Food and drink in Liverpool

Eating and drinking in Liverpool

Liverpool has around 560 restaurants, 305 pubs and bars and 480 takeaways. Pubs and bars run at 1.6 times the big city average, restaurants and takeaways at 1.3 times.

That density makes the map results crowded. Within a few streets of Bold Street, Seel Street or the waterfront, dozens of venues compete for the same search, and the person searching rarely looks past the first three.

Small differences decide who appears: the right category, correct hours, a readable menu, recent photos and replies to reviews. Those details are what our SEO Liverpool work for venues focuses on.

Searches

What diners and drinkers search for

Most searches come with a time attached. Here is what people type.

  • Restaurants open now, near me
  • Cocktail bars and late bars in the city centre
  • Pubs showing the match
  • Bottomless brunch and set menus
  • Vegan, gluten free and halal options
  • Takeaways delivering tonight

Each of these is decided in minutes. The venues that win are the ones whose profile shows the right hours, the right category and a menu the searcher can read on a phone without opening a PDF.

Venues inside hotels have a second set of searches to win; our page on hotel SEO in Liverpool covers the room side.

What we do

What we do for restaurants and bars

01

Category and attributes

The right primary category (cocktail bar is not restaurant) plus attributes such as outdoor seating, live music and dietary options.

02

Readable menus

Menus as plain text on your site, updated when they change, with menu schema so Google understands them.

03

Booking links

Your booking link on the profile and on every page, so a search turns into a reservation in two taps.

04

Event posts

Posts for match days, gigs, quiz nights and seasonal menus, published a few days before each one.

05

Photos

A plan for fresh photos of food, drinks and the room each month, because diners decide on photos.

06

Review replies

Replies to every review in your voice, and a simple way to ask happy guests to leave one.

Common problems

Problems we fix for venues

PDF menus

A PDF menu is slow on a phone and rarely ranks. A text menu page fixes both.

Wrong hours

Late opening, bank holidays and match days missing from the profile cost visits every week.

Generic category

A bar listed as a restaurant misses "bar" and "cocktail" searches entirely.

Stale photos

Photos from opening year make a refurbished venue look tired next to its neighbours.

01 Results

Is SEO worth it for a single restaurant or pub?

Usually, yes, because the searches lead straight to a visit. Most of the gain comes from the profile and menu work in the Local package.

02 How we work

Do you run our social media too?

No. We focus on search: your Google profile and website. We can suggest how to reuse posts across channels.

03 How we work

Can you help with delivery apps?

We do not manage delivery apps, but we make sure your own site and profile point people to your preferred ordering route.

04 Results

How quickly will we see more bookings?

Profile fixes such as category and hours can show within a few weeks. Menu pages and reviews build over two to three months.

05 Prices

What does it cost?

Most single venues fit the Local package at £349 a month, with no VAT added and 30 days notice.
