      How to Add Your Online Ordering Link to Google and Yelp to Drive More Orders

      Adding your Smart Online Order link to your Google and Yelp business listings helps direct customers to order from you directly, avoiding costly third-party platforms and making a strong first impression.

      ✅ Why This Is Important

      • Captures More Direct Orders – Prevents customers from defaulting to DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.

      • Avoids Commission Fees – Direct orders save you 20–30% in third-party fees.

      • Improves Customer Experience – They get your full menu, accurate pricing, and loyalty points.

      • Boosts Your App Usage – Especially when the link directs to your branded online ordering app.

      🔗 Step-by-Step: Add Online Ordering Link to Google Business Profile

      1. Log into Google Business Profile Manager

      2. Select your business location.

      3. In the Info section, look for the field titled "Order Online" or "Website".

      4. Paste your Smart Online Order link (e.g., https://yourrestaurant.smartonlineorder.com).

      5. Click Apply.

      💡 If “Order Online” isn’t available, paste the link under “Website” and include ordering details in your business description: “Order online for pickup/delivery at [link].”

      🔍 Step-by-Step: Add Online Ordering Link to Yelp

      1. Claim or log in to your business account at Yelp for Business.

      2. Navigate to the Business Information section.

      3. Look for Online Ordering Options or Call to Action.

      4. Paste your Smart Online Order link.

      5. Save and publish changes.

      💡 If you see third-party ordering options (like Grubhub or Seamless), request Yelp to remove those or set yours as the primary link.

      🖼 Pro Tip: Use Custom Call-To-Actions

      Update your business descriptions with phrases like:

      • “Order direct and save – no hidden fees!”

      • “Get loyalty points when you order through our website/app.”

      • “Use code APP10 when you order with our mobile app!”

      📲 Where to Find Your Smart Online Order Link

      • Check your onboarding email or Smart Online Order dashboard.

      • It usually looks like:
        https://[YourRestaurantName].smartonlineorder.com

      🔁 Review and Maintain

      • Test the link regularly to ensure it works.

      • Update it if your menu link changes or you switch to a new app version.

      • Monitor your listing insights (Google or Yelp) to track clicks and user engagement.
