Accept Orders through your Google Business

Potential customers are looking for you! According to a Google Analytics research,  77% of people rely most on Google Maps to find businesses open nearby. So give those browsing customers a seamless way to both view your menu and instantly place an order directly from their search by adding your shop's custom joe online menu to your Google Business listing.

Set up joe as your Preferred Partner on Google Business

Tip: List your business as a 'Cafe' and Google Business will automatically create an Order Online button from your preferred order ahead links. You can add more categories such as 'Coffee Shop', ' Coffee Stand', or 'Coffee Roaster'. 
  1. Log in to your Google Business at www.google.com/business/
  2. Select the Info tab from the menu on the left-hand side. This Info section lists the key information listed including address, phone number, hours of operation, etc.
  3. Select the pencil icon next to Order ahead links or Online menu to edit.
  4. In the pop-up window, add your dedicated joe online menu link
  5. Select the Star icon next to the joe online menu link to make this ordering option your preferred option. 
  6. Select Apply to save those changes.

Please note, it may take 1-2 business days for Google Business to review and approve these changes. That's it - now your  joe online menu is linked directly to your Google My Business.

Post a Call to Action Offer

Potential customers are 50% more likely to try out a new service if an offer is attached to it. So give those potential customers the nudge they need by creating a promo code in joe and pairing that offer with the ease of ordering directly on your Google Business.

Customers are sure to fall in love with your product and the ordering experience. After their first purchase, we'll step in to bring them back more often!
