For Restaurants & Cafés

Protect your restaurant's Google listingfrom wrong hours and lost covers

Diners check Google before they visit — to confirm you're open, find your number, or read your latest reviews. When your hours are wrong, your category has changed, or a burst of fake reviews hits your rating, you lose covers. We watch your listing 24/7 and alert you within 60 minutes of any change.

Why your restaurant's Google listing needs active protection

Restaurants have more GBP visibility than almost any other business type — and more to lose when the listing is wrong.

Wrong opening hours cost you covers — especially at weekends

A diner planning a Saturday night out who sees you're 'closed' on Google won't call to double-check — they'll book somewhere else. Opening hours are the most frequently edited field on restaurant GBP listings.

Category changes affect delivery, takeaway, and dine-in discovery

The difference between 'Restaurant', 'Takeaway restaurant', 'Cafe', and 'Fast food restaurant' in Google's category system determines which search filters you appear in. A wrong category can drop you from dine-in, delivery, or breakfast searches instantly.

A review bombing can tank your rating overnight

A sudden burst of coordinated negative reviews — sometimes from a disgruntled ex-employee or a competitor — can drop a 4.8-star restaurant to 3.2 stars overnight. We alert you the moment velocity spikes above normal.

A wrong phone number means lost reservations

Customers calling to book or check availability hit a dead end if your phone number is wrong. Suggested edits can change this field, especially if your restaurant has had multiple numbers over the years.

Nearby competitors can edit your listing

In competitive areas like busy city streets or tourist hotspots, competitors have been known to submit suggested edits to rival restaurants. We catch any change within 60 minutes.',

Unanswered reviews hurt your ranking and reputation

Google considers review response rate as a local ranking signal. Our AI drafts professional, warm responses to every review — so no guest comment goes ignored, even during busy service.

Real problems we prevent for restaurants

These happen to restaurants and cafés across Ireland every week.

A Dublin restaurant had its category changed from 'Irish restaurant' to 'Takeaway' by a Google algorithm edit — causing it to disappear from sit-down dining searches

Category change detected within 60 minutes. Correct 'Irish restaurant' category restored before lunch service.

A Cork café had its Sunday hours changed from 10am–5pm to 'Closed' after a user found it shut during a private event one Sunday afternoon

Hours change detected and alerted. Correct Sunday hours restored before the following weekend.

A Galway restaurant's phone number was changed in a suggested edit to the number of a similar-named restaurant in another city

Phone field change detected within the hour. Correct number restored, incoming reservation calls resumed.

A Kerry hotel restaurant had its GBP listing status changed to 'Permanently closed' by an algorithmic edit during their off-season period

'Closed' status change detected immediately. Status corrected before it could affect their summer booking season.

The bank holiday hours problem

Every bank holiday weekend, restaurants across Ireland have their hours 'corrected' by users who found them closed. Easter Sunday, August Bank Holiday, Christmas Eve — a diner who arrived and found you closed updates your hours. That edit stays live for weeks or months — showing the wrong hours to thousands of potential diners. MyReputation.ie alerts you within 60 minutes every time your hours change, regardless of whether it's a Saturday night or Christmas morning.
