Built for Restaurants & F&B Brands That Have Outgrown Their Last SEO Agency.
In the 1st, 8th, and Marais arrondissements, a restaurant without local SEO authority loses 40–60% of discoverable reservation traffic to better-optimised competitors before a single customer walks through the door.

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.
Paris restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
9,847 restaurants in Paris compete for the same Google search — 73% of diners decide where to eat using Google
Paris's restaurant market is Europe's most competitive, with 9,847 establishments ranging from Michelin 3-star palaces to casual bistros in Saint-Germain. Search data shows 2.2 million Parisians + 12 million metro visitors conduct 680,000+ 'restaurant near me' and cuisine-specific searches every month. 73% of diners use Google to discover or confirm a restaurant before arriving. Restaurants with strong local SEO authority — Google Maps rankings, consistent citations, and arrondissement-specific content — fill 35–50% more covers from organic traffic than competitors relying solely on word-of-mouth and Facebook. The luxury segment (Michelin-tracked establishments in the 8th, 1st, Marais) sees higher-intent search volume; casual bistros and ethnic cuisine neighbourhoods (Chinatown 13th, Belleville 11th) experience the highest search competition.

| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“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.”

“They found a technical issue in week one that had been suppressing our rankings for over a year. Two previous agencies missed it completely. That was the moment I knew.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much does restaurant SEO cost in Paris?
Paris restaurant SEO retainers typically run €1,800–€4,200/month depending on your current local pack position and the number of arrondissements/cuisine categories we're targeting. Our entry package starts at €1,400/month.
How long before we see more reservation enquiries from Google?
Most Paris restaurants see first incremental bookings within 60–90 days. Meaningful volume (35–50 covers/week from organic) typically arrives within 6–9 months.
Do you help Michelin-starred restaurants or just casual dining?
Both. We work with everything from casual bistros in the 11th to Michelin 3-star establishments in the 1st and 8th. The strategy differs — luxury restaurants target fewer, higher-intent searches; casual bistros target broader location/cuisine clusters.
Which arrondissement is most competitive for restaurant SEO?
The 1st (historic, mixed fine-dining), Marais (3rd/4th, extremely dense), and 8th (Champs-Élysées, luxury) are most competitive. But competition is high across all central arrondissements.
How important are Google reviews for Paris restaurant rankings?
Extremely important. The top 3 Google Maps positions in Paris average 156 reviews; position 4–9 averages 31 reviews. Review velocity (new reviews per month) is the single biggest ranking factor we control.
