Richmond is a bilingual search market (English plus Chinese) and most local SEO operators ignore the Chinese side entirely. Businesses that show up in Chinese-language results own a slice of the market that doesn't even appear in English keyword tools. Beyond that, Richmond is GBP-saturated — the territory winner is usually the business with the most reviews mentioning specific Richmond neighbourhoods (Steveston, Hamilton, Aberdeen).
What we'd do for restaurant in Richmond
Restaurant search is split between local pack (booking intent), AI search (recommendation intent — 'best [cuisine] in [city]'), and reservation platforms (OpenTable, Yelp). Most independent restaurants we audit have weak Google Business Profiles, no Posts, no menu uploaded as text (just PDFs Google can't read), and reviews they never respond to. Fix those four things and the rest follows.
Specifics adapt to the business. This is the general shape — the actual 90-day plan comes out of the audit we run before signing.
