Restaurateurs, listen up! You can now make awesome menus on GMB

We all know the importance of your business’ presence on Google My Business.

Google knows the importance of giving quality information to the right people at the right time, and in the spirit of being informative, they have recently added a “structured menu” option for businesses. With this new feature, you can now add, update or delete multiple menus on a given location, you can also include menu sections within an existing menu. You can even list menu items with names, description, price and photos. For businesses (restaurants especially) hoping to “serve” information to the right consumer — this is a stellar new opportunity for you to shine.
