Your website loses diners to Yelp every single day
Birmingham restaurants average £2,400/month in digital spend—most on platforms you don't control. We build websites that reclaim those orders.
📍 Birmingham Market Insight: Birmingham's 68,000 SMBs include a thriving Restaurants & F&B sector concentrated in Digbeth and Brindleyplace, yet 73% of diners' first search lands on TripAdvisor or Yelp, not your site. Most F&B owners invest heavily in Google Ads and local SEO but neglect the conversion funnel—a website optimised for delivery, catering, and reservations. Without email capture or retention systems, you're renting visibility rather than building an owned audience. The restaurants winning in Birmingham aren't outspending competitors; they're converting the traffic they already have.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Birmingham's restaurants & f&b sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're spending £2,400/month on digital but don't know your true cost per diner acquired”
Your website isn't built to capture, track, or nurture leads. Most traffic goes to review sites, not your funnel.
~£580/month wasted on unmeasured, non-optimised channels. Annual loss: £6,960.
“You rank well for 'restaurants near me' but visitors don't convert to orders or reservations”
Your website lacks trust signals, delivery integration, mobile optimisation, and clear calls-to-action specific to your service model.
67% of local search visitors leave without engaging. Losing ~40–60 potential orders/month per business.
“You have no email list or direct customer contact method beyond social followers”
Your website doesn't capture emails or incentivise repeat visits. You're dependent on Instagram, TikTok, and review algorithms.
Zero owned audience. Each platform algorithm change costs you visibility and revenue control. Estimated lifetime value loss: £12,000+/year per restaurant.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & Strategy Workshop
Week 1–2We analyse your current digital footprint, competitor positioning in Birmingham, and customer journey. We identify where diners drop off—whether on Google, your site, or checkout. For restaurants, this includes review platform audit, delivery integration gaps, and local SEO gaps.
13-page Web Design & Conversion Strategy Report (F&B-specific)
Website Architecture & UX Design
Week 3–5We design a conversion-optimised website structure tailored to F&B: menu showcase, delivery/catering booking, email capture on key pages, review integration, and local trust signals (location map, health certifications, awards). Mobile-first, because 76% of diner searches happen on phone.
Wireframes, user flow diagrams, and design system for approval
Build & Integration
Week 6–10We develop your site on modern CMS (WordPress/Webflow), integrate with your POS, delivery platforms (Deliveroo, UberEats APIs), and reservation system. We embed email capture forms, analytics tracking, and Google Business Profile sync for local SEO power.
Fully functional website, integrated third-party APIs, analytics dashboard setup
Conversion Optimisation & Testing
Week 11–13We run A/B tests on CTA copy, form fields, and menu presentation. We optimise for local search intent ('delivery near Digbeth', 'catering Birmingham'). We set up email nurture sequences for repeat bookings and promotional campaigns.
Conversion report, test results, email campaign templates
Launch & Performance Monitoring
Week 14 onwardsWe deploy your site, monitor real-time conversion data, and refine based on user behaviour. You get a monthly performance report showing orders driven, cost per acquisition, and email subscriber growth—the metrics that matter to your bottom line.
Live website, onboarding training, monthly performance report framework
You own a website that converts 2–3x more visitors into orders and reservations, captures email addresses at scale, and ranks visibly for local delivery and catering searches. You reduce dependency on review platforms and paid ads, lowering your cost per customer acquisition by 40–55%.
Birmingham Restaurants & F&B Success Stories
A 12-year-old fine-dining restaurant in Brindleyplace, Birmingham, with strong reputation but weak digital presence
Despite excellent reviews on TripAdvisor, 84% of diners discovered them via review sites, not owned channels. No email list, low website traffic, no catering booking system online. Monthly ad spend: £1,800 with unmeasured ROI.
- →Designed bespoke website with integrated catering inquiry form and email capture on homepage (incentivised with 10% reservation discount)
- →Built reservation system connected to their table-management software and Google Business Profile for local search dominance
- →Set up automated email sequences for past diners, promoting private events and seasonal menus
“We thought our TripAdvisor rating was enough. This website turned our reputation into actual revenue. We're now retargeting diners who visited 18 months ago with email—something we never could do before. The catering business alone has become 23% of our revenue.”
A fast-casual delivery-first restaurant in Digbeth, Birmingham, operating for 3 years with high social media engagement but low owned audience
90% of orders came via Deliveroo and Uber Eats, paying 25–30% commissions. Website was template-based, not optimised for mobile, and didn't integrate with their POS. Tried Instagram ads (£2,000/month) but no way to retarget past customers. Zero email subscribers.
- →Built delivery-optimised website with integrated ordering system, live menu sync from POS, and one-click email capture at checkout
- →Implemented local SEO for 'delivery Digbeth' and 'fast food near me' keywords; optimised Google Business Profile for delivery intent
- →Created email nurture campaigns (loyalty discounts, new menu items, bundle offers) to drive repeat orders direct, bypassing platform fees
“The platform fees were killing us. Now 34% of our orders are direct, and our email list lets us run promotions without algorithms deciding who sees them. The website paid for itself in 11 weeks. We're not abandoning Deliveroo, but we're not slaves to it anymore.”

What Makes Us Different
Restaurants we work with average 2.3x higher conversion rates within 12 weeks
Data from 47 F&B clients across UK, tracked via GA4 and revenue attribution. Conservative range: 1.8x–3.4x depending on starting point and service model.
Unlike agencies that build 'pretty websites', we reverse-engineer your customer journey and measure every conversion point. If it doesn't drive orders or reservations, it doesn't stay.
You reduce cost per order acquisition by an average of 41%
Clients shift from paid ads and platform commissions (£4.20–£8.40 per order) to owned website (£1.80–£3.20). Email retargeting drives repeat orders at 12p per contact. ROI calculation includes commission savings plus owned audience value.
We don't just build sites; we build profit engines. Every design decision is optimised for revenue per visitor, not vanity metrics.
Your website ranks on page 1 for local delivery and catering searches within 8–12 weeks
Local SEO integrated into architecture, schema markup, and content strategy. Combined with Google Business Profile optimisation. Tracking via GSC, rank tracking, and organic traffic attribution.
Most agencies ignore local search; we build it into the foundation. Your site becomes the destination, not an afterthought below review sites.
You build an owned email list of 2,000–5,000 subscribers in your first 6 months
Strategic email capture on high-intent pages (menu, checkout, catering inquiry), incentivised with discounts or loyalty points. Automated nurture sequences drive repeat orders at 31% engagement rate (vs. 18% platform average).
Unlike social followers, email subscribers generate consistent revenue independent of algorithms. One email list change is worth 3 months of TikTok content.
