Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign up for all 35 platforms at once?

No. Start with Google Business Profile, which is essential, then add 2 or 3 platforms based on your customer base: TheFork if you want more bookings, TripAdvisor for tourists, Instagram for a younger crowd. Expand gradually from there: an incomplete or never-updated listing does more harm than good.

Is it free to list your restaurant on these platforms?

The basic listing is free on the vast majority of them: Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, directories and social networks. Booking and delivery platforms charge a commission or subscription fee, and some guides offer paid options. Check the pricing model before committing.

How do I keep information consistent across all platforms?

Use the exact same name, address, phone number and opening hours everywhere: inconsistencies confuse Google and drive customers away. Keep a list of all your listings and update them as soon as anything changes, especially opening hours around public holidays and vacation periods.
