Why Google search matters for Coquitlam Korean restaurants
Coquitlam has one of the highest concentrations of Korean residents in Metro Vancouver. Existing Korean customers come through KakaoTalk word-of-mouth — but 95%+ of new customers come from Google Search and Maps.
Searches like "Coquitlam Korean food", "Korean BBQ Coquitlam", and "코퀴틀람 한식" generate thousands of monthly queries. Without first-page presence, that market is invisible to you. Instagram only reaches people who already follow you. Search is where new customers come from.
