Short Answer
Publish your menu or price list as ordinary text on a public webpage. Clearly connect each item or service with its price and any conditions. Keep a designed image or PDF as an additional version, and update both together.
Explanations
Google recommends making important content available in text for AI Overviews and AI Mode. On a menu or price list, that means giving each item a clear name and keeping its description, price and conditions together. This gives a search system explicit details to draw on when answering a relevant customer question. Google’s guidance
Use familiar headings such as “Lunch menu” or “Haircut prices”, and explain whether a figure is per person, per session or a starting price. Include relevant availability, such as weekday lunch hours. Keep the page accessible without signing in and link to it from your main navigation.
Your designed menu can remain available for viewing or printing. Review every version when details change. Clear text supports access to the information; inclusion in AI answers still depends on the system and the question.
Example
Imagine a café in Leeds whose website shows a photograph of its lunch menu. It adds a “Lunch menu” page stating: “Soup and a sandwich: £9.50 per person, Monday to Friday, noon to 3pm.” The café links to that page from its main menu and updates the photograph to match. The written details give a search system information relevant to a question about weekday lunches under £10 in Leeds.
Takeaway
Make the current menu or price list easy to find, read and maintain. Include the details a customer needs to assess the offer, and update every published version when those details change.
