What the free checkup looks like: plain answers, nothing to buy.

Walk into fifty restaurants and you'll find the same thing fifty times: a website that doesn't work on a phone, a Google listing with the wrong hours, and a handful of reviews because nobody ever asked the happy customers.

These owners aren't ignoring it. They're working eighty-hour weeks, and every marketing company that ever called them wanted thousands up front and talked in acronyms. So it stays broken, and it quietly costs them customers every day. That's the part we fix.

What we do

Three things that decide whether a stranger walks in

01

Websites

A fast site that tells a customer the four things they came for: what you sell, what it costs, when you're open, and how to get there. Designed from your actual place, not a template.

More about websites
  • Built, hosted, and kept up to date by us
  • Your online ordering linked, whatever you use
  • English and Spanish if you want it
02

Reviews

Asking for a review should be automatic, not awkward. We set it up so every customer gets asked, watch for bad reviews the day they land, and help you answer them.

More about reviews
  • Automatic review requests
  • Alerts when a new review comes in
  • Help writing replies, good and bad
03

Google & local SEO

Your Google Business Profile done properly, your listings matching everywhere people check, and the work that gets you onto the map for what nearby people are typing.

More about Google & SEO
  • Hours, photos, categories, menu
  • Apple Maps, Yelp, Bing kept in sync
  • Show up for "near me" searches
04

Text & email

Once people know you, give them a reason to come back. Simple promos and win-back messages to customers who already like you.

  • Promos for slow nights
  • Win back regulars who drifted
How it works

Start with a look, not a contract

Step 1

Free checkup

We look at your website, your Google listing, your reviews, and where you show up in search. You get plain answers about what's costing you customers. If you don't need us, we'll say so.

Step 2

We build it

You get a flat monthly price in writing. We build the site, fix the listing, and set up review requests. You see it and sign off before anything goes live.

Step 3

We keep it running

New hours, a new menu, a bad review on a Saturday night. You talk to the people doing the work, not an account manager, and it gets handled.

Questions

Straight answers

What does it cost?

It depends on what you actually need, which is why we start with the checkup. After that you get one flat monthly price in writing. No surprise add-ons.

I already have a website. Do I need a new one?

Maybe not. Sometimes the fix is a faster menu page and correct hours. We'll tell you whether to fix what you have or start over.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Your domain and your content are yours. If you ever leave, they go with you.

Will it work with my online ordering?

Yes. We link whatever you already use, whether that's Toast, SkyTab, Square, or something else. You don't have to switch anything.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. It's month-to-month.
