AI for restaurants: be the name that comes up when diners ask
Diners are no longer just searching; they are asking. They ask ChatGPT for the best pasta in Mayfair, tell Gemini to find a romantic spot with a view, and look to Perplexity for restaurants that can handle a gluten-free party of ten. If the AI doesn't know you, you don't exist for these guests.
What we actually do about it
AI Optimization (AEO)
Full Transparency
Flat Monthly Fee
SEO is about links and keywords. AI Optimization (AIO) is about intent and trust. We ensure your restaurant isn't just a link, but the specific recommendation the AI gives.
You receive monthly visibility reports showing how AI models are changing their responses. No vague metrics—just real-world proof of how guests find you.
We work on a flat monthly fee with no hidden setup costs and no long-term contracts. We believe in earning our place on your P&L every single month.
Why doesn't my restaurant show up when diners ask AI where to eat?
Because an AI assistant cannot taste your food. It builds its answer from what it can read — your menu in a format it understands, your location details, your reviews, and how often credible sources mention you. If those signals are thin or inconsistent, a very good restaurant stays invisible.
Can you guarantee we'll be recommended?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls what an AI assistant says. What we can do is make you the most legible restaurant in your area to the platforms deciding, and show you every week whether it is working.
What we deliver every month
AI visibility is not a project you finish. The platforms change their answers constantly, and so do the restaurants competing for them. This is what lands every month on Be Recommended.
What we produce
- 4 articles, written the way AI platforms quote rather than the way brochures read
- 16 social posts, written and scheduled across your channels
- 4 Google Business Profile posts, so the listing diners see first stays current
- 4 branded images, made to your brand rather than pulled from a stock library
- 4 short AI videos, 15 to 30 seconds each
- The specific phrasing AI platforms lift when they answer a question, built into everything we write for you
What we track
- Where you appear across every AI platform your guests use, and where you do not
- The questions and search terms diners in your area actually use
- How often you are mentioned, and which answers you turn up in
- A visual map of where you stand across every term we track
- 200 search terms monitored, plus your position in the local map results
- The structured data the platforms read, checked and published for you
- Ongoing technical checks on your site, scored so you can see it moving
- Automatic alerts if the links pointing at your site break or turn bad
- Your Search Console and Analytics data pulled into one place, so you are not logging into four dashboards

What we watch your competitors doing
- 5 competitors of your choosing, tracked every month
- A running list of the questions nobody in your area has answered yet
- Your content scored against theirs, so you can see where you are behind
- What your reviews are actually saying, tracked for sentiment rather than stars alone
- Your Google Business Profile scored for completeness against theirs
- What they are spending on ads, and on what

Questions restaurants ask us
How long before I see results?
Do I still need my marketing agency?
Usually a few months rather than a few weeks. Some platforms pick up changes quickly, others take longer to catch up. Anyone promising results in a fortnight is guessing.
Keep them for now. Give us three months, then look at where your bookings are actually coming from and decide for yourself. We would rather you judged that from your own numbers than from anything we wrote in a FAQ.
I already have great reviews. Isn't that enough?
What exactly is AEO vs SEO?
Reviews help, but they are one signal among several, and consistency across the whole web matters as much as the star rating. A room with four and a half stars can still be left out of the answer if its menu is a PDF and its opening hours disagree in three different places.
SEO is about ranking your website for keywords. AI Optimization is about making your restaurant legible to AI assistants so they can confidently recommend you when diners ask where to eat.
What do I actually get each month?
Can I cancel anytime?
An audit of where you stand, the structural fixes that follow from it, content published to the sources AI platforms draw on, and a monthly report showing which questions surface you and how that has moved. Nothing hidden behind a black box.
Yes. We operate on 30-day rolling agreements. If you’re not seeing the movement you want, you can cancel with 30 days’ notice.
