Local SEO for Restaurants in Québec

WHAT'S COSTING YOU RIGHT NOW

Sound familiar?

Tick 2 out of 4 boxes and your local SEO is leaving covers on the table every night.

Your restaurant doesn't rank in the Google Maps top 3

01

Customers type "pizza near me" or "sushi downtown". You're on page 2. 76% of local searches lead to a visit within 24 hours, but only the top 3 get traffic. The rest is noise.

You have under 50 Google reviews and the average is below 4.5 stars

02

Customers compare before booking. When your competitor has 312 reviews at 4.7 and you have 24 at 4.2, you lose the ticket without them ever looking at your menu.

Your Google Business Profile looks like a 2017 draft

03

No recent photos, no menu, outdated hours, no booking button. Google ranks incomplete listings lower and customers move on without clicking.

Your food is incredible but nobody knows it

04

You don't rank for "best tartare downtown", "Sunday brunch Mile-End", "terrace restaurant Old Port". The queries that bring new customers all go to competitors.

Frequently asked questions

How long before my restaurant shows up in the top 3?

For a restaurant with an existing listing and at least 20 reviews, we aim for the top 3 in 60-90 days in moderately competitive neighborhoods. For hyper-competitive areas (Old Montreal, Plateau, Old Québec), it's more like 3-6 months. We give you an honest estimate after the audit, not before.

We only have 12 Google reviews and our average is 3.8. Can it be fixed?

Yes. A low rating usually comes from 2-3 negative reviews that weigh disproportionately. We install a system that asks for reviews at the right moment (right after the bill is paid, by SMS or table QR code). In 90 days, most of our clients go from under 20 reviews to 100+ and the average mechanically climbs back above 4.5.

We're on OpenTable / Uber Eats / DoorDash. Do you manage those too?

Yes. These platforms count as local citations and send signals to Google. We make sure your NAP (Name-Address-Phone) is identical everywhere, optimize listings on these platforms, and link them to your Google profile. But our job is to reduce your dependency on platforms by driving more direct bookings (no commission).

How much does it cost?

Our local SEO engagements for restaurants start at $1,200/month (one location) and scale based on the number of locations and added services (Google Ads, social media, AI voice agent for réservations). Free Google Maps audit to propose a plan tailored to your situation.

Which cities in Québec do you work with?

We work with restaurants in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Québec City, Levis, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres, Gatineau and Saguenay. The method is the same everywhere, what changes is local competitive analysis and neighborhood-specific keywords.
