SEO pricing for restaurants typically runs $500 to $5,000 per month on a retainer, or $1,500 to $10,000 for a one-time project. Scope, agency specialization, and location count all drive the number.
Generic agencies charge the same rate whether they serve a dentist or a restaurant group. That price rarely reflects the specific work needed to move cover counts.
Multi-location groups get more leverage from a concentrated push across every location than from a slow monthly retainer. A single lift in local search compounds across the whole portfolio.
If you run multiple locations, restaurant SEO services built specifically for groups can show you exactly where your Google presence is losing covers.
