SEO is not instant - it's an investment. Most London F&B businesses see meaningful improvements (Page 1 rankings for some keywords) within 3-5 months. Top 3 positions typically take 6-12 months depending on competition. The earlier you start, the sooner you dominate your area.
Not necessarily. We can optimize your existing website if it's modern and mobile-friendly. However, if your site is slow, not mobile-optimized, or poorly structured, a redesign may be necessary. We'll audit your site and give honest recommendations.
Google Ads: Pay-per-click. Instant traffic. Stop paying = traffic stops. Expensive (£2-8/click for restaurant keywords in London).
SEO: Organic rankings. Takes 3-6 months. Once ranked, traffic is "free." Long-term investment. We recommend both: Ads for immediate bookings, SEO for sustainable growth.
Anyone who guarantees #1 rankings is lying - Google's algorithm changes constantly. What we CAN guarantee: White-hat strategies that follow Google guidelines, transparent reporting, and continuous optimization. Our track record speaks for itself: 89% of clients achieve Page 1 rankings within 6 months.
Both! We work with independent restaurants, cafés, bars, as well as small chains (2-10 locations). For multi-location brands, we implement enterprise SEO strategies including location-specific pages, centralized review management, and brand-level link building.
