How to add your menu to Google Maps and Search

Updated 2026-10-24 · DishPage

Before visiting a restaurant, most people look it up on Google Maps or Google Search. If your listing has a menu, they can check dishes and prices right there. If it doesn't, they often choose a place that does, or rely on an old photo of your menu that someone else uploaded. Adding your menu takes five minutes and costs nothing.

Three ways Google can show your menu

• Menu link: a link to your menu page. Diners tap it and see your full menu with photos and current prices. This is the easiest to keep up to date: you change the menu page, and the link keeps pointing to it.
• Menu editor: you type dishes and prices into Google itself. Useful, but it's a second copy that you have to update by hand every time a price changes.
• Menu photos: pictures or a PDF of your printed menu. Quick, but hard to read on a phone, and they go out of date silently.

Our advice: always add a menu link. Use the other two only if you have the time to keep them in sync.

Before you start

• You need to manage your restaurant's Google Business Profile. If you haven't claimed it yet, search for “Google Business Profile” and follow the steps to claim your listing. It's free.
• Sign in with the Google account that manages the profile.
• Have your menu's web address ready. A web page works better than a PDF or image link: search engines and screen readers can't read a photo of a menu.

Add your menu link, step by step

1. Go to business.google.com, or search your restaurant's name on Google while signed in.
2. Select Edit profile.
3. Open Business information, then Contact. (On a computer in Google Search, it's Edit profile › Contact.)
4. Find Menu link and paste your menu's web address.
5. Select Save.

Google says changes can take 24 to 48 hours to appear on Maps and Search. Check your listing on your phone after two days.

If Google shows the wrong menu

Google can collect menus from several places: your menu link, the menu editor, photos uploaded by you or by diners, and your website. If more than one exists, you can choose which one Google should prefer: open Edit menu, go to the Full menu tab, pick your preferred source and save. Delete old menu photos with outdated prices so they don't confuse diners.

Keep it working

• Use a link that never changes. If your menu address changes, every place that links to it breaks: Google, Instagram, WhatsApp messages and printed QR codes.
• Keep prices current on the menu page, not just in the restaurant. Diners who see one price on Google and pay another feel cheated.
• Add the same link to your Instagram bio, WhatsApp Business profile and your website, so diners find the same menu everywhere.
• Reply to questions diners ask on your listing; a short answer that points to the menu helps everyone who reads it later.

With DishPage

Every DishPage menu has a permanent link made for this. In your menu admin, open More › Add your menu to Google Maps to copy it. When you change a price or mark a dish sold out, Google's link shows the change straight away, because it points to the live menu.
