EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Austin restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
58,000 Austin restaurants fight for visibility. Most lose to Yelp.
Austin's food scene is booming, but 73% of restaurant searches funnel through Yelp and TripAdvisor—platforms you don't control. Your direct Google visibility determines whether locals find you or your competitor. Most Austin F&B owners lack email lists and retention strategies, meaning they're entirely dependent on paid ads and review sites. SEO isn't optional; it's your foundation for competing.
The 3 places Austin restaurants & f&b brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 restaurants & f&b brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Dominated by competitor rankings in 'delivery East Austin' and 'catering venues Austin.' No email strategy. 78% of food orders still routed through Yelp. Catering inquiries were unpredictable.
Built 12 hyperlocal landing pages targeting 'delivery [neighborhood]' and 'catering [venue type]' + event pages optimized for group size, capacity, and budget keywords.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 6 months, your restaurant ranks in Google's local pack for 15–25 high-intent keywords, organic traffic increases 180–300%, and you've captured 200+ email subscribers from organic search. You're less dependent on Yelp commission and paid ads, and repeat customer rate climbs 25–35%.
SEO Audit & Competitive Analysis
We analyze your current search visibility, technical health, and local pack performance. We identify where you rank, where competitors dominate, and which high-intent keywords (delivery, catering, reservations) you're missing. Austin's market demands hyperlocal targeting—we map it.
On-Page & Technical Foundation
We optimize your website architecture, page speed, and mobile experience. We build out keyword-targeted landing pages for delivery, catering, events, and neighborhood-specific searches. Every page is built for both search engines and conversion.
Local Authority & Review Ecosystem
We strengthen your Google Business Profile, manage review generation, and build citations across authoritative Austin directories. We don't ignore Yelp—we optimize for it while funneling primary traffic to your owned channels.
Content & Retention Bridge
We create SEO-driven content (blog, menu guides, event pages) that ranks and converts. Every piece has a clear path to email capture or reservation booking. Your organic traffic becomes an asset, not a one-time visitor.
Measurement, Refinement & Scaling
We track organic traffic, rankings, leads, reservations, and revenue attribution. Monthly, we analyze performance, refine keyword targeting, and scale what works. You see transparent monthly reports showing search volume gained and revenue impact.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“We'd tried two SEO agencies before. Both gave us dashboards and monthly reports with no movement. Omakaase told us what was actually broken in week one and fixed it. Six months in, we're on page one for every term that matters.”

“By month three, our main product keyword hit Page 1. By month six, we cut Google Ads spend by 40% because organic was finally doing its job. That's the real test.”

“The weekly Loom is something no one else offered. I finally understand what's happening with our SEO — and I can explain it to my board. That matters more than I expected.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long until we rank and see ROI from SEO?
Most Austin restaurants see measurable organic traffic increases within 8–12 weeks. Rankings for high-intent keywords (delivery, catering, events) typically appear in months 2–4. Revenue attribution follows: first attributed orders in month 2–3, meaningful revenue impact ($5K–$15K/mo) by month 5–6. We provide monthly dashboards so you track progress every step.
Will SEO help us compete with Yelp and DoorDash?
Yes, with a specific strategy. We can't remove Yelp from Google results, but we can make your website rank higher for 'delivery,' 'catering,' and neighborhood-specific queries. We also help you capture direct orders by optimizing your website for conversion and building email/SMS lists. Our clients reduce app dependency by 25–31% while capturing higher-margin direct sales.
We're a small restaurant. Can SEO work for us?
Absolutely. Small, single-location restaurants often see faster ROI than chains because they can dominate hyperlocal searches ('best [cuisine] [neighborhood]'). Your competition is thinner, and local searches are high-intent. We've scaled SEO from 500-seat restaurants to food trucks. The strategy adjusts to your size and budget.
What's included in your SEO service?
Technical SEO audit and fixes, on-page optimization (5–8 pages), local search optimization (Google Business Profile, citations, reviews), 8–12 pieces of SEO content, email capture funnel setup, and monthly performance reporting with revenue attribution. We also track and optimize based on what's driving the highest-intent traffic and conversions.
How much does it cost, and what's the typical engagement?
SEO retainers for Austin restaurants typically range $2,500–$6,500/mo depending on competition level, scope, and whether you need content creation. Most clients commit to 6 months minimum to see meaningful traffic and revenue growth. We offer transparent pricing with no surprises and can scale up or adjust based on results.
