Restaurant SEO decides who gets the table when someone searches "best ramen in Denver", "gluten free Italian near me" or asks ChatGPT where to take their parents for a 70th birthday. Diners choose by dish, by diet and by occasion, then book through the first link they see: a reservation platform, a delivery app or your own page. Sorank writes the articles that answer these searches on your website, sends readers to your own booking and ordering pages, and tracks which restaurants the AI assistants suggest.
Built for sit-down restaurants and restaurant groups. Your Google Business Profile, reviews, reservations and delivery listings stay with your team.

"Hand-pulled noodles in Leeds", "vegan tasting menu Chicago", "restaurant with a private room for 12": diners rarely type a restaurant name. Sorank finds the dishes, dietary needs and occasions people search around you, then writes one article per question, with a title you can rewrite before it is generated and image instructions such as "our dining room, warm light, no faces".
Titles and images are set in the blog article generator.
Ask Perplexity for "a quiet place for a business lunch near Union Square" and it names three restaurants, each backed by a review platform, a city guide or a restaurant website. Every month, Sorank runs the questions you choose, ranks the restaurants cited model by model, and shows where you stand next to the places on your street.
Follow the ranking in the GEO leaderboard.


A neighborhood trattoria and a tasting-menu restaurant do not talk the same way. Set the tone, the form of address and the house rules once ("say our chef, never use discount language, end with the booking link"), and every article follows them. Articles can wait as drafts until the chef or the manager has read them.
These settings live in Brand Voice.
WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Shopify or another platform through a webhook. Sorank reads your Search Console data to see which dishes and pages already bring diners to the site.
Signature dishes, what the kitchen can make gluten free or vegan, private room capacity, set menus, the terrace. Sorank proposes the searches for each one, ranked by how close they are to a booking.
Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, office parties, terrace season: articles go out weeks before the date, each one ending with your booking or ordering link.
THEY TRIED SORANK BEFORE YOU





Founder’s Note.
I ran my own SEO agency for years. I built Sorank to deliver the same results to every business, at scale.
Everything I know about Google rankings and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is coded into this software, and it runs on autopilot for you.

Restaurant SEO is the work that puts a restaurant in front of people choosing where to eat: in Google Maps, in the regular results, on review platforms and in the answers of AI assistants such as ChatGPT or Perplexity. Your Business Profile and your reviews carry most of the Maps decision. Your website carries what a profile cannot hold: the full menu in words, what the kitchen can adapt, the private room, the story of the house.
Sorank works on the website and measures the rest.
Because every booking that goes through your own page is one you keep in full, and the margin for error is thin. In February 2026, the National Restaurant Association projected US restaurant and foodservice sales of $1.55 trillion for the year, but real growth of only 1.3%, after a year in which 60% of operators reported softer customer traffic.
Platforms also show up on your profile without asking. Google states in its help on business links that links to certain services can appear automatically, supplied by third-party partners, and that an owner can set one link as "Business preferred". Choosing your own booking page there is your job; Sorank then makes sure every article leads to the same page.
On Google, distance, opening hours, photos and reviews decide most visits. AI assistants lean even harder on review platforms, and that weight moves fast. In our food and beverage AI citation study, TripAdvisor went from 3.33% of answers in May 2026 to 18.98% in July and 15.76% in August. A ranking that changes that much in one summer has to be checked often, which is why Sorank runs your questions every month.
Your website still matters to the assistants for the facts that review platforms do not hold: whether the kitchen can cook without nuts, how many guests fit in the private room, whether children are welcome at dinner. Write these as text on your own pages and they become quotable.
Many of these searches stay within a few streets; our guide to hyperlocal SEO explains how to write for them.

Only what the kitchen can stand behind. A dietary article explains how orders are handled, which dishes can be adapted and the risk of cross-contact, then asks guests with an allergy to tell the server when they book and again at the table. Never write "allergen-free" unless the kitchen guarantees it. Groups of 20 or more locations in the United States have an extra duty: the FDA menu labeling rules require calories for standard items on menus and menu boards, and online dish descriptions should match them. Sorank writes from the rules you give it and keeps every article as a draft if your team prefers to check.
With structured data on the pages you or your web designer manage. The Restaurant type of schema.org includes properties for the cuisine served (servesCuisine), the menu (hasMenu) and whether you take reservations (acceptsReservations), alongside opening hours and address. It does not replace good pages, but it removes doubt for the machines that read them. Our guide to LocalBusiness schema shows the markup.
Sorank takes care of the keyword plan by dish, diet and occasion, the articles and their links to your menu and booking pages, publication on your website, the monthly check of the AI answers and your Search Console data in one dashboard.
The restaurant keeps its Google Business Profile, its photos, its reviews and replies (see do Google reviews help SEO), its reservation system and its delivery listings. Other food businesses have their own page: fine dining, cafes, bars and nightclubs, caterers and food trucks.
Sorank is priced per website, not per location or per seat, so a group that presents five restaurants on one site needs one plan. Essential is $49 a month on annual billing or $99 on monthly billing, with 20 articles a month; Pro is $129 or $249 for 60 articles, with Grok added to the tracking; Business is $249 or $499 for 120 articles. Start with the 3-day trial, then compare on the pricing page.
Months rather than weeks, and seasonal dates need a head start: a Mother's Day menu published a week before the date rarely ranks in time. Plan the year with our guide to building a content calendar, publish evergreen dish and diet articles in between, and judge each topic on its Search Console impressions and clicks after three months, then on the bookings that come through your own page.
Keep your review profiles complete and recent, and publish on your own site the facts guests ask about: dishes, dietary options, private dining, opening hours. Then check every month whether ChatGPT suggests you and which pages it quotes.
No. Your Business Profile, reviews, reservation system and delivery listings stay with your team. Sorank writes and publishes articles on your website and measures how Google and the AI assistants respond.
It sends every reader of its articles to your own booking or ordering page. Making that page the preferred link on your Google Business Profile is a setting you control in the profile itself.
Start with your signature dishes and your town, then the dietary needs and occasions you handle well, such as gluten free dining or private rooms. Searches like "open now" depend first on accurate Business Profile hours.
Sorank starts at $49 a month per website on annual billing, or $99 on monthly billing, with a 3-day trial. A restaurant group with one website for all its locations needs a single plan.
Allow several months. Publish seasonal menus well ahead of the date, and judge each topic on its Search Console impressions and clicks after three months.
We don't. Sorank isn't trying to be another Semrush or Ahrefs. Those tools are built for data, Sorank is built to do the work. Instead of more dashboards to check, it turns SEO and GEO insights into actions: articles written and published, backlinks earned, technical fixes and AI visibility tracking. Less complexity, more results.
From $49/month per website on a yearly plan, with a 3-day free trial and a 90-day money-back guarantee (conditions apply). Every plan includes articles, AI visibility tracking and access to natural backlink acquisition; higher plans add more articles, more AI prompts tracked and more backlinks. No setup fees, no paying for seats you don't use.
You shouldn't need a full marketing team or expensive tools to grow. Sorank handles your entire SEO and AI visibility, so you save time and money.
