Eat Drink Texas
If your local attractions aren’t easy to find online, they lose out and so does the town. Digital marketing can be a real challenge though, between doing research, implementing SEO best practices, keeping sites updated, tracking your results, managing social media, and doing paid search campaigns.
Texas must boast thousands of great places to eat and drink including relatively obscure places scattered through small towns and rural areas. All of those BBQ joints, Tex-Mex restaurants, vegetarian-friendly delis, and Asian bistros need to be found by tourists.
As the second most populous state in the US, Texas boasts plenty of restaurants to suit any taste. The state is full of BBQ, ethnic, and even vegan restaurants. A simple search should make it easy to find great food to eat, such as BBQ pork in Austin or Thai food in Brownsville. Google searches alone are not enough to get a restaurant in front of enough diners. Why? When people search for Texas restaurants, they often don’t know what they want. Sometimes they aren’t even thinking of dinner.
Some places in Texas have become famous inside and outside the state for a variety of cuisines:
- Barbeque
- Tex-Mex
- Mexican
- Italian
- Asian and Asian-inspired
- Steak
- Vegetarian
- Baked goods
- Candy
Every town and city has something to offer visitors. Cross Plains boasts a museum devoted to fantasy icon Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the Barbarian), who spent much of his life there. Another little town boasts the best BBQ in North Texas, a claim backed by numerous awards. Think creatively and come up with ways to showcase your attractions to tourists with different interests, to day-trippers, and to people with various passions and hobbies.
Your town needs to promote, not just list, local attractions and festivities. A promotional partner can paint everything in a positive light that makes people want to visit. Smart digital marketing makes it easy for residents to learn more about the town. Tourists will find things to see and do more effectively.
- Events – fairs, festivals, sports
- Venues for events and business conferences
- Natural attractions – rivers, sand dunes, and more
- Museums – especially small, quirky, obscure
- Restaurants – everyone knows about the chains, so local and locally-owned places should get some attention.
- Historic landmarks – If your town hosts the first veterinary clinic or the oldest library or the first motorcycle manufacturer in the state, there is an audience that wants to know.
- Seasonal and special events – An upcoming anniversary, a Thanksgiving parade, a festival of lights before Christmas. The 130th birthday of fantasy icon Robert E. Howard.
- Outdoor activities – Hunting, fishing, kayaking, biking, camping, and more.
- Tours – Ghost tours, literary tours, and more.
Found TX exists to make it easier for city managers and tourism promoters to get local attractions and eateries in front of Web surfers interested in visiting Texas.

Texas can be divided up for promotional purposes in several ways, depending on your exact purpose. Most residents and regular visitors probably know some of the common names even if they can’t describe the regions in detail:
- Piney Woods
- Lakes and Prairies
- Big Bend
- Panhandle
- South Texas Plains
- Hill Country
- Gulf Coast
If you want to find great places to eat on your trip, a regional search like this is a good option for some. Shouldn’t you be able to find good Thai food or steaks nearby? And, wouldn’t you like to see a food and drink menu? Think like your customers.
If you are well-known for BBQ pork and beef, wouldn’t you want tourists to know that?
