Restaurant owners are typically not great marketers, many rely upon their physical location to drive most of their traffic. I’m continually surprised when I go to the web and search for a restaurant and cannot find them, e
ither because they don’t have a website, or because they’ve put no resources toward search engine optimization.
The mobile web market is on the verge of exploding and web marketing will be crucial to the success of any restaurateur. As a restaurant owner, you need to make sure you’re on all the local directories, i.e. Google Maps/Places, Yelp, Yahoo local, AOL Local, SuperPages, Citysearch, Local.com, etc. Best part is…getting your listing on all of these local directories is free!
From a users perspective, here are some of my favorite “local” mobile apps. Yelp.com, Google Maps and Where.
