Is Your Restaurant an "AI Ghost"?

If Google Can't Read Your Menu, You're Paying an Invisible Tax Every Single Day.

PDF menus are "black boxes" to modern search engines. We turn your restaurant into a Master Entity Hub, making you the only verified answer to every "near me" craving in your city.

How AI Decides Which Restaurant To Recommend

When someone asks Google or ChatGPT "Where should I eat near me?", here's what happens in 3 seconds:

AI Scans Structured Data

It reads your Google Business Profile, website schema markup, and ordering platforms. If your menu is a PDF, AI sees nothing. No dishes. No prices. You're invisible.

AI Analyzes Social Proof

It scans Google/Yelp reviews, food blogger content, and Instagram. High-authority signals (like Elite creator reviews with 51M views) count 9.3x more than anonymous reviews.

AI Scores & Ranks

Based on data completeness, freshness, and trust signals, AI returns the top 3-5 recommendations. If you're not machine-readable, you don't exist.

The Infrastructure You Actually Need

Chain restaurants have tech teams building dual-channel visibility: SEO for Google search + AEO for AI recommendations. They dominate both.

Independent restaurants? Still fighting with PDF menus.

Here's what we build:

Structured Data

(LocalBusiness, Menu, MenuItem, Offer, Nutrition schema) – AI instantly reads every dish name, price, ingredients, allergens, dietary tags, and modifiers. No more PDF blind spots

Conversational FAQ Answer Pages

Optimized for conversational voice queries and chat searches that rank in Google "Where can I find a quiet spot for dinner tonight with a dedicated gluten-free and dairy-free options?"

Elite Creator Partnership (Michele – 51M Yelp Views)

(Michele – 51M Yelp Views, 21.5K Instagram) Authentic creator content, not paid ads. Yelp Elite reviews (trusted 9.3x more) + Instagram Reels + photography across both platforms.

Google Business Profile Optimization

This is what people see when they Google you. We keep it fresh weekly—new photos, posts, updates—so you look alive, not dead

Elev8ed Reviews System

Capturing real customer experiences while they dine into high-authority, positive content. Paired with a brand voice trained Engagement assistant to respond to all reviews within 24 hours

POS-Integrated Revenue Tracking

We optimize answer pages for your 5 top-selling dishes and track both: AI visibility (citations, rankings) + POS revenue. Example: 'Wild Salmon: 34 AI citations, $12,400 monthly sales"

Questions Restaurant Owners Actually Ask

We don't dodge. We prove

How long until I see actual results?

Schema implementation shows results within 2-4 weeks (Google Rich Results eligibility). Full AI citation dominance typically takes 90 days as content and reviews compound—but you'll see incremental progress monthly.

How do you prove ROI?

We use your POS data to track revenue for your top 5 "craveable dishes." Each month, you see the exact revenue lift attributable to AI visibility. Not impressions. Not clicks. Actual dollars tied to specific menu items.

What if I don't have 50+ reviews yet?

Michele's Yelp Elite review creates a high-authority anchor. We also provide review request templates and POS integration prompts to help you reach the 50-review threshold within 60-90 days—the minimum for strong AI visibility.

Do I need to rebuild my website?

No. We work with your existing website—WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, GHL, custom builds. We add schema markup and create answer pages, but we don't rebuild. We optimize what you already have.

What platforms do you optimize for?

All major AI platforms: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and voice assistants (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant). We also optimize your Google Business Profile and Yelp presence since AI models cite these sources.

Will I need to do technical work myself?

Zero. Your only responsibility is uploading monthly POS data (a 2-minute CSV export). We handle all schema implementation, content creation, and technical validation. This is done-for-you infrastructure, not DIY consulting.

How does your partnership with Michele work?

Michele bridges two worlds independent restaurants need: enterprise-grade technology (schema, competitive intel, POS tracking) and authentic creator content (Yelp Elite reviews, Instagram, TikTok). You get both without managing either.

I'm not tourist-dependent. Will this still work?

Yes. Local customers provide your review foundation (you need 50+ reviews for AI visibility). Our system optimizes for both locals AND tourists—even if you're 80% local customers, Michele's amplification creates exponential growth on top of that foundation.

What's "market exclusivity" in Tier 2?

We guarantee we won't work with your direct competitors (same cuisine + same geographic market). Example: If you're an Italian restaurant in Santa Barbara on Tier 2, we won't work with any other Italian restaurants in Santa Barbara. You own that AI search space.

Does this work for my location (I'm not in California or Montana)?

Yes. Michele handles California restaurants (boots on the ground). We handle everything else (tech infrastructure is location-agnostic). The schema, competitive intel, and AI optimization work identically regardless of geography.

Can I switch tiers later?

You can upgrade from Tier 1 to Tier 2 anytime (subject to market exclusivity availability). Downgrading is possible with 30-day notice. Setup fees are non-refundable.

What if AI search algorithms change?

Schema.org is Google's official standard—it's not going anywhere. Even if specific AI platforms shift, machine-readable structured data remains the foundation. Plus, you're building a diversified review portfolio across Google, Yelp, and social platforms. AI trends may change, but the value we build doesn't evaporate.
