Your restaurant is full tonight. Your Google page looks like it closed six months ago.

When someone Googles where to eat, they don't just look at your menu — they look at how alive your page feels. If your last post was months ago, some of them are already clicking on your competitor.

"The atmosphere was incredible, but it was the constantly updated specials on their Google page that brought us in."

Michael T., via Facebook

What they're looking for

Customers decide in seconds. Give them something to say yes to.

Your Google page is the first impression. Most of the time, it's also the last.

Recency is everything

A page with no posts since last spring feels closed — even if you're slammed every Friday night. Customers can't see through the screen. They can only see what's there.

Food photos close the deal

Nobody talks themselves into a restaurant from the description. They see a plate and decide. One great shot of your signature dish can pull someone off the couch tonight.

Specials give people a reason right now

"What's going on this week?" is a question every diner asks. If your page has an answer, they choose you. If it doesn't, they choose someone whose page does.

Sound familiar?

This is who FrontDoor Local is built for.

If any of these sound like you, you're exactly the kind of restaurant owner we help.

The owner who meant to

"You posted a photo of the new menu launch in March. Before that, the last post was nine months ago. You meant to do more — you just kept getting busy."

The one with the dusty cover photo

"Your Google cover image is from your opening week. There are 34 unanswered questions on your profile and three photos from a phone that got replaced two years ago."

The chef who does everything

"You're in at 6am, out at 11pm, and somewhere in between you're supposed to be running social media too. You know you should post more. There's just never a good time."

The one who tried the apps

"You downloaded two scheduling tools, filmed a reel that never got edited, and started a Canva account you haven't opened since. Posting is a whole other job. You already have one."

The 8-second decision

This is what every hungry customer does before they pick a restaurant.

01
They find your restaurant
On Google Maps, in a search, or after a friend mentions you.
02
They check if you look active
This takes about 8 seconds. Recent posts? Current photos? A special? Or silence?
03
They decide if you're worth visiting
The more current and alive the page feels, the easier it is to say yes.
04
Your page keeps moving — without you
Fresh posts go out every month. You stay focused on running the restaurant.
What we post

Every post has one job: make someone choose you.

We write the captions, create the graphics, and handle the scheduling. You just look good.

Featured dishes

Posts that showcase your best plates — the ones that stop a scroll and make someone say 'I need to try that' tonight.

Specials & events

Weekend brunch, limited-time items, live music nights. Timely posts that give people a concrete reason to come in this week.

Order & reservation prompts

Clear, frictionless calls to action — book a table, order delivery, call ahead. Make the next step obvious.

Atmosphere & behind the scenes

Your dining room, your team, your kitchen energy. People choose restaurants they feel connected to. These posts build that.

Priced like software, built by humans

No generic AI slop. Real posts designed for your business.

The honest comparison

Why not just handle it yourself?

You could. Most restaurant owners try. Here's what actually happens.

Doing it yourself
$0/mo

You post twice, get slammed during service, and the page goes quiet for months. Every slow week you think about it. Every rush comes and you forget. The intention is real. The consistency never happens.

Hiring in-house
$3,500–5,000+/mo

A part-time social media person still needs to learn your brand, coordinate constantly, and justify a salary for 10–20 posts a month. The overhead doesn't make sense at this scale.

A full-service agency
$1,500–3,000/mo

Built for brands with ad budgets and quarterly strategy decks. Most agencies will over-promise, under-deliver on local specifics, and charge you for strategy sessions you didn't ask for.

The better way
FrontDoor Local
From $155/mo

We specialize in local businesses. You get consistent Google and Facebook posts, written and designed for your specific restaurant, every month — without you lifting a finger.

Getting started

Simple to start. Easy to keep running.

You share the details once. After that, fresh posts go out every month — no effort required on your end.

01

Tell us about your business

Fill out a short intake form — your menu, your vibe, what you want people noticing. Takes about 10 minutes, once.

02

Send us the basics once

A folder of food photos, your logo, and access to your profiles. That's all we need to start building posts.

03

We take it from there every month

We write, design, and schedule every post. You get a quick look before anything goes live. Approve it, and it's done. Month after month.

Questions

Short answers before you decide.

These are what most restaurant owners ask us before getting started.
