Case Study: How We Helped The Local Caterer Go from Local Favorite to Booked Out Monthly

SEO & Analytics

The Project

When The Local Caterer first came to us, they were already doing great work in the kitchen—but their online presence didn’t reflect the quality of their food or service. Their old website was outdated, slow, and lacked mobile responsiveness. They weren’t showing up in local search results for “Mesa wedding catering” or “event caterers in Phoenix.”

What We Did:

  • 🔧 Custom Web Design (Wix, rebuilt for conversions)
  • 📷 New menu galleries + wedding/event photography
  • 🧭 SEO overhaul: keywords like wedding catering Mesa, corporate catering Phoenix, and local chef Arizona
  • 📱 Google Business + Meta updates
  • 📈 Monthly content strategy for seasonal promos & blog posts
  • 📣 Facebook + Instagram content calendar
  • 📊 Results tracking & ROI reporting

📈 Results within 90 days:

  • 200% increase in qualified leads
  • 4X more wedding inquiries
  • 5+ keywords ranked on Page 1 of Google
  • Became fully booked for the fall wedding season

F.A.Q.

How do I get more catering leads through my website?
To generate more leads, your website must be optimized for local search, mobile responsiveness, and fast performance. We implement SEO, local keywords (like wedding catering Mesa), and clear CTAs to increase conversions.
Can you design catering websites that include menus and galleries?
Absolutely. For The Local Caterer, we built a menu-driven website with rich photo galleries, dynamic FAQs, and a mobile-first layout—so customers can book events easily from any device.
Do catering businesses need SEO?
Yes—especially for competitive cities like Phoenix or Austin. Without SEO, your business won’t show up when people search for things like corporate catering near me or best wedding caterer in Pflugerville. We use long-tail keywords and blog strategies to dominate those results.
How long does it take to see results from a catering marketing strategy?
Typically, you'll start seeing results within 60–90 days—especially with Google Business optimization and SEO landing pages. The Local Caterer saw a 200% increase in traffic and leads in under 3 months.
Can Level Nine Media help with restaurant or event business marketing too?
Yes! We specialize in branding and marketing for food businesses—ghost kitchens, caterers, food trucks, meal prep services, and private chefs. We offer web design, SEO, content, ads, and automation to help you grow fast.
