We do our best work for one kind of client.
Not every brand is the right fit for how we work. Here’s how to tell if you are.

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.
Sheffield restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
Rank higher than Yelp. Get found by hungry Sheffield customers.
Sheffield's ~28,000 SMBs include a thriving independent restaurant and F&B scene, but most sit invisible on Google. Competitors dominate review sites while you miss local 'best restaurants near me' and 'delivery Sheffield' searches worth thousands monthly. SEO here isn't optional—it's the difference between booked tables and empty seats. Your local market is hungry for discovery; the question is whether you'll be found first.
The 3 places Sheffield 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.
Ranked page 3–4 for location + cuisine searches. Lost 25+ customers monthly to competitors who appeared in the Local Pack. No email list or customer retention strategy beyond walk-ins.
Fully claimed and rebuilt Google Business Profile with complete menu, 80+ high-quality images, and weekly updates.

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, you'll rank in the Local Pack for 8–15 high-intent local searches, reclaim customers from review sites, and see a 40–60% increase in organic bookings. You'll own your local search presence and reduce reliance on third-party platforms.
Audit & Opportunity Map
We audit your current Google presence, review site listings, website structure, and local citations. We identify which 'near me' and category searches (e.g. 'gluten-free Sheffield', 'Sunday roast Kelham Island') you could own in 90 days. This is Sheffield-specific intelligence—we know your competitors and what's ranking.
Google Business Optimisation
Your Google Business Profile is your single biggest asset for local search. We claim it (if unclaimed), complete every field, add high-quality images, and optimise your menu schema. We ensure consistency across all review sites and directories. This alone can move you from page 3 to the Local Pack.
Local Content & Schema Build
We create location pages, menu pages, and seasonal content that target local intent (e.g. 'Best Vegan Restaurants in Sheffield', 'Private Dining Kelham Island'). Each piece is optimised with local schema markup so Google understands what you offer and where. Content strategy is tied to your booking and delivery KPIs.
Technical SEO & Site Speed
Slow websites lose customers and rankings. We optimise your site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability. We ensure your reservation system, menu PDFs, and delivery integrations don't block search engines. Every element supports your booking funnel.
Review & Reputation Management
Reviews signal trust to Google and customers. We set up a system to collect reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, and Yelp. More reviews = higher rankings + higher conversion. We monitor and respond to protect your reputation and reinforce local authority.
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.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“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.”

Director of Growth · E-commerce Brand
“Month-to-month contracts and no lock-in wasn't just a selling point — it forced them to earn our business every month. They always did.”
Emma S.
CEO · Professional Services, $6M revenue
“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.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before we see results?
You'll see GBP improvements and review increases within 2–4 weeks. Rankings for competitive keywords typically appear within 12–16 weeks. We focus on quick wins (citations, reviews, schema) while building the foundation for sustainable rankings. Most clients see booking increases within 8–12 weeks.
What if we already use a reservation system or Deliveroo?
SEO complements those platforms—it doesn't replace them. We optimise your Google presence so you capture customers before they land on aggregators. Many of our clients use both channels; SEO just means you own the initial discovery and reduce reliance on commission-heavy platforms.
Do you manage Google Ads or just organic?
We specialise in organic SEO. If you want Google Ads (PPC) alongside SEO, we partner with trusted Sheffield-based PPC specialists. Most restaurants benefit from both: SEO for long-term, recurring traffic; Ads for immediate bookings on high-intent queries. We'll recommend the mix based on your budget and seasonality.
How much does this cost?
Our retainer range is £900–£3,500/month depending on scope, competition level, and your goals. A local restaurant in a less competitive area might be £900–£1,400. A multi-location or highly competitive search environment could be £2,500–£3,500. We'll quote based on your specific audit. No setup fees; you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
What if we don't rank after 6 months?
We have a low bar for success: if you don't see movement in the Local Pack or page 1 for at least 5 of your target keywords, we'll work for free until you do (capped at 4 additional weeks). Transparency works both ways. We only succeed when you do.
