Setting up Restaurant Context: cuisine, city and neighbourhood for local visibility

Google and AI assistants match your restaurant to searches based on who you are: which cuisine you serve, which city and neighbourhood you’re in, and what kind of business you are. With Restaurant Context, you tell them that in a few fields, so you show up better in local and AI searches.

What is Restaurant Context?

Restaurant Context is a short profile of your business that Sitebite uses to match you to the right searches and to generate suitable AI prompts. You’ll find it as Restaurant Profile on the Prompt Tracking page.

What details do you fill in?

  • Restaurant name: an override on your site name if it differs.
  • Cuisine: for example Italian, French or plant-based.
  • City: for example London.
  • Neighbourhood: for example Shoreditch.
  • Type of business: restaurant, cafe, bistro or bar.

Automatically filled from your site

Leave a field blank, and Sitebite fills it in where possible from your structured data (JSON-LD) during the AI Visibility analysis. Fill it in yourself, and you have full control over how you’re presented.

What does Sitebite use this context for?

  • Local matching: appearing better for searches like “Italian restaurant in [city]”.
  • AI recommendations: AI assistants can place you better for questions about cuisine, atmosphere and location.
  • Prompt tracking: the context partly determines which prompts Sitebite tests for you.

How to set it up

  1. In your site overview, go to Prompt Tracking.
  2. Open Restaurant Profile.
  3. Enter cuisine, city, neighbourhood and type, or check what’s already filled in.
  4. Save. Your context is immediately factored into your visibility and prompt tests.
