Quick answer
What is brewery SEO and where do I start?
Brewery SEO is the practice of making your brewery visible on Google when local customers search for taprooms, beer flights, or brewery tours near them. Start with your Google Business Profile and local citations. This hub connects every resource you need, organized by goal and experience level.
Key Takeaways
1Most brewery searches include a location modifier — local SEO is where the majority of new taproom foot traffic begins online.
2Google Business Profile optimization is the highest-use starting point for breweries with no existing SEO investment.
3Platforms like Untappd, BeerAdvocate, Yelp, and TripAdvisor function as local citations — they affect your map pack ranking.
4SEO results for breweries typically emerge in 3–6 months, depending on market competition and starting domain authority.
5This hub routes to six dedicated resources — use the navigation grid to find the guide that matches your current priority.

The Local SEO page provides deeper context behind the most important checklist items.
Most resources in this cluster focus on taproom and experiential brewery contexts because local, proximity-based search is where the majority of the opportunity sits. If your brewery operates primarily as a production facility or sells through distribution, the local SEO tactics apply less directly — though GBP and brand search optimization still have value.
Yes. The Brewery SEO Case Study page is specifically built to show what results look like in practice, with context about the strategy used and the timeline it took. It links to the statistics page so you can compare the results against broader industry benchmarks.
The Brewery SEO Audit Guide is the best starting point for answering that question. It walks you through a self-diagnostic process. If you surface significant technical issues, citation inconsistencies at scale, or are competing against breweries with substantially more domain authority, the audit guide links to professional brewery search engine optimization as the next logical step.
The frameworks and tactics covered across this hub apply broadly to breweries in any market. Where regional variation matters — particularly around competition levels and search volume — the statistics page notes that benchmarks vary by market size. The audit guide helps you assess your specific local competitive landscape rather than relying on national averages.
