No it wouldn't. If someone opens up a new restaurant a block away there's not going to be much word of mouth when it just opened, and even if they make a website, web search will prioritise the websites of existing restaurants because their domains have been around longer and have more inbound links.
IDK what your community is like but if a new restaurant opened a block away from me then:
1. Every one would see it, because they have eyes and leave the house.
2. Every one would be talking about it.
it is 2025, no one just leaves the house. my wife leaves the house once per week for an hour to go to cosco :)
well, web search is one thing that would look very different
