Claiming your Google listing for restaurants

In the works

We haven't finished writing the rubric for this one, so it won't appear in your comparison yet. It's here so you know what's coming — and the advice below still holds if you want to get ahead of it.

Why it matters here

An unclaimed listing is the one problem that makes every other fix pointless. Until it's yours, you can't set hours, reply to reviews, or stop bad information from sticking.

Someone's hungry, nearby, and scrolling. They're looking at your photos, today's hours, and whether the menu loads. Anything missing and they're at the next place on the list.

What decides it for restaurants

Hours that are right, including holidays

Food photos that look like your food

A menu that opens on a phone without pinching

This one is compared on the same rubric for every trade. We haven't written restaurants-specific benchmarks for it yet.
