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.
Minneapolis restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
Minneapolis F&B businesses lose 40% of search traffic to review sites
Minneapolis's competitive F&B market is fragmented across Yelp, TripAdvisor, and Google—while most restaurants rely solely on social followers with zero retention strategy. Local search demand for delivery and catering terms is up 28% YoY, but 70% of restaurants aren't optimized for these high-intent queries. This gap creates opportunity: restaurants that own their organic search presence capture customers at the exact moment they're hungry and ready to order.
The 3 places Minneapolis 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.
The restaurant ranked on page 3–4 for 'Minneapolis catering' and 'North Loop private events'—missing 60% of catering inquiry volume. Google Business profile had outdated menu photos and incomplete service categories. No website content mentioned catering or event packages.
Created dedicated 'Catering & Events' landing page with keyword-optimized content, menu samples, testimonials, and clear CTA for catering inquiries.

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
Within 6 months, your restaurant owns a predictable channel of organic customers searching for your cuisine, location, and services. You rank for 30+ high-intent keywords, capture 40–60% more organic traffic than competitors, and build an email list of repeat customers—reducing your dependency on Yelp and social platforms.
Competitive & Search Audit
We analyze your current Google Business profile, website, and keyword rankings versus local competitors and regional chains. We identify which delivery and catering queries you're missing and where your on-page SEO gaps are. This audit includes Yelp / TripAdvisor competitive positioning.
Keyword & Content Strategy
We map out 40–60 high-intent keywords across your service area (delivery, dine-in, catering, events). We prioritize terms where you can realistically rank within 60–90 days. For Minneapolis restaurants, we focus on North Loop, Downtown, and neighborhood-specific modifiers.
On-Page & Technical Optimization
We restructure your website architecture to support location and service pages. We optimize your Google Business profile with accurate hours, service categories, posts, and photos. We implement schema markup for restaurant menu, reviews, and catering offers so Google understands your service offerings.
Content Creation & Authority Building
We create 8–12 pieces of SEO-optimized content per quarter (blog posts, landing pages, menu guides, catering guides). Each piece targets keyword clusters and drives email signups. We build local authority through Minneapolis food blogger partnerships and local directory placements.
Monitoring, Testing & Growth
We track rankings, traffic, leads, and revenue weekly. We A/B test landing pages and CTAs to improve conversion rates. We identify which keywords drive paying customers and double down on those. Monthly strategy calls review what's working and optimize the next 30 days.
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.

|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |

What this typically looks like for a Minneapolis restaurants & f&b brand
The median restaurants & f&b client after 6 months

“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.”

“I've run three agencies through their paces. This is the first one that attributes everything back to revenue. Rankings are vanity. Pipeline is the point.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long until we see rankings and traffic?
Quick wins (keyword rankings, traffic increases) typically appear within 60–90 days for low-competition, high-intent terms (delivery, catering, neighborhood-specific searches). Authority-building keywords take 4–6 months. The key: we prioritize terms that drive revenue fastest, not just brand prestige. One client saw 18+ catering inquiries per month within 5 months—that's a real business outcome, not just a ranking.
Will this hurt our Yelp or Google Business profile visibility?
No—SEO strengthens your entire online presence. A stronger website pulls more customers to your Google Business profile (which shows in local pack results). More reviews and engagement on GBP then boost your website rankings. They work together. We optimize both your website and GBP as part of the same strategy.
How much content will we need to create?
For a restaurant, 4–6 pieces per month is typical (blog posts, location pages, service guides, catering guides, menu content). This isn't fluffy content—every piece targets specific keywords and has a business goal (drive delivery orders, build email list, rank for catering). We handle creation; you review and approve before publishing.
What if we already use DoorDash, Uber Eats, or other delivery platforms?
Those platforms are critical for reach, but they take 15–30% commission. Organic search captures customers searching specifically for your restaurant on Google—those are lower-cost, higher-margin orders. Best practice: you run delivery on multiple channels (Uber, DoorDash, your website) and let organic SEO drive customers to your own site, where commission is zero.
How do we know this will actually drive revenue, not just traffic?
We track attribution from keyword to inquiry to customer. We set up conversion tracking, UTM parameters, and (ideally) your POS system integration so we can show which organic keywords drive paying orders. Monthly reporting shows visits, leads, and estimated revenue—not just rankings. If a keyword doesn't convert, we pivot or double down on ones that do.
