Café questions are local and specific, so small independents can win them.

## 1. Fill in your Google profile completely

Category ("Coffee shop", "Café", "Bakery"), hours, and every attribute that applies: Wi-Fi, outdoor seating, dog-friendly, vegan options, wheelchair access, good for working.

## 2. Keep hours current

Cafés change hours often. AI repeats stale hours confidently.

## 3. Have a simple website or page

Even one page with your address, hours, menu in text and what you're known for gives AI a source of its own.

## 4. Invite honest reviews

Invite genuine guests to describe their experience in their own words. Do not script keywords or promise that a review will appear in an AI answer.

## 5. Get on local lists

"Best coffee in [city]" lists in local guides and blogs are sources AI quotes.

## 6. Check monthly

Ask ChatGPT and Gemini "best coffee in [your area]" and see who comes up. Our [Track plan](https://akkrev.com/pricing/) does it weekly for £49 a month.
