Nowadays, one of the easiest and most efficient way to promote your restaurant activity is through the Internet. Indeed, building online visibility is key to the success of your restaurant as it will bring you many opportunities to promote your restaurant and stand out from competition. 

It is truly key to master online strategy as it’s always evolving and providing unlimited  possibilities to promote your activity.

This is why being guided through this process is core so let’s see together how and why you must build a strong online visibility for your restaurant ! 

The benefits of building a strong restaurant Online visibility 

First of all, having an online presence will increase your restaurant awareness,by creating a showcase page which will drive potential customer’s attention and convince them to book a table at your restaurant. 

For that, you can create a dedicated website and also join an online booking platform which will host your restaurant’s page. 

Then, with great appealing pictures, your menu, basic information (opening hours, contact number…) and review from clients, you will have a strong basis to attract potential customers.  

Indeed, the goal here is to attract as many potential customers as possible. For that you must display good quality content and reliable information. The key here is to show your professionalism but also bring some guarantees regarding the experience that you are proposing at your restaurant. The people who visit your page must have an overview of the quality of your service & food. 

You will have access to numerous ways to interact with customers, answering questions, responding to comments and reviews of your customers. It is very important to pay attention to customer’s feedback as the decision to book or not in your restaurants will be highly influenced by your online reputation. So don’t hesitate to reply to every review whether they are good or not. Being reactive is the best way for you to keep your reputation under control and then be able to adapt yourself to meet the customer's expectations.

After having built a wonderful showcase page and a good online restaurant reputation you can now start to use your online visibility to promote your activity. Indeed, now that you have a platform where users can discover and be seduced by your restaurant you can start to attract them through emailing campaigns or social media advertisements.
