Your Google Business Profile Generates Calls You Never Answer

Your Google Business Profile generates more calls than any other source. If those calls go to voicemail, Google is sending your customers directly to the competition.

Your Google Business Profile is likely your restaurant's number one call generator. When someone searches 'restaurants near me' or 'Italian restaurant downtown,' your listing appears with a prominent 'Call' button. Tap to call makes it effortless for searchers to reach you. But if no one answers, that easy call becomes a lost customer — and Google's algorithm may notice your low answer rate.

Google Makes Calling Easy — You Must Make Answering Easy

Google has made it incredibly easy for potential customers to call your restaurant. One tap on their phone screen and the call connects. But Google has also made it incredibly easy to call your competitor. If your restaurant does not answer, the caller backs out and taps the next listing. The whole process takes five seconds.
