Wix Restaurants local SEO: Google Business Profile, menu schema and reservation links

Restaurants on Wix have access to specialised local SEO opportunities that most generic businesses do not. FoodEstablishment and Menu schema, GBP restaurant features, and Wix's native ordering integration create multiple paths to dominate local search for food-related queries.

FoodEstablishment and Restaurant Schema on Wix

The Schema.org Restaurant type (a subtype of FoodEstablishment and LocalBusiness) provides Google with structured information about your restaurant: cuisine type, price range, opening hours, reservations availability, accepted payment methods and menu URL. Add this as JSON-LD via Wix Custom Code on your homepage and main restaurant page.

Menu and MenuItem Schema: Displaying Your Menu in Search

• hasMenu property links your Restaurant schema to a Menu schema object
• Menu schema contains MenuSection and MenuItem schema for each dish
• MenuItem includes name, description, offers (price) and suitableForDiet
• Google may display menu items directly in local Knowledge Panel results
• Link the hasMenu URL to your actual Wix Restaurants menu page
• Keep menu schema updated whenever prices or items change

Google Business Profile Restaurant-Specific Features

Optimising GBP for restaurant local SEO

• Set primary category to "Restaurant" and add cuisine-specific secondary categories
• Add your full menu link in the GBP Menu URL field (links to your Wix menu page)
• Enable online ordering link in GBP if using Wix Restaurants ordering
• Connect reservations through GBP using your Wix Bookings or OpenTable link
• Upload high-quality food photography (minimum 5 photos updated monthly)

Wix Restaurants and Google Ordering Integration

Wix Restaurants integrates with Google's Order Online feature, which allows customers to place orders directly from Google Search and Maps. To enable this, ensure your Wix Restaurants ordering system is active and connected through GBP. This integration drives high-intent conversion traffic directly from local search results without requiring a click to your website.
