01 — The Opportunity

Why Search Works Differently for Restaurants.

THE MOMENT

Hungry Now, Deciding Fast

Restaurant search is immediate: “best tacos near me,” tonight. The map pack plus photos plus reviews decide in seconds — that whole surface is optimizable.

THE MENU TRAP

PDFs Don't Rank

Dish and cuisine searches are huge, but a PDF menu is invisible to search. An indexable menu turns every dish into a doorway.

WHAT BUILDS TRUST

Photos and Freshness

Recent photos, current hours, active reviews — staleness reads as closed. Profile freshness is a ranking and a conversion factor at once.

02 — Who You Work With

Restaurant SEO, Done Directly.

Connor Cedro, SEO consultant

Hey, I'm Connor. Restaurant search is won on the map and the menu — be the obvious choice in the pack, and let every dish rank on its own. I'm a SEMrush-certified SEO consultant with an MBA from SMU's Cox School of Business, based in Tampa and working with restaurants nationwide. You work with me directly — no account managers, no contracts.

08 — The Playbook

The Restaurants Playbook.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Rank the Signature Dish

“Best [dish] in [city]” searches are constant and winnable — the restaurant whose page and reviews mention the dish owns the craving.

THE MECHANISM

The Indexable Menu

An HTML menu with real dish names ranks for hundreds of long-tail searches a PDF never will.

VS. THE ALTERNATIVE

Delivery Apps Keep the Customer

Third-party apps take the margin and the relationship. Direct visibility fills tables and first-party orders you keep.

09 — Common Questions

Questions Before You Book.

Does SEO matter for restaurants?

More than almost any category — dining decisions happen in search and maps in real time, and the whole deciding surface (pack, photos, reviews, menu) is improvable.

What should a restaurant rank for?

Cuisine + area terms, signature dishes, and occasion searches (brunch, late night, private events). The menu itself is the keyword list.

Do reviews really drive covers?

Volume, recency, and responses shape both pack position and the tap decision — an active profile out-earns a passive one.

How long until a restaurant sees results?

Profile and menu fixes can show in weeks; dish and occasion rankings build over 1–3 months.

Do you require contracts?

No. Everything is month-to-month, and every engagement starts with the free audit so you can see the opportunity before spending anything.

Who does the work?

I do. You work with me directly — no account managers, no outsourcing. That's the entire model.
