Restaurant marketing questions we hear most

What's the most important marketing for a new restaurant?

For most restaurants, it starts with being easy to find. A complete, accurate Google Business Profile, steady Google reviews, and a mobile-friendly website with your menu and hours make sure people who are already searching can find you and choose you. Social media and content build on that foundation.

How often should a restaurant post on social media?

Consistency matters more than volume. Most restaurants do well with a steady weekly rhythm they can sustain, mixing food content, behind-the-scenes moments, and timely posts about specials or events. Our posting cadence guide breaks down a realistic schedule by platform.

How do restaurants show up in 'near me' searches on Google?

Google Maps rankings are driven largely by your Google Business Profile: correct categories, hours, photos, menu, and a steady flow of genuine reviews. Your website and other local listings help reinforce that information. Start with our Google Business Profile checklist.

Do restaurants really need professional photos and video?

People decide where to eat with their eyes. Content doesn't need to be overly polished, but it does need to make the food look as good as it tastes. Clear, appetizing photos and short vertical videos tend to outperform generic stock imagery on Instagram, TikTok, and Google.

Is this blog only for Jacksonville restaurants?

We write with Jacksonville in mind because that's where we're based, but most of the advice applies to restaurants, cafes, and bars anywhere in Florida and beyond.
