Want your restaurant to show up first when people search on Zomato or Swiggy? Of course, you do! More visibility = more orders = more happy customers. Let’s break it down into easy steps.
- Keep Your Info Correct
Your restaurant name, address, hours, and contact details must be 100% right. If something is wrong, customers get confused. And confused customers don’t order.
- Upload Mouth-Watering Photos
People eat with their eyes first. A clear, tasty-looking food picture can make someone order instantly. Restaurants with good pictures get 35% more orders than those without. (Source: Zomato data)
- Get More Reviews (Good Ones!)
Reviews matter. The more positive reviews you have, the higher you rank. Ask happy customers to leave a review. Reply to every review, even bad ones. It shows you care. For example, Mumbai 86 Momo’s & More in Ghatkopar West improved its rating from 3.5 to 3.8 by actively engaging with customers and encouraging reviews.
- Run Offers & Discounts
People love discounts. Try a “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” or a ₹50 off deal. For example, Hyderabad Biryani House in Tampa offered a 15% cashback deal, attracting more customers. (groupon.com)
- Use Sponsored Listings (Paid Ads)
Want to be at the top of the search results instantly? Sponsored listings (paid ads) can help. When you run ads on Zomato or Swiggy, your restaurant appears higher when customers search for food. This means more visibility, more clicks, and more orders.
But how do you do it right? Should you target a specific time? Which dishes should you promote? What’s the best budget? Don’t worry—we’ll explain everything step by step in our next blog! Stay tuned.
- Deliver Fast
The faster your food reaches the customer, the better your ranking. A slow delivery = lower ratings. Keep your kitchen and delivery team super quick.
- Make Your Menu Easy to Read
Long, confusing menus = fewer orders. Short, simple menus = more orders. Highlight your bestsellers. Write clear descriptions. Example: Instead of “Paneer Makhani with a blend of aromatic spices,” just say “Creamy Paneer Makhani with Butter Roti.”
- Promote Your Listing on Social Media
Post your Zomato & Swiggy links on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. More clicks = better ranking. Share customer reviews, food photos, and special deals.
- Keep an Eye on Your Performance
Check your Zomato and Swiggy reports. See which dishes sell the most. Understand what’s working. Change things if needed.

Zomato and Swiggy love active restaurants. Update your menu, reply to reviews, and keep things fresh. The more active you are, the higher you rank!
