Why these areas are so competitive
- Busy food streets and malls bring huge search volume, so established restaurants have collected reviews for years.
- Chains and well-known brands sit in the top 3 and keep adding reviews every day.
- A new restaurant here should expect a long climb, and should win its own street and nearby searches first.
