The food truck operators we work with
At Localsearch, we market food trucks for a business with a moving address. The two searches that matter are where are you today and can you cater our event. We keep the location current, keep the profile alive, and build a proper page for the private and corporate bookings that pay far better than a lunch service.
What we hear most
- 1Location changes daily and nothing online keeps up.
- 2Event and private bookings come through DMs and get missed.
- 3Markets and festivals take a fee for the audience you could reach yourself.

Questions food truck operators ask
Can a mobile business have a Google profile?
Yes, as a service-area business. You won't get a pin at a fixed address, but you'll appear for hire and catering searches across your region.
Where does the real money come from?
Private and corporate bookings for most operators. A single event can match a week of markets, and it's booked in advance.
How do we keep the schedule current?
One page on the site that you update weekly, linked from every social bio. It saves answering the same question fifty times.
