We studied the number of monthly views a restaurant's business profile gets compared to its estimated organic monthly website visits. Our findings reveal a significant variance in online engagement metrics between Google Business Profile impressions and restaurant website organic visits, with Google profiles enjoying an average of seven times more views. Additionally, these profiles' Click-Through Rate (CTR) stands impressively at 19%.

We used Ahrefs website checker for organic visits and Mobals analytics tool for business profile data to analyze the data.

Harnessing the Power of Google Business Profiles

So, what strategies can restaurants employ to maximize the potential of their Google Business Profiles? Firstly, it is paramount to ensure the profile is optimized with accurate and up-to-date information. From operating hours to menu offerings and contact details, providing comprehensive information fosters trust and accessibility for prospective diners.

Moreover, leveraging multimedia elements such as high-quality images and engaging videos can significantly enhance the profile's appeal, enticing users to explore further. Additionally, actively encouraging satisfied customers to leave positive reviews and ratings can bolster the establishment's credibility and contribute to its visibility within Google search results.
