Frequently asked questions

Does ChatGPT recommend restaurants?

Yes, heavily. "Best Italian restaurant in Lyon", "brunch in Marrakech" — ChatGPT recommends specific restaurants. Those with structured content get cited first.

How can a small restaurant beat Yelp?

AI favors authenticity and local specificity. A restaurant with a site describing its concept, chef, and specialties in detail beats generic platform listings.

Do I need a full website?

A site with the right basics is enough: homepage with Restaurant Schema.org, structured menu, FAQ (allergens, parking, reservations), and content about your story/concept.

What results to expect?

First AI citations in 4-6 weeks. MixMarrakech went from 0 to Featured in Google AI Overview. Local restaurants with specific content see fast results.

What budget for a restaurant?

Essential at €800/month is enough for most restaurants. An investment that pays for itself with a few extra covers per week.
