Local search

One page per place you serve: Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Gondar, Lalibela, Hawassa and Mekelle. Each with your address, opening hours and a map link in structured data (LocalBusiness), and the city in its title.

Prices and phone numbers

Show prices in ETB with the currency code in your structured data, and phone numbers as +251 …, so search results and WhatsApp can use them.

Fast on mobile data

Most searches in Ethiopia happen on phones. Engine measures real visitors’ speed (LCP, CLS, INP) and flags heavy pages, images and scripts.

Payments people trust

Telebirr mobile money; cash birr still dominant outside Addis. Say so on your pages and in paymentAccepted, because it is what buyers look for.

A .et domain, or not

.et tells search engines your site is for Ethiopia. On a .com, use hreflang and a local address and number instead. Engine checks both.
