How people actually search
Our research of real Google and Bing search suggestions in ten states turned up the same patterns everywhere: "open now", "today" and "within 1 mi" on hot dogs and lunch, people tracking where food trucks are today, and catering searches for parties, events and weddings.
Taco trucks show up all over the catering suggestions. Hot dog carts barely do. That's the opening.
What to do
- Set up your Google Business Profile. Hours, where you sell or the area you serve, real photos, and a link to your website.
- Give your website a catering page. Parties, office lunches, weddings, events: say what you do and how to book you.
- Post where you'll be today. People search for trucks and carts "today" and "this weekend".
- Put your cart on the Everything Hot Dogs map. Free, and it links to your website.
- Ask happy customers for reviews. On Google, and on Facebook if you use it.
Mistakes we see
- Living only on Facebook, where people who don't know your name never find you.
- Hours online that don't match when you're actually open.
