The problem

Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Thames?

01

Rankings, but no calls

Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Restaurants & Cafes in Thames need people close by searching "best cafes", not readers from the other end of the country.

02

Losing "near me" searches

Diners decide from photos, menus and recent reviews, often while visiting or travelling.

03

Messy listings and schema

Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, First Table and old directories confuse Google and push your restaurant down the map in Kōpū.

04

Rising cost per lead

Ratings swing quickly after a few bad weekends if review replies are slow. Paying per click for every Thames lead gets expensive fast.

How we work

How we do local SEO for restaurants & cafes.

Google Business Profile optimisation

Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your restaurant's profile so it is eligible to rank across Thames.

  • Primary category set to “Restaurant”, with tested secondary categories
  • Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
  • Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
  • Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at Parawai and Tararu
  • LocalBusiness schema with exact coordinates on your site
Why this matters

If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
