The Solution

Our Organic Search solution had a few focus areas…

Firstly, we reviewed and optimised the Google My Business profiles of every Côte restaurant. We identified key areas to improve that would boost their visibility within local search results and Google Maps. We also ensured there was consistency across Google Search and the brand website for the smoothest customer journey.

Next, we reviewed the individual landing pages for Côte’s 22 priority restaurants. Working with each restaurant team, we highlighted key USPs for each location and answered all the questions a potential customer would want to ask. We created new on-page copy for each restaurant, crafted with local search in mind.

This also included a complete audit and refresh of existing on-page content. In order to target commercial and non-branded terms, we optimised page titles, headings and meta descriptions, ensuring the results in the search engine results pages (SERPs) were as attractive and informative as possible.
