# Free restaurant marketing that actually works

The marketing that works best for neighborhood restaurants is mostly free. It takes a little time each week, not money.

## Step by step

1. **Complete your Google listing.** Hours, photos, menu, your own order link. Free and the biggest source of new guests.
2. **Reply to every review.** Ten minutes a week.
3. **Post real food photos.** Three a week on Google and social media.
4. **QR code on every bag.** Sends the next order to your own page.
5. **Team up with neighbors.** A gym, a salon, an office next door: swap flyers or offer their staff a lunch deal.
