Increasing Visibility and Reservations for a Farm-to-Table Restaurant
The Challenge
A family-owned farm-to-table restaurant with a strong local reputation was struggling to translate its offline charm into online engagement. While diners raved about the food and experience, the restaurant’s website saw minimal traffic, and their online reservation system was rarely used.
Competing restaurants with more active digital strategies were capturing both local and tourist traffic.
The team knew they had a unique story to tell—one rooted in sustainability, locally sourced ingredients, and community partnerships—but they needed help communicating it clearly and driving action online.
The Solution
Website Refresh & UX Optimization
We redesigned the site with a focus on mobile responsiveness, visual storytelling, and clear CTAs like “Book a Table” and “View Menu.”
​
We further added high-quality photography and updated navigation to highlight seasonal menus, special events, and their sourcing philosophy.
Email Marketing & Loyalty Strategy
We built an email list from website visitors and customers, launching a monthly newsletter featuring recipes, events, and farm updates.
We also created a simple VIP dining program with email-exclusive perks and early access to reservations for special dinners.
Content Marketing & Blogging
We launched a blog with behind-the-scenes content, including chef interviews, local farm spotlights, and seasonal menu previews.
​
Local SEO Strategy
We optimized Google Business Profile and implemented on-page SEO to improve rankings for keywords like “farm-to-table restaurant near me” and “organic restaurants in [city].”
We also created location-specific landing pages and schema markup for local business and reservations.
Email Marketing & Loyalty Strategy
We developed content templates and a visual strategy for Instagram and Facebook, highlighting daily specials, staff stories, and guest experiences.
We also encouraged user-generated content with hashtag campaigns and reposted guest photos to build engagement and trust.
