How to appear on Google Maps with your restaurant (2025 guide)

W By: Webuno

If you own a restaurant and you are not on Google Maps, you are losing customers every day. In this guide we walk you through how to claim your Google Business Profile, optimise it, and start showing up when nearby diners search for a place to eat.

1. Claim your Google Business listing

Go to business.google.com and search for your restaurant. If it already exists, claim it. If not, create it from scratch. You will need to verify ownership via postcard, phone call or email.

2. Complete all the information

Exact name, address, phone, opening hours, main category (Restaurant), secondary categories, website URL, quality photos and a description with local keywords.

3. Get reviews

Reviews are the number one factor for appearing in the local map pack. Ask your customers to leave a review after a great experience. A simple QR code on the table with a direct link works very well.
