Not all website traffic is equal. Direct leads come from people actively searching for your business — high intent, ready to buy. Generic leads find you by accident — they need more convincing before they'll reach out.

Once the basics are fixed, these are the moves that will help you stand out — not just show up.
Embedding your Google Reviews builds instant trust. Businesses with visible reviews convert 3× better than those without.
A simple booking link or online menu reduces friction for new customers and gives you a way to capture reservations 24/7 without answering the phone.
3 posts per week on Facebook and Instagram — showing your food, your team, and your story. Consistency builds the kind of trust that turns browsers into regulars.
An optimised Google Business Profile puts you in the local map results — which is where most "café near me" searches end up clicking.
These are suggestions — small changes that can make a noticeable difference fast. Where you start is up to you.
Every visitor should know immediately what to do next — call, book, visit, or order. One clear button above the fold changes everything.
A 4-second load time is costing you customers before they've even seen your menu. Image compression alone can cut your load time in half.
A page that hasn't posted in 3 months looks closed. 2–3 posts per week on Facebook and Instagram is enough to stay visible and build trust.
