"Wine bar for a first date in Glasgow", "pub with a beer garden near Clapham Common", "cocktail bar open late in Shoreditch". These are AI questions now.

## What AI looks for

- **Type and occasion**: cocktail bar, wine bar, pub, sports bar; date night, groups, after work.
- **Practical facts**: opening hours, food, garden, dogs, live music, sport on TV.
- **Reviews** that mention the drinks, the atmosphere or the service.
- **Guides**: local "best bars" lists.

## Steps

1. Pick the occasions and questions you should win.
2. Make your Google profile specific: the right category, accurate hours and attributes.
3. Put your drinks and food menus on a web page in text.
4. Publish events (quizzes, live music, screenings) with dates.
5. Ask regulars to mention what they love in reviews.
6. Track the questions monthly or weekly.
