In today’s competitive restaurant market, a website’s ranking in the search engines is a major factor in how popular it will be. Following this post will lead you through how to ensure you have the best of both worlds by creating an optimized website for search engines and having quick access to customer traffic.

Optimize your restaurant website design for the search engines.

• The first step to maximizing your restaurant’s website is to create its foundation. With this foundation, you should spend some time evaluating and reevaluating your restaurant’s needs and wants as they relate to the internet while keeping in mind that a website will be around for a while and that planning out your future growth will improve its value when you need to revamp it later on.

• The second thing you should focus on is creating a Google Analytics account. This free service from Google allows you to see how people find your site (via which search terms, referring sites, etc.)

• Next, you should make sure your restaurant web design is set up to be navigated easily. This way, if you start getting a lot of traffic and need to add new content, it will be easier for you to build on your current site.

• You’ll also want to make sure that your restaurant is listed in all the major restaurant directories. Big directories like Yelp and TripAdvisor allow customers to review the restaurants they’ve visited. You’ll want as much feedback as possible on these sites in order to gauge what your customers like about your restaurant and what they don’t.

• Once the foundational work is done, you can begin adding content to your site that relates specifically to your restaurant. Google loves fresh new content.

Writing for the web

Do not start writing your restaurant’s homepage until you know exactly who is going to be viewing it. It will be useful to have an idea of what people who are looking for your restaurant would search for online. This will help you determine which keywords and phrases to work into the content on your site so that it comes up in as many relevant searches as possible.

Additionally, it helps if you have a good understanding of what search engines like Google look for in a quality page and how they interpret and rank information. There are many books about search engine optimization (SEO) that can help fill this knowledge gap.

Seek advice from professionals about search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM). There is a vast amount of information online about how to write for the web but it can be confusing and sometimes contradictory.

On-page optimization does not guarantee your site will show up in the top rankings of the search engines. It is the quality of your content overall, as well as the backlinking that will determine how well your website performs in search engine results pages.

A decent knowledge of Javascript, CSS, and HTML is important when building a website for SEO purposes since they allow you to manipulate and alter the design and layout of your site. This is especially important for restaurants that want their sites to load fast so customers have an overall positive experience with their website.
