Note: this connection is currently unavailable. Due to restrictions from Google, it’s currently not possible to connect Sitebite to your Google Business Profile this way. We’re working on a solution. This article describes how the integration is intended to work once Google allows this again; you can’t activate the connection yet.

If someone googles “restaurant near me”, your Google Business Profile often appears before your website. An up-to-date profile with photos and posts makes the difference between a click and a scroll past. Sitebite aims to let you manage that from one dashboard.

Why Google Business Profile is crucial

Your Google Business Profile shows opening hours, reviews, photos and directions directly in Google Maps and search results. For restaurants, it’s often the first point of contact, even before your website.

But an outdated profile with old photos, wrong hours or no posts costs you guests. Sitebite helps you stay consistently up to date.

What’s the idea from Sitebite?

Once the connection is possible again, from Sitebite you’ll be able to:

  • Publish posts: news, promotions and events like “Valentine’s menu” or “Live music Friday”.
  • Upload photos: atmosphere shots, dishes and team photos directly to your profile.
  • Connection with your site: opening hours and NAP details consistent between your site and Google.

How the connection works (once available)

  1. In your dashboard, go to Integrations, then Google Business Profile.
  2. Log in with your Google account (OAuth).
  3. Select your location and grant Sitebite permission.
  4. Start with posts and photos, or check your current profile status.

More detail on the connection itself is on our connecting Google Business Profile page.

Google Business Profile, local SEO and your website

Your Google Business Profile is one pillar of local visibility. The other is your own website with correct NAP details, schema markup and restaurant context. Read our article on local SEO for restaurants for the complete picture.

Later, combine your profile with Google Search Console to see which keywords bring visitors to your profile and site.
