Claim the listing, then finish it
A half-filled listing with no hours and one photo looks closed. Fill in your hours, your phone number, what you sell, and whether you deliver. This takes one afternoon and then keeps working for years.
The details people actually check
Before walking over, people want to know four things. Answer all four and the walk-in happens.
- Are you open right now, including festival days and Saturdays.
- What the front of the shop looks like, so they recognise it.
- Whether there is parking, and where.
- Roughly what things cost, so nobody feels ambushed.
Photos of the outside matter most
Everybody uploads pictures of their products. Almost nobody uploads a clear photo of the shopfront from the road, which is the one picture that helps a stranger find the door.
Ask for reviews at the counter
Ask right after the good moment, when the meal is finished or the repair works again. One honest review a week puts you ahead of shops that have been open ten years and never asked.
Bad line, good line.
