Also, IF you have a simple website, like he recommended, then you can have one done for a lot less. With all the software out there, you can have a professional one done and do it yourself.

[MilVukovic]

Sorry, as I keep listening to this I have to add more. Social media is already pay to play (and has been since 2013). If you're not boosting now, you are missing out.

[KlaasVictor]

Hi! Thank you gor the great content. Can I ask a question? Is there a way to stimulate the clients to rate 5 stars on google? A free coffee perhaps?

[hellokumusta]

I’m taking over an existing restaurant and need help in marketing advise.

I find it kind of confusing man you are saying that there's no need to put a lot of money on the website... However, if you want to rank high it will really help to have a blog and some good articles, recipes and guides. So for a good Seo you also need to invest a little bit on your website... How about that...?
