Restaurant Webmaster Directory/Website Information

In order to develop the best directory page or website for you, we need the following information.

  • A copy of your menu (breakfast, lunch, dinner, specials, take-out)
  • Days open and Hours of operation
  • Address and phone number
  • A few of your favorite recipes
  • Any reviews you might have of your restaurant
  • A logo if you have one

If you were talking to someone about your restaurant, how would you answer the following questions?

  • What is your restaurant like?
  • What kind of food do you serve?
  • What is the atmosphere like?
  • Is your restaurant casual or formal?
  • Do you need a reservation?

Would you like to start a blog for your restaurant?  This is a great way to help your website get traffic from the Internet.  You can write the occasional article (two or three times a month) and ask people that work for you or even your regular customers to write the occasional 200- 300 word article about your site.  If you are interested in a blog, we have a couple of different solutions bit of which are no extra charge.  One solution is that we we will start a free blogger.com blog for you and teach you how to use it.  The other option is that you email us your articles and we add them to your site.

We also need some pictures of your restaurant (inside, outside, food, staff, customers, etc).  If you have a digital camera and are comfortable with getting the pictures on to your computer and emailing them then do that.  If that is going to slow down the process, go to your local drug store and buy a disposal flash camera with 27 exposures.  Take the pictures and then return the camera to your 1 hour film developer.  Have them put the pictures on a CD.  The cameras will cost you about $5.  The CD will cost about $5.  This is often the quickest and most convenient way to get us pictures.

Our hope is to keep the process as simple as we can for you.  The thing that often slows the processs down is gathering the necessary information.  You should be able to run through this list in under an hour.  Do the best you can to get us the information quickly.  You can email us this information at restaurantwebmasteronline@gmail.com or mail it to us (Restaurant Webmaster, 100 County Road, Big Pine Key, FL 33043).  We look forward to being your restaurant webmaster online!  If you have any questions use the Contact page to let us know.

Restaurant Directory Services

On Restaurant Webmaster we are developing restaurant directories to help restaurants increase the flow of traffic to their websites and to their restaurants. Currently we have 15 directory sites up and running in Florida. We have plans to expand into California, Texas, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee.

On each of our directories we offer 12 local restaurants the opportunity to be a featured restaurant. All the restaurants in the area are listed, but the site primarily revolves around the 12 featured restaurants. You can be a featured restaurant on one of our directories in your area for $120/year. As a featured restaurant you will receive highlighted placement on the site, a page on the site for your restaurant information, and a link to your existing website if you have one. If we do not have a restaurant directory for your area, we will start one.

These restaurant directory sites have to show up on page 1 of a Google search to be effective. This takes time to happen and we are in the process of making all these sites search engine friendly. If you would like to see one of the directories in operation go to www.floridakeysrestaurantsonline.com or do a Google search for Florida Keys Restaurants.
