Covers were inconsistent. The restaurant appeared on Maps but with poor photos, outdated hours, and a low review rating driven by a few unresolved complaints. Online booking wasn't possible, so discovery didn't convert to reservations.
We optimised the Google Business Profile with professional imagery and correct attributes, set up a review-response and generation system that addressed old complaints while inviting new positive reviews, and added a simple online booking flow tied to the CRM so every reservation was tracked.
Map impressions rose, the average rating improved as fresh reviews diluted old ones, and booking became measurable rather than guesswork. The restaurant now knew which days and channels drove covers - and could act on it.
Key takeaways
The principles that travel - beyond this specific engagement.
- 01
For restaurants, Maps and reviews are the storefront - they need active management, not setup-and-forget.
- 02
Old negative reviews can be diluted by a steady flow of new positive ones - if you ask systematically.
- 03
Online booking isn't just convenience; it's the only way to attribute covers to channels.
