Search and answer engines, read against the register
Guests used to search for a restaurant. Now they ask - Google, Maps, and increasingly an assistant that answers with three names and no link. Most places rank for their own name, get cited by nobody, and can't say what any of it is worth. This reads where you show up, where you don't, and what the visits that followed spent at the register.
A ranking is not a reservation. Neither is a citation.
Where you show up, and what it brought in
Search Console and your Business Profile in one place: the keywords and pages doing the work, the local picture - calls, directions, reviews - and whether an assistant names you when someone asks for the best Thai near the office. Organic visits are followed to the check where they can be, so a page that ranks is judged by the covers it filled.
What to fix first
Keyword opportunities you're close on, pages worth writing, listings that disagree with each other across the directories, and the questions an assistant would need answered on your site to recommend you - ranked by what's likely to fill seats, not by search volume.

Questions people ask
What do I need to connect?
Google Search Console and your Google Business Profile. Both take a few minutes on the onboarding call. Your listings across the directories are kept consistent from the same place.
How do you know if an assistant recommends us?
The app asks the questions your guests ask - the best brunch in the neighborhood, somewhere for a birthday dinner for eight - and records whether you're named, and who is instead. You see it change as the site and the listings improve.
Is this instead of an SEO agency?
It's the measurement and the priorities, with the fixes in plain language. The Studio can do the writing if you'd rather not.
