Bloomfield,United States - September 28, 2022 /PressCable/ —
Platr has released its eponymous software to simplify local search marketing for food establishments through automation. It was conceived with single-location restaurants in mind, allowing them to compete in any market without the need to spend thousands on a third-party digital marketing agency.

Platr comes with a slew of features that allows for hands-free digital marketing. One of these is a built-in search listing manager, which enables restaurant owners to update their business information simultaneously across 60 websites, including directories, social media sites, and search engines.
Why is Local Search so Critical?
For independent restaurants, focusing on local search is paramount, as most customers include a location in their queries, according to Platr. “81% of all consumers search online before making a decision where to eat,” the company stated. “Restaurants listed on the top of search results get more customers.”
The Need For Details and Consistency
Google echoes this advice on its official help page. The search engine giant stressed the need to update one’s business information “for better visibility”.
For one, it advised business owners to enter complete data because accurate information is needed for a listing to be matched with the right query. Some of the essential details that owners can provide include their store’s address, phone number, and business hours.
Automated Solution for Time-Strapped Restaurants
CNBC recently reported that restaurants in the US are currently short-staffed despite the easing of health restrictions. According to the same report, the industry has about 750,000 positions waiting to be filled and the scarcity of personnel is taking a toll on customers, who now have to wait longer to receive service.
Platr can be useful to establishments that are time-strapped because of staff shortages. According to its developers, the software’s automated features will allow restaurants to spend more time on customer service instead of the upkeep of their Google listings.
Getting Reviews and Responding Promptly
Visibility on Google is also influenced by customer reviews, which is why Platr has included a review requester in its list of features. The requester makes use of QR codes to take customers directly to a feedback page, streamlining the experience of leaving a review. “With consumers being so enamored with reading reviews, you simply have to get a myriad of reviews to stay relevant in your market,” the company explained.

Platr currently offers a starter plan, which is recommended for restaurants in less-competitive markets, and a “pro” tier for establishments in areas with a high volume of dining options.
“The restaurant industry is back on its feet after two turbulent years, but this resurgence also brings more challenges in the form of intensified competition,” a company spokesperson said. “We want to even the playing field. If your independent restaurant is up against formidable names in your local area, Platr can help you stand out.”
