Local SEO
Citations, listings, and location signals cleaned up so you own your neighborhood's "near me" searches — the foundation of every campaign.
Your food is already good enough to sell out every night. The problem is that hungry people searching "best dinner near me" can't find you — they find the place three doors down. We fix exactly that.
Why it matters
Nobody opens page two of Google to pick where to eat. They tap the first three results, glance at the photos and reviews, and book. If you're not in that top handful, you're invisible at the exact second someone decides where to spend money tonight.
It's the work that gets your restaurant to show up first when someone searches Google, taps the Google Map Pack, or asks an AI assistant like ChatGPT where to eat nearby — by tuning your website, Google Business Profile, menu, reviews, and technical signals to how diners actually search.
The real problem
Great restaurants lose customers every night — not because the kitchen slipped, but because they never showed up in the search. Sound familiar?
The spot down the street shows up first for "restaurants near me" — so their tables fill while yours sit empty on a Friday.
You're not in the Map Pack — the three results diners actually tap. If Google can't place you, hungry locals never find you.
Search engines can't read a menu locked in a PDF. So you never rank for "vegan tacos" or "gluten-free pizza" — the exact dishes people search.
DoorDash and Uber Eats take 20–30% per order. Without direct-order visibility, you're renting customers you should own.
Diners ask ChatGPT and Gemini for "a good date-night spot." If your data isn't structured for AI, you're left out of the answer entirely.
A generic agency ran a checklist built for plumbers, not restaurants. You got a report every month and zero extra bookings.
What's included
One connected strategy — not a menu of add-ons. Every piece below works toward the same goal: more reservations, more direct orders, more walk-ins.
Citations, listings, and location signals cleaned up so you own your neighborhood's "near me" searches — the foundation of every campaign.
We optimize your Google Business Profile so you land in the top-three map results diners tap before they ever scroll.
We turn your PDF menu into crawlable, structured content so you rank for the specific dishes people are searching for right now.
Fast load times, mobile-first pages, clean crawlability. A slow site loses diners before the homepage even finishes loading.
Recent, positive reviews are a top ranking signal. We build a steady stream of them and keep your response game sharp.
Structured data spells out your hours, menu, prices, and reservations so Google and AI show rich, trustworthy results.
Distinct, non-duplicate location pages so every branch ranks in its own market instead of competing with itself.
We optimize for ChatGPT, Gemini, and voice search so your restaurant is the answer when diners ask an assistant where to eat.
How it works
No jargon, no 40-page audits you'll never read. A clear path, and progress you can actually see on the calendar.
We audit your rankings, your Google Business Profile, and your top competitors to see exactly which searches you're losing — and why.
We rebuild your local presence: profile, menu, location pages, reviews, schema, and site speed — all tuned to how diners search.
You climb into the Map Pack and top results, more diners book direct, and we report the numbers that matter: calls, orders, covers.
Be honest
You could learn SEO between the lunch and dinner rush. Or you could run your restaurant and let a specialist handle the part that actually fills seats.
Real numbers
Averages from restaurants we've worked with. Your market and starting point set the pace — but the direction is always the same: up.
Why KodRank
We're a web development and SEO agency that lives in local search. No generic playbooks — everything is built for how diners actually decide where to eat.
We target cuisine, location, and intent — "best brunch near me," not vague keywords that never convert.
Structured, clear content so ChatGPT, Gemini, and voice assistants recommend you by name.
No vanity metrics. We track the things that pay the rent: calls, bookings, direct orders, and covers.
We drive traffic to your own booking and ordering, so you keep the margin third-party apps skim off the top.
From single spots to growing groups — each location ranks in its own market without cannibalizing the others.
SEO compounds. Unlike ads, the visibility you build with us keeps working after the campaign matures.
Good questions
Most restaurants see early Map Pack movement within 2–4 weeks, with meaningful jumps in traffic and reservations around the 3–6 month mark. Competitive markets take longer, but the gains keep compounding — that's the difference between SEO and paid ads that stop the moment you stop spending.
Most agencies run a generic checklist that treats a restaurant like any other local business. Diners don't search like that. We build everything around real dining intent — cuisine searches, "near me" queries, menu terms, and reviews — plus AI and voice search. It's a strategy for restaurants, not a template.
Yes. Multi-location work is one of our specialties. We build distinct, non-duplicate location pages and optimize each Google Business Profile so every branch ranks in its own neighborhood instead of competing against your other locations for the same searches.
That's a core part of what we do. We structure your data and content so AI assistants and voice search can confidently recommend your restaurant when someone asks for "a good pizza place nearby" — a discovery channel most of your competitors are ignoring right now.
Pricing depends on your market, competition, and number of locations, so we quote it after a quick look at your current visibility. The free visibility check comes first — no commitment — so you can see exactly what's holding your rankings back before you decide anything.
Very little. After a short kickoff to understand your restaurant, we handle the work and send clear monthly updates. You keep running service; we keep the rankings climbing.
