What information can you capture from a restaurant's Google Business Profile?

The browser can capture visible food and venue photos, the rating, opening hours, review snippets and booking details shown on the profile. It works with what a diner can see on the live page, so missing reservations, outdated hours or weak photography should be corrected on the profile first.

What if my restaurant photos are weaker than my reviews?

Lead with the rating and review count, then use the best one or two food or atmosphere images as support. A large body of diner feedback can establish trust faster than a mixed photo gallery. The edit can also feature a concise review snippet before showing hours and the booking action.

Which video format should a restaurant choose?

Use vertical 1080x1920 for short-form feeds where diners discover nearby places while scrolling. Use horizontal 1920x1080 for wider placements or embedded pages. Both are rendered at 30fps in H.264. The right choice depends on where the restaurant plans to publish the ad.

How much does it cost to create restaurant videos?

Two videos cost $19. The $39 monthly plan includes eight videos. The first restaurant video is created from the Google Business Profile alone, while later videos can use a prompt to emphasise a particular service, dining occasion, menu period or booking message supported by the page.

How do I make a video ad from my Google Business Profile?

Give Sizzledraft the URL for your restaurant's Google Business Profile. A headless browser visits the page and captures the visible food and dining-room photos, rating, opening hours, review snippets and booking details. The first video is cut from the profile alone, so it reflects what a prospective diner can already verify. Sizzledraft uses the page's visual cues to author the scene, then renders it frame by frame. Choose vertical 1080x1920 for short-form placements or horizontal 1920x1080 for wider placements. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS.

What should a restaurant video ad show first?

Start with the strongest reason to trust the restaurant. For many Google Business Profiles, that is the review count and rating rather than the photography. Put that proof beside one clear food image, then move into atmosphere, a useful review snippet and a direct booking cue. Avoid opening with a slow logo reveal or a long exterior shot. A diner should understand the cuisine, the level of social proof and the intended occasion within the first few seconds. If the photos are inconsistent, use fewer of them and let the rating, hours and booking information carry more of the message.

Can a restaurant video use trending sounds correctly?

Yes, but the trending sound should be attached inside the social platform rather than baked into the exported restaurant video. Sizzledraft can hand over the relevant sound as a link so you can add it natively when posting. This matters because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound on the platform. The rendered file still includes scored audio normalised to -14 LUFS, which you can use where a native sound is unnecessary. For later videos, you can add a prompt to focus the edit on a lunch menu, date-night atmosphere, weekend booking window or another restaurant-specific angle supported by the profile.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser captures the restaurant's visible photos, rating, hours, review snippets and booking information from its Google Business Profile. The review count is often the strongest asset because it provides clear social proof, while profile photos can vary in quality, age and style. Sparse or inconsistent photography limits how confidently the video can sell specific dishes or atmosphere.

The common mistake

A common mistake is filling the ad with every available food photo, even when the images differ sharply in lighting and quality. Use only the strongest photographs, lead with the rating and review count, then finish with clear hours and a booking action.

Food photos on the profile may be old, poorly lit or uploaded by diners, making it hard to present a consistent menu and atmosphere.
A high rating and large review count build trust, but they can feel static or cluttered when copied directly into a restaurant video.
Hours, location and booking details must be readable without distracting viewers from the dishes and dining room.
