Why Google Maps Is Essential for Your Restaurant

70% of tourists and young Moroccans search "restaurant nearby" on Google before going out. If your restaurant doesn't show up -- with reviews, photos, a menu -- you don't exist to them.

Tadnun helps Moroccan restaurants become visible on Google Maps with an optimized listing, a QR code review system, and automated online reputation management. Restaurants supported by Tadnun see an average 40% increase in customers through Google Maps.

Step 1: Create or Claim Your Google Business Listing

  1. Go to Google Business Profile
  2. Search for your restaurant's name
  3. If a listing already exists, claim it. Otherwise, create one.
  4. Fill in all the information: exact address, phone number, opening hours, website

Tadnun Tip: Use your WhatsApp Business number as your primary number -- it's the channel your customers prefer in Morocco.

Step 2: Professional Photos

Google favors listings with recent, high-quality photos. Upload at minimum:

  • 5 photos of your signature dishes
  • 3 photos of the interior and terrace
  • 1 photo of the storefront (helps customers find you)
  • 1 photo of the team (builds trust)

Tip: Tadnun includes a professional photography service as part of its restaurant packages.

Step 3: Collect Reviews with a QR Code

Reviews are the #1 ranking factor on Google Maps. Tadnun sets up a simple system:

  1. A QR code on every table and on the bill
  2. The customer scans it and leaves a review in 30 seconds
  3. You receive a WhatsApp alert for every new review
  4. A professional response template in 1 click

Karim, a restaurant owner in Marrakech, shares: "Since we got our optimized Google listing, we receive 40% more customers on weekends. Tourists find us directly on Maps."

Step 4: Post Regularly

Google favors active listings. Post once a week:

  • The daily special (with a photo)
  • Special offers
  • Events (themed evenings, Ramadan ftour...)

Tadnun automates these posts through the Google Business Profile API and Instagram Graph API integration.

Step 5: Respond to Every Review

  • Positive reviews: Thank the customer by name and mention the dish they highlighted
  • Negative reviews: Respond within 24 hours with empathy and a concrete solution

Samira, a fast-casual manager in Casablanca, confirms: "We used to lose 6 Glovo orders a week because of the rush. Now everything comes in on a single screen in the kitchen. Zero errors for 3 months."
