What’s Google Business Profile?

Google Business Profile (GBP) is a free tool from Google that lets local businesses manage how they appear across Google Search and Maps - just like our example, Hawkers Asian Street Food, above.

With a GBP, you can display key details like your business name, address, contact information, photos, reviews - and even your menu, if you’re in the food, hospitality, or service industry.

Adding your menu to your Google Business Profile allows customers to see what you offer before they even visit your website or restaurant. It can make a huge difference in customer decision-making.

Why Google Business Profile Is Important

According to Google, over 60% of people use Google Search or Maps to find local businesses every week. A complete and up-to-date profile - including your menu - helps your business rank higher in local search results, attract more clicks, and drive real-world visits.

A menu showcases your products and pricing clearly, giving potential customers confidence before they make a booking or purchase.

Who Should Add a Menu to Google Business Profile?

If you run a restaurant, café, bakery, barbershop, or spa, adding a menu to your Google Business Profile helps showcase your products and pricing directly to potential customers. Even service providers like beauty salons or gyms can use menus to list their services in a clear, organized way.

How to Add a Menu to Your Google Business Profile

Adding a menu to your GBP is simple and can be done directly through your Google Business dashboard or via your connected website.

Follow these steps:

Sign in to Your Google Business Profile. Go to google.com/business and log in with the Google Account linked to your business. You can also search your business name on Google and click “Edit profile” right in the search results if you’re logged in.
Go to the “Edit Menu” Section. In your Business Profile dashboard: Click Edit profile. Select Menu or Services (depending on your business type). Choose Add or Edit Menu. If you don’t see the “Menu” option, your business category might not support menus - try changing your category to something like Restaurant, Café, or Food Delivery Service.
Add Menu Sections and Items. You can now organize your menu with sections such as Appetizers, Main Courses, Desserts, or Beverages. For each item, include: Item name (e.g., “Margherita Pizza”), Price, Description (optional but helpful for SEO and customer clarity), Photo.
Publish Your Menu. Once your items are added, click Save or Publish. Your menu will appear directly on Google Search and Maps when users view your business.

You can update or remove items anytime, so don’t worry about seasonal changes or limited-time offers.
