Free plan.
San Francisco operates as a city of fiercely independent neighborhoods packed into seven miles by seven miles, where customers walk, bike, or take Muni and BART instead of driving. That changes the marketing math more than most operators recognize. A Mission customer doesn't go to the Marina for dinner. A Richmond regular rarely crosses to SoMa. The Sunset has its own food scene that locals defend. Hayes Valley has reinvented itself into one of the most concentrated upscale-casual corridors in America. Chinatown holds century-old institutions alongside contemporary openings. North Beach runs on its own Italian-American rhythm. And Levi's Stadium — branded as the home of San Francisco's NFL team but actually forty miles south in Santa Clara — means World Cup fans, 49ers visitors, and major event tourists who think they're heading to SF mostly stay in Santa Clara and the South Bay. Underneath all of it sits a customer base that's some of the most discerning in America, with high standards for ingredient sourcing, technique transparency, and operator voice; generic 'farm to table' content reads as inauthentic instantly. DEON is the AI marketing manager built for that hyper-local density. Type your restaurant's name into DEON and you get a website evaluation tuned to an SF diner — mobile reservation flow, menu visibility, photo quality, walk-from-BART or Muni clarity for transit-dependent customers — plus a local SEO audit: Google Business Profile categories that match your cuisine, NAP across Yelp, Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and TripAdvisor, schema markup, and neighborhood-level keywords for the Mission, Hayes Valley, Marina, North Beach, Chinatown, the Richmond, the Sunset, Castro, SoMa, NoPa, the Haight, and the rest. DEON keeps working from there. It monitors reviews across Google, Yelp, Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and TripAdvisor, drafts replies in your voice, and surfaces sentiment trends. It writes content grounded in actual specifics — farm names, producer relationships, technique vocabulary — that an SF diner will recognize as a real operator wrote it. It queues content ahead of Outside Lands, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Pride, Giants and Warriors home stands, the SoMa tech-event calendar, and the cycles that shape your neighborhood specifically. No agency, no marketing hire, no setup call.
Unlike LA or Dallas, San Francisco customers walk, bike, or take Muni and BART to most meals. Your real radius is five to ten blocks, not five miles. A Mission spot competes with other Mission spots, not with the Marina. DEON's SEO and competitor analysis work at the genuine SF customer radius — block-by-block, not 'San Francisco' as a single market. This changes which competitors matter and which search terms convert.
San Francisco diners are some of the most discerning customers in America. They notice when content sounds AI-generated, when menus lack specificity, when 'farm to table' is just phrasing with no actual sourcing behind it. DEON learns your real voice and grounds content in actual specifics — ingredient sources, neighborhood references, technique descriptions, named producer relationships — so your social posts don't sound like every other 'authentic neighborhood spot' on the internet.
Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, and the Embarcadero serve tourists who research on TripAdvisor and walk in from hotels. The Mission, Hayes Valley, and Castro serve locals who book on Resy and discover rooms via Instagram or Eater SF. The Richmond and Sunset serve neighborhood regulars who walk past you. DEON tunes content, SEO targeting, and review-reply tone to whichever audience your address actually serves.
When Eater SF, the SF Chronicle, or Tablehopper covers a room, reservations spike. But many operators aren't ready when coverage lands — menu isn't optimized, photos are weak, Google Business Profile is incomplete, Resy listing is thin. DEON builds the kind of online presence that not only attracts coverage but also converts the traffic when it arrives, instead of letting the spike pass through to competitors.
The stadium branded as 'San Francisco's' is actually forty miles south in Santa Clara, with most San Francisco hotels forty-five to sixty minutes away in traffic. World Cup fans, 49ers visitors, and major Levi's concert tourists who think they're heading to SF mostly book in Santa Clara, San Jose, Sunnyvale, or Milpitas. SF restaurants who optimize for stadium-event SEO often capture the wrong traffic. DEON handles this geography correctly.
Agencies that understand SF's seven-by-seven block-level competitive density, sophisticated-customer register, multi-platform reservation culture (Resy plus Tock plus OpenTable), and tech-corporate catering economy charge accordingly. Most independents can't justify it, and doing it yourself adds twenty hours a week you don't have. DEON delivers the same audit, content, and reviews for $19.99 a month on Pro or $39.99 on Unlimited. Both include a 7-day money-back guarantee.
DEON evaluates your site the way an SF diner does — mobile reservation flow, menu visibility, photo quality, walk-from-BART or Muni clarity for transit-dependent customers, and the practical info that decides whether someone makes the seven-block walk. You get a prioritized fix list ranked by impact on covers.
DEON audits visibility for your specific SF neighborhood — Mission, Hayes Valley, Marina, North Beach, Chinatown, the Richmond, the Sunset, Castro, SoMa, NoPa, the Haight, Cole Valley, Glen Park. Google Business Profile categories, NAP across Yelp and Resy, schema markup, and neighborhood-specific landing content all get checked.
Instagram and Facebook posts grounded in actual specifics — your farm sources named, producer relationships called out, technique vocabulary, neighborhood references SF diners actually recognize. DEON learns your voice from your menu and past posts, then drafts a week of content that reads like a real SF operator wrote it.
Reviews across Google, Yelp, Resy, Tock, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor monitored together, with sentiment trends and drafted replies. Resy and Tock get weighted heavily because SF's reservation culture has fragmented across both platforms. SMS alerts on the Unlimited plan.
For operators near SoMa, Mission Bay, the Financial District, and the broader tech corridor, DEON builds catering-friendly content — group-dining menus, corporate booking workflows, photo strength for B2B browsing, easy office-delivery info. Tech catering is significant recurring revenue for SF operators who actually show up for it online.
DEON identifies the three independent restaurants competing most directly for your customers — the Mission neighbor two doors down on Valencia, the Hayes Valley spot across Hayes, the Richmond room across Clement, not a Marina restaurant serving a different audience. Side-by-side comparison on photos, menu, reviews, and SEO.
Sample SEO finding
Your Google Business Profile lists 'American Restaurant' as your primary category, but your room is specifically a Hayes Valley upscale-casual kitchen with a stated commitment to named Bay Area producers, a four-course tasting Thursday through Saturday, and a five-seat counter that books on Tock two months out. Searches for 'best tasting menu Hayes Valley' and 'Bay Area producer restaurant SF' look for 'New American Restaurant' or 'Tasting Menu Restaurant' as primary signals plus neighborhood specificity in the description. Adding the correct primary, refreshing the description with your producer names and tasting format, and uploading three current course photos typically lifts impressions for Hayes Valley fine-dining searches by 30 to 50 percent within two weeks. DEON Pro applies the fix in one click once you connect your Google Business Profile.

DEON works at the neighborhood level. The Mission, Hayes Valley, the Marina, North Beach, Chinatown, the Richmond, the Sunset, Castro, SoMa, NoPa, the Haight, Cole Valley, Glen Park — each has different demographics, food culture, and search patterns. DEON's audit and content reflect your specific neighborhood instead of bucketing the 7x7 city into a single 'SF' target.
DEON tailors marketing based on which audience your room serves. Tourist-zone operators (Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, the Embarcadero) get TripAdvisor optimization and clear-from-landmark directions. Local-focused operators (Mission, Hayes Valley, the Richmond, the Sunset) get Resy and Tock optimization plus Eater SF discoverability work.
Use the Santa Clara page. Levi's Stadium is forty miles south of San Francisco proper, and stadium-event fans should be reached through Santa Clara and South Bay marketing — not through SF marketing that would push you against unrelated competitors. The underlying AI marketing manager is identical; only the SEO targeting differs.
Yes. SF content emphasizes specificity — farm names, producer relationships, technique details. DEON learns your actual sourcing from your menu and website and writes content that reflects it, instead of falling back on generic 'fresh local ingredients' language that SF customers see through in seconds.
Yes. DEON monitors and helps optimize listings across Resy, Tock, OpenTable, Google, and Yelp. SF's reservation culture has fragmented across multiple platforms, and DEON tracks them all — including the operators who book on Tock-only and don't appear on Resy at all.
No. DEON learns your voice from your website and menu. A Mission family taqueria, a Hayes Valley tasting menu, a Richmond dim sum spot, and a Marina brunch place should all sound completely different — and with DEON, they do. Captions preserve your tone instead of flattening it into a tourist-friendly template.

Yes. DEON's audit includes catering-relevant content — menu structure, group-dining pages, corporate booking workflows, easy office-delivery information. Tech catering is significant revenue for many SF restaurants, especially those in or near SoMa, Mission Bay, and the Financial District.
