The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Glasgow?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Restaurants in Glasgow need people close by searching "best restaurants", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Diners decide from photos, menus and recent reviews, often in under a minute on their phone.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, Tripadvisor and old directories confuse Google and push your restaurant down the map in Partick.
Rising cost per lead
Ratings swing quickly after a few bad nights if review responses are slow. Paying per click for every Glasgow lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for restaurants.
Google Business Profile optimisation
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your restaurant's profile so it is eligible to rank across Glasgow.
- Primary category set to “Restaurant”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
- Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at Shawlands and Dennistoun
- LocalBusiness schema with exact coordinates on your site
If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
