Chinese restaurants, French restaurants, Indian restaurants, Italian restaurants, Japanese restaurants and mediterranean restaurants, plus 4 more. Each has its own ranked list.
Can a business pay to appear on these Seattle lists?
Yes. A business can buy a listing, including the top spot, and paid listings are marked Featured Partner. What it cannot buy is a better rating or more reviews: the star ratings and review counts shown are the real Google numbers either way.
