For a local restaurant, local SEO isn't fancy marketing. It's business-critical. 70% of new customers discover a restaurant through Google Maps or local search. If you're not in top 3 for your main keywords, you're invisible to most of your audience.

Local marketing means appearing when someone searches your service in your area. Not on Google from Berlin, but on Google from Manchester, when someone in Manchester searches "nail salon." It's a specific subset of digital marketing with its own rules.
