SEO for restaurants, cafés, pubs and hotels in Ireland
“Best brunch near me.” “Restaurants open now Galway.” Hospitality is won on Google Maps and, more and more, in AI recommendations. We make you the obvious choice in both.
“where should we go for brunch in Ranelagh this Sunday?”

01 / WHAT MATTERS
What decides who gets the booking
Your Google Maps listing
Categories, opening hours, menu link, booking button, and attributes like “outdoor seating”, “vegan options” and “good for kids”.
Photos
Fresh, appetising, real photos of food, rooms and people, updated every month.
Reviews
Volume, recency and replies. Reviews that mention dishes help you show up for those dishes.
Your menu as text
A real web page with your menu, not just a PDF, so Google and AI tools can read your dishes and prices.
02 / AI SEARCH
AI is the new food critic
More people ask ChatGPT or Google’s AI “where should I eat in Galway tonight?” or “best brunch in Ranelagh”. AI tools build those answers from reviews, food guides, directories and restaurant websites. How AI chooses who to recommend
- A clear description of your cuisine, style and location on your homepage
- Listings on TripAdvisor and food guides, with the same details everywhere
- Restaurant schema with menu, price range and opening hours
- Mentions in local food blogs, newspapers and “best of” lists
- A steady flow of reviews, with replies

05 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Should my restaurant menu be a PDF?
Keep the PDF if you like, but add your menu as text on a web page too. Google and AI tools read text far more reliably.
How important are Google reviews for restaurants?
Very. Reviews affect both your map position and whether people choose you. Reply to all of them, especially the critical ones.
Do Google posts help restaurants?
Yes. Weekly posts with photos of specials and events keep your profile fresh and give people a reason to choose you.
Do you work with hotels and B&Bs?
Yes, including tourism and visitor searches. See also SEO in Galway.
