How Restaurants in Surrey and Vancouver Can Fill Tables Using Instagram and Google Maps

Learn how to use Instagram Reels and Google Maps to drive hungry customers to your restaurant in Surrey and Vancouver.

Visuals Eat First

In Vancouver and Surrey's diverse food scene, customers decide with their eyes. If your Instagram feed looks dark, blurry, or inactive, they assume your food is too.

The Google Maps Factor

When someone searches "best pasta near me" or "brunch Surrey," Google Maps is the judge. You need:

  • High-quality photos uploaded by the owner (YOU).
  • Recent 5-star reviews (with replies).
  • Correct hours and menus linked directly.

Reels: The Local Reach Engine

Instagram Reels are the only way to get free reach right now. A simple, well-lit video of your chef plating a dish can reach thousands of locals in Abbotsford or Coquitlam for free.
