Stop paying high commissions.
Drive direct bookings and keep your profits.
Work with a dedicated SEO team based in the UK, offering local expertise and reliable support.
Our SEO strategies focus on measurable growth and long-term results for your business.
We don’t lock you into contracts – stay with us because it works, not because you have to.
Third-party apps take up to 30% of your order value. While they bring volume, they kill profit. We pivot your strategy to Brand Defence. We ensure that when a customer searches for your restaurant name, your website ranks #1, not Just Eat bidding on your brand keywords. This reclaims the customer relationship and keeps 100% of the revenue.
Anyone can fill a restaurant on Saturday night. The profit is made on Tuesday. We build “Mid-Week Intent” strategies. We optimise your site for searches like “Best Weekday Lunch Deal,” “Happy Hour Cocktails,” or “Tuesday Steak Night,” driving footfall when your kitchen is open but your tables are empty.
Diners are using AI to decide where to eat, asking tools like ChatGPT and Google about menus, atmosphere and dietary needs, queries like “best gluten-free pizza in [City]” or “quiet romantic dinner spots.”
To fill the tables, you must be the top recommendation.
Our Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) strategy serves you up as the answer. We optimise your menu data, schema, and local profile so when AI suggests a restaurant, it sends diners to your door.
The hospitality industry thrives on visibility and reputation. Our monthly packages are designed to reduce your reliance on high-commission delivery apps and drive direct table bookings. We balance urgent “near me” visibility with the strategic content needed to fill tables during quiet periods and secure high-value group reservations.
Diners rarely search for just “restaurant.” They search for cravings. We target specific, high-intent phrases such as “best Sunday roast,” “gluten-free pizza,” or “authentic Thai curry.” This connects you with hungry customers looking for exactly what is on your menu, leading to higher conversion rates.
Most dining decisions are made on impulse using mobile devices. We rigorously optimize your Google Business Profile to ensure you dominate the “Local Pack” and Map results. We ensure your opening hours, location, and contact details are accurate across all directories so diners find you first.
In hospitality, digital word-of-mouth can make or break a business. We implement strategies to encourage happy diners to leave 5-star reviews and help you showcase your best feedback. A strong rating profile builds immediate trust and encourages new customers to choose your venue over competitors.
We analyse the top-performing venues in your area to understand their success. Whether they are capturing the “business lunch” crowd or ranking for “romantic dinner,” we identify their strategies and find opportunities for you to capture that market share and fill your tables.
Hungry users are impatient. If your menu is a slow-loading PDF, you lose customers. We ensure your website is fast and your menu is easy to read on any smartphone. A smooth mobile experience with clear “Book Now” buttons drives immediate action and reservations.
We speak Google’s language by using advanced code (Schema markup) to highlight your menu items, prices, and star ratings directly in search results. This helps AI and search engines understand your cuisine, giving you a competitive edge in “zero-click” searches and voice queries.
We’re proud to be recognised as a leading SEO agency by businesses across the UK. With multiple awards, including best nationwide SEO services provider, and top ratings on Trustpilot and Google, our reputation is built on delivering real results.
Our clients value our transparent communication, data-driven strategies and dedication to helping businesses grow online. With over 10 years experience in SEO and a proven track record in delivering results, you can trust us to drive sustainable growth online.
Google can’t “taste” your food, but it reads your menu. Most restaurants upload a PDF menu that Google can’t read. We convert your menus into Schema-Marked HTML. This allows you to rank for specific dishes (e.g., “Best Beef Wellington in [City]” or “Vegan Lasagne”), capturing diners with specific cravings before they even choose a venue.

Selling a £10 burger is good; selling a £2,000 Christmas party is better. We build dedicated “Event Silos” to rank for high-value terms like “Private Dining Room [City]” or “Christmas Party Venues.” This attracts the corporate bookers and large groups that drive your most profitable shifts.

He holds professional certifications in SEO, including the Ahrefs Certification, and has led data-driven strategies that have significantly increased organic traffic and search engine rankings for clients in a wide range of industries.
Diners search by occasion, not just cuisine. We optimise your site for “Vibe Keywords” such as “Romantic Date Night Restaurant,” “Family Friendly with Play Area,” or “Bottomless Brunch.” This matches your venue to the specific intent of the customer, increasing conversion rates.
A hungry user has zero patience. We audit your booking flow. We ensure your “Book a Table” button is sticky on mobile and links directly to a seamless reservation system (OpenTable/ResDiary). We remove the friction, ensuring that a Google search turns into a confirmed cover in under 30 seconds.
We offer a free, no-obligation SEO audit for your website. This includes a review of your keyword rankings, content quality, on-page and off-page SEO, backlinks, and technical issues. You’ll receive a detailed report along with a recommended SEO strategy.

Take the first step to better search rankings, increased traffic and more business.
Studio 36 Digital provides specialist SEO across many industries. Explore our full range of sector expertise.
Social media is fantastic for brand awareness, but it captures people when they are browsing. SEO captures people when they are hungry. When a potential customer searches for “best Italian restaurant near me” or “Sunday roast in [Town],” they have high commercial intent—they are ready to book a table right now. SEO ensures your restaurant is the first one they see at that critical decision-making moment.
Yes. Third-party apps charge high commissions (often per cover or a % of the order). Our strategy focuses on driving traffic directly to your website and your booking engine. By ranking #1 for your brand name and local food terms, we encourage customers to book direct rather than going through an aggregator. This increases your profit margin per table.
For restaurants, Local SEO is everything. The vast majority of dining searches happen on mobile devices looking for immediate options nearby. We aggressively optimise your Google Business Profile to ensure you appear in the “Map Pack” (the top 3 map results). We manage your opening hours, attributes (e.g., “outdoor seating,” “dog friendly”), and photos to ensure you capture the passing trade and local search traffic.
Yes, it is a major SEO issue. Google cannot easily read text inside an image or PDF, and PDFs provide a poor user experience on mobile phones. We convert your menus into HTML text directly on your webpage. We also use “Menu Schema Markup”, special code that helps Google understand your dishes, prices, and dietary options (Vegan/GF). This allows Google to recommend your restaurant when someone searches for specific dishes like “best lasagna near me.”
While we cannot delete negative reviews on TripAdvisor or Yelp, we can dilute them. We implement strategies to encourage your happy diners to leave 5-star reviews on Google. Google reviews are the first thing a searcher sees in the Map Pack. A high rating and recent positive feedback are massive ranking factors that directly influence a diner’s choice.
Yes. We can tailor your content and local strategy to promote specific offers. We use Google Posts (updates on your map listing) to highlight “Mid-week Specials,” “Happy Hours,” or “Set Menus.” By targeting keywords related to “cheap eats” or “mid-week dining,” we help drive footfall during your shoulder periods, not just the busy weekends.
We track metrics that relate to covers. We monitor:
We provide a monthly report showing exactly how digital search is driving physical footfall.
No. The hospitality industry is fast-paced and margins can be tight. We operate on a 30-day rolling basis. We believe that by helping you fill your restaurant and reduce third-party commissions, we provide enough value to keep you as a long-term partner without locking you in.
