The challenge

Cafe marketing in Hobart happens on a phone

Cafe marketing in Hobart now mostly happens in a few seconds on a phone. Someone searches for brunch, coffee or dinner nearby, looks at three places on the map and picks one based on photos, hours and reviews.

If your listing is missing photos, shows the wrong hours or has unanswered reviews, you lose that customer before they ever see your menu.

Questions

Restaurant SEO questions

Is a Google listing more important than our website?

For most cafes and restaurants it's the first thing people see, so it's where we start. A good website still helps the listing rank and gives people your full menu.

Should our menu be a PDF?

Ideally not. A menu on a normal web page is easier to read on a phone and easier for Google to understand. We can keep a PDF as well for printing.

How do we get more reviews?

Ask at the right moment, make it easy with a short link or QR code, and reply to every review. We'll set up a simple routine that suits your service.

We already post on Instagram. Isn't that enough?

Social media is great for regulars, but people searching on Google for somewhere to eat rarely see it. The listing and website catch those searches.

Can you help with function and event bookings?

Yes. Pages for private dining and functions often attract high-value enquiries, and we can write and rank them.
