Restaurant SEO is usually a monthly retainer, and the price depends on how many locations you run, how competitive your area is and how much your website and profile need fixing. Diners choose quickly, often from the map on a phone, so a good plan focuses on being found and chosen in those few seconds.
What decides the price
- Number of locations: each needs its own profile, page and local proof.
- Competition: busy dining districts have many strong options.
- Website condition: slow pages and PDF menus lose customers.
- Services offered: dine-in, takeaway, delivery, events and catering need separate information.
- Content and photos: menus, dishes and the venue need clear presentation.
What a fair quote should include
Look for Google Business Profile management for each location, a technical and mobile audit with fixes carried out, menu and ordering page work, a review process, tracking of calls, directions and orders and a monthly report.

Warning signs
Avoid guaranteed rankings, no access to your own accounts and plans built on bulk directory links. Be cautious of anyone who wants to replace your menu with images or hide it behind a form.
