Before and after · 5 fixes

A Google page makeover, before and after

Here is a made-up restaurant, “Olive & Ember”. Its Google page said “Closed” at 6 pm on a Friday. It had one photo of an empty grey room, no menu and no way to book. Reviews had no reply.

Same food. Same place. These 5 fixes make it much easier to pick.

  • The before: a quiet Google profile with wrong hours and no menu (made-up example)

“Olive & Ember” is a made-up example, not a real restaurant. No real results are shown.

The 5 fixes

  1. Hours that are true

    Fix the hours and add public holidays. “Closed” when you are open sends people somewhere else.

  2. Photos of the food, not the chairs

    Swap the empty room for 3 close, bright plates. People choose with their eyes.

  3. Your menu with prices

    Add your menu right on Google. A price stops the “is it expensive?” worry.

  4. A “Book a table” button

    Connect your booking system so a “Book a table” button shows. Booking at 10 pm should take seconds.

  5. A reply to every review

    Thank people by name and mention the dish. New guests read your replies before they book.
