How to add or update your menu on Google Business Profile

Customers find your menu under the Menu heading on Google Search and Maps. Google offers several ways to fill it, and you can use more than one:

1. Go to your Business Profile.
2. Above the search results, select Edit menu.
3. To add a section, select Add menu section, enter the section name and at least one item, then select Save.
4. To add an item to a section, select Add menu item, enter the details, such as the description and price, then select Save.
5. To change something, select the item or section, make your edits and select Save.

• When it works, Google shows: Your menu has been updated. The updates will be published shortly.
• Deleting a section deletes every item in it, so move anything you want to keep first.
• Some businesses are offered existing menu data from another source to copy and update. Under Add these menu items?, select the provider's name to review it.

Owners and customers can both add dish photos and names in the Google Maps app. Names the business adds take precedence over customers' names.

1. Open the Google Maps app.
2. Search for your restaurant by name and town.
3. Tap Menu, then tap Add.
4. Add a photo of the dish.
5. Enter the dish name and tap Done. You can also mark whether the dish is recommended.

• To fix a dish someone else added, tap it, then More, and choose Edit dish name, Mark dish as incorrect, Offensive dish name or Dish not served here.
• Google aims to post these edits within a few days but doesn't guarantee they'll be published.

Check these first:

• It's too soon. Google says changes can take 24 to 48 hours to show on Maps and Search.
• You saw Something went wrong. Please try again. Make the update again and wait 24 hours. If the same error comes back, contact Google Business Profile support.
• You can't see Edit menu. The editor is for food and drink businesses only, and profiles whose menu comes from the Business Profile API may not have it. Other businesses can list what they do as services instead.
• An old menu photo from a customer is still showing. Flag it for removal and upload a correct one.
• Google copied the wrong prices from your website. Google may transcribe menus from websites; edit or delete the wrong item or section to correct it.
• You run several restaurants. Google says updating a menu across multiple profiles needs the Business Profile API.
