Listing your restaurant on a portal is a great form of advertising.
There are more than 700,000 restaurants in the United States, according to Manta.com. California alone boasts more than 100,000. With this expanding industry, many restaurant portal Web sites have been developed to help simplify the consumer's search. However, when you search for your restaurant, you don't see it listed. Becoming listed is as easy as typing and sending an e-mail to the right person. Be aware however, that some sites require monthly payments.

1. Have an Internet friendly graphic of your restaurant logo and name before you start e-mailing the Web site portals. You will need this or a high quality picture of your business front to send to the site administrators. Some restaurant portals also include menus. Be sure to have yours ready in a transferable document. Because these sites are a form of advertising, it is important that these items look professional. Site consultants are available for hire to help you design the best graphics for this job.
2. Research which restaurant portal would best suit your desired clientele and pay to list your restaurant. Restaurant portals such as BooRah.com, sell business listings. On your portal of choice, find and click on the link for restaurant owners. Follow the steps outlined and enter the requested information. Each portal will have its own requirements and payment schedule.
3. Encourage a friend, family member or your best customer to write a review for you on Web site review portals such as Yelp.com. Individuals can add a business listing if their restaurant of choice is not found. The individual will have to set up a free account on the desired site and follow the links to add the restaurant, proceeding with writing a review.
