The problem

Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand New Orleans?

01

Rankings, but no calls

Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Restaurants in New Orleans need people close by searching "best restaurants", not readers from the other end of the country.

02

Losing "near me" searches

Diners decide from photos, menus and recent reviews, often in under a minute on their phone.

03

Messy listings and schema

Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, Yelp and old directories confuse Google and push your restaurant down the map in Marigny.

04

Rising cost per lead

Ratings swing quickly after a few bad nights if review responses are slow. Paying per click for every New Orleans lead gets expensive fast.

How we work

How we do local SEO for restaurants.

Google Business Profile optimization

Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your restaurant's profile so it is eligible to rank across New Orleans.

  • 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 French Quarter and Garden District
  • LocalBusiness schema with exact coordinates on your site
Why this matters

If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.

Citations & directories we build for restaurants

  • OpenTable
  • Tripadvisor
  • DoorDash
  • Uber Eats
  • Grubhub
  • Google Business Profile
