How to add your menu to Google

When someone finds your restaurant on Google Search or Maps, the Menu tab is one of the first things they open. There are three ways to fill it: a menu link, menu items typed into Google, or photos of your menu. Here is how to do each, and which one is easiest to keep current.

Option 1: add a menu link (easiest to keep current)

• Go to your Business Profile at business.google.com.
• Select Edit profile, then Business information, then Contact, then Menu link.
• Paste the link to your menu page.
• Select Save.

Because the link opens your live menu, you never have to edit Google again when a price changes. Update the menu itself and Google’s link shows the current version.

Option 2: type menu items into Google

• Go to your Business Profile and select Edit menu, above the search results.
• Select Add menu section, give it a name and add its first item.
• Select Add menu item for each dish: name, price and description. Then select Save.
• To change or remove an item, open it, edit or select Delete, and save.

This puts items directly on your profile, but it is a second copy of your menu. Every change has to be made twice: once on your menu and once on Google.

Option 3: upload photos of your menu

• Go to your Business Profile, select Edit menu, then Photos of menu at the top.
• Select Select photos or a PDF, or drag the files in.
• Use a sharp, well-lit photo. Google says the full menu should fit on one page and in one photo.

Google is also testing a "Generate a menu" option that builds menu items from a photo. Check what it produces before you publish it.

Good to know

• Google says changes can take 24 to 48 hours to appear on Maps and Search.
• Customers can add their own photos of your menu, which go out of date. Keeping your own menu current gives guests a better source.
• If Google finds more than one menu, you can pick your preferred one in the Menu tab, under Full menu.
• The menu editor is for food and drink businesses. If your menu comes from the Business Profile API, you may not see it.
