Key takeaways
  • - Verification = visibility. No excuses.
  • - Choose the method that works for you—postcard, phone, email, instant, or video.
  • - Once you’re verified, you control your info, reviews, and customer engagement.
  • 1. Why Verification Matters for Your Business

    • No verification, no control. Google won’t trust your info—or show you to customers.
    • Unlock features: Edit details, add photos, reply to reviews, track analytics.
    • Verified businesses show up higher and get more clicks.

    2. All the Ways to Verify Your Google Business Profile

    • Postcard (Mail): Google mails you a code—enter it to verify.
    • Phone: Get a code by call or text (if eligible).
    • Email: Some businesses can verify with a code sent to their business email.
    • Instant: Already verified your website in Search Console? You might get instant approval.
    • Video: Record a quick video showing your business and management access.

    3. Step-by-Step: How to Get Verified—Fast

    1. Sign in to Google Business Profile Manager.
    2. Enter your business info.
    3. Pick your verification method.
    4. Follow the prompts—enter your code or upload your video.
    5. Once verified, update your profile, add photos, and reply to reviews.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why now?

    Restaurants already trust Mobal to keep their listings accurate across Google and Apple. The website was the one part of their online presence still managed separately, with a different tool and a different login. Now it's part of the same system.

    Why does this matter for my restaurant?

    Every hour your site shows the wrong hours or an old menu is an hour a customer can be misled or turned away. And every evening spent editing a website is an evening away from the kitchen. Restaurant Websites removes both.

    What can I add to my site?

    Customers can buy gift cards directly on the site and book a table through an added widget like TableOnline. An ordering button links out to your provider, such as Wolt. Your location details, menu, hours, and special hours stay in sync with your Google and Apple listings.

    Which languages does it support?

    Choose from eight supported languages (English, Finnish, Swedish, Estonian, Russian, French, Spanish, and German) at launch and add translated versions of your site with a few clicks. More languages on request.

    What if I want a custom design?

    Restaurant Websites gives you a strong base built specifically for restaurants: the pages, layouts, and search foundations designed to help guests find and use your site. You can apply your own branding, colours, images, and pages on top.

    Can I keep my domain if I move from another builder?

    Yes. You hand over your domain and keep it.

    What does it cost?

    €29 per website per month, as an add-on. You can build and preview a site free in the demo before committing.
