Google Business Profile Menu Link: How to Add the URL

1. Publish a menu page first

A menu link only works if the page is already public. Create your menu, or bring the one you have from a PDF, a photo, a spreadsheet, or the page where it lives today. Read every dish and price, then publish. Building and previewing on a phone is free, and no card is needed. Publishing is the paid plan, one venue at a time.

Until you publish, the preview is only for you. Copy the address after the menu is live.

2. Copy the menu address, not the homepage

Use the address of the published menu. Do not paste a PDF, a photo, or a link that only lists a few popular dishes. Google's menu link is meant to be the menu itself.

If you later point your own domain at the menu, such as menu.yourrestaurant.com, the old address redirects to the new one. A link you already pasted keeps working, and so does the QR code on the table.

3. Paste it into the profile

You need to be an owner or a manager of that restaurant's Business Profile.

• Open the profile for this restaurant.
• Choose Edit profile, then Contact, then Menu link. That is the same path the publish screen in DigitalMenuKit names.
• Paste the menu address and save.

Google reviews the link on its own schedule. It can take days before the listing shows it. A ranking, and a clock, are not things anyone can promise. What the page carries is a dish-by-dish menu with prices as text, which is what a search engine can read. The longer account of that limit is restaurant menu SEO.

4. What this does not do

Some products push every dish into Google's menu editor. DigitalMenuKit does not. The listing stores your link. When a guest taps Menu, they land on your page, where each dish has its own address.

If you also typed dishes into Google's menu editor by hand, those entries are a second copy. Editing the menu here does not change that copy. Two copies will show two prices. Keep one source.

5. Keep the same link

Change a price, mark a dish sold out, or add a language, then publish. The page at the same address updates then. You do not paste the link again, and you do not print a new QR code. Download a fresh PDF when you want the paper to match. The formats are on printable menus.

The page is current the moment you publish. Google recrawls when it recrawls, usually days, not a promise of minutes. After the link is live, the day-to-day edit is covered in how to update your menu on Google Maps. If you only have a PDF today, turn it into a QR code menu before you paste anything.
