Free Restaurant Website Gallery Reviews Direction

Just few days ago, I post the example of using Blogger to create free restaurant website. Today, I add few more pages to the best pizza website to show restaurant photo gallery and restaurant reviews and restaurant direction. In the following example, I will show you how to create free restaurant website photo gallery, reviews and direction on blogger. You will also need Google PicasaWeb Albume account, Facebook Account and Google Map Business Listing Account.

So here is how it works. In Blogger, you can easily add new page to the restaurant website and reorganize the page on the top menu bar. By default, the page will be automatically added to the menu bar, so you don't have to deal with it.

To use the Photo gallery features, you simply create and upload your photos to your Picasa Web Album named "Photo Gallery". You then, create the slide show for the album and copy the embedded code to your page name Photo Gallery. The beauty is that Picasa Web Album is FREE services from Google. When you add more photos to the photo gallery, it will be automatically added to the slide show.

The next step is to create the restaurant reviews page using Facebook's Comment Social Plugins.You simply specify the domain of your website. In the comment plugin setting form. Please note that you can't not use the default Blogger URL. You will need to purchase your own domain and use the custom domain for your blogger site.You can follow the instruction under your Blogger Setting -> Publish Section.

Once you create the embedded code, you simply copy the Facebook comment plugin to your page. There is a more technical step involved, if you want to moderate your comments. You will need to add Facebook's open graph protocol on your blogger site. I will talk about that in the future. You can follow the instruction on Facebook Open Graph to enable your site for social search and comment moderation. The beauty of using Facebook Comment Box is the comment can be easily shared on the largest social network. It will in directly bring your organic and targeted traffic from social network.

The last thing is to add the driving direction and Google map on your site. So people can find your Google review and location easily.You simply search your business on Google Map and click on the LIKE on the right side of the bigger map. You can copy the embedded code for your map and paste on your restaurant direction page.

Google Map is a great Free tool for local business to reach out to potential local shoppers. Optimizing your Google Map is also important. If you have question about optimizing your Google Map listing to gain organic traffic and local search ranking, feel free to contact me.

As you can see, creating a free restaurant website is very easy. It only take you less then 2 days to put up a simple and robust restaurant website using blogger. Although, creating free restaurant website is easy, it is still not ideal way to gain organic search engine traffic. Blogger don't have good way to optimize your website using meta keyword and meta description for individual page. Using WordPress to create restaurant website is still the better way.
