In your Google Business Profile under \u201cInfo\u201d, you can find a new field, \u201cAdd business description\u201d, where you can write what you think your customers should know. For a restaurant, it would be good to write about your history and the owners, your offer and menu specials. Highlight your advantages, for example, a parking possibility or an outdoor terrace. Mention other restaurants you have in town if it is a chain.<\/p>\n

You shouldn\u2019t focus on promotions and sales, and it\u2019s not permitted to use links of any kind.

Unless you run a hotel (this feature is not supported for this industry at the moment), it\u2019s highly advisable to add your business description to your Google Business Profile. Google gives you additional space to tell your customers about your business \u2013 use it! The more relevant information you share, the better. Even though it doesn\u2019t directly influence your search ranking, it may help your potential customers to decide for your business.<\/p>\n

Update of the Menu Feature on Google Business Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”PT Serif||||||||” text_text_color=”#363636″ text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.5em” global_colors_info=”{}”]The feature to create and edit menus<\/strong> has recently become available in\u00a0Germany, Austria, and Switzerland<\/a>. As before, eligible are restaurants, businesses in health and beauty industry as well as services businesses that don\u2019t already have a menu link provided by a third party. For a hotel, such information can be taken from a metasearch engine or your official website.<\/p>\n

Like the new Description Feature, the Menu\/Services Feature is available under \u201cInfo\u201d<\/strong> and allows listing your menu or services that will show up on your local profile on mobile and in the Google Maps app.

There is a clear advantage of filling out this field in your Google Business Profile. With just one click users who are searching for your business can find all the information they need. Especially, on a mobile device<\/strong>, it’s an important touchpoint to win new guests. There is a good chance that having Menu\/Services overview in your Google BusinessProfile will have a positive impact on your conversion rate.<\/p>\n

In case your listing is displaying an incorrect menu provided by a third party, Google suggests reaching out to the provider in question directly, or contact support<\/a>.<\/p>\n
