What we do for catering businesses

Local and event-specific search

Someone searching for "wedding caterer Surrey" and someone searching for "corporate lunch catering Farnborough" are looking for completely different things, even though they might both end up booking you. We build and optimise the pages that answer each search directly, so you show up whether the enquiry is a 120-guest wedding breakfast or a weekly office lunch order.

Google Business Profile and Maps

Most couples and event organisers check your Google listing before they check your website. We keep it accurate, populated with real event photos, and structured to answer the questions people actually have (minimum numbers, dietary handling, areas covered) before they've even messaged you.

Google Ads for peak booking windows

Wedding bookings peak at specific times of year (January engagement season, post-Christmas planning). Corporate catering enquiries spike around Christmas party season and new financial years. We time campaigns around those windows instead of running the same generic ads all year round.

Review generation

The gap between a couple who had a brilliant day and a couple who left you a review is usually just that nobody asked at the right moment. We build a simple, non-awkward process for capturing reviews after the event, while the food and the day are still fresh in their mind.

Website and menu page SEO

A menu buried in a PDF doesn't get found. We build out proper service and menu pages, structured for search, so Google (and the person reading it) can actually understand what you offer and who it's for.

Real availability, not guesswork

We report on enquiries and bookings, not vague engagement metrics, so you always know exactly what your marketing spend is actually producing.

Built around your calendar, not against it

Wedding season and party season aren't the same thing, and neither are corporate contracts and one-off events. We plan campaigns around your actual booking cycle, not a generic yearly schedule.

No long-term contracts

If the work isn't generating enquiries, you're not locked into paying for it regardless. We earn the right to keep working with you every month.

What this actually does for your booking calendar

The honest answer is that this fills two different gaps at once, because caterers have two different problems that look like one problem.

The first is seasonal. If your business leans heavily on weddings, your calendar is probably locked from May to September and close to empty from November through to March. Corporate catering, private dining, and smaller celebration events (christenings, milestone birthdays, retirement parties) run on a completely different calendar, and building visibility for those searches gives you a second income stream that fills the months weddings can't reach.

The second is scope. Right now, a lot of your enquiries probably come through people who already know you, which means you rarely get the chance to choose the type of client or event you actually want. Building visibility for specific, high-value searches (fine dining wedding breakfast, plant-based canapés, HMRC-compliant corporate lunch supplier) means the enquiries that land in your inbox are already closer to a fit, rather than a guest number and budget that never work.

None of this replaces your existing reputation or your relationships with venues. It sits alongside them, catching the enquiries that would otherwise never find you, from people who have never heard your name but are about to book someone.

Frequently asked questions

Most of our weddings come through venue recommendations already. Do we need this?

Venue recommendations are valuable, but they only reach couples who have already booked that specific venue and asked the coordinator for a supplier list. Every couple researching venues before they've booked, every couple whose venue doesn't offer a supplier list, and every corporate or private client is invisible to that channel entirely. This reaches the people your venue relationships never will.

We have a big Instagram following but it rarely turns into actual bookings. Why?

Instagram is brilliant for showing off your food once someone already knows you exist, but it's a poor discovery tool for someone actively planning an event and searching with intent. Search is where people go when they've decided to book a caterer, not when they're scrolling. We focus on catching people at that decision point.

Can you help us get onto preferred supplier lists at venues?

That's a relationship-building process between you and venue coordinators, and it's not something we do directly. What we can do is make sure that when a coordinator or a couple does search for you by name, or searches for caterers who work at that venue, what they find backs up the recommendation.

We're fully booked on Saturdays from May to September. What's the point of marketing then?

The point is everything outside those Saturdays. Corporate catering, weekday private dining, winter events, and off-peak weddings (Fridays and Sundays are far easier to fill than Saturdays) are all searches happening year-round that your current booking pattern isn't capturing.

How do you get reviews after a wedding, when the couple is exhausted and moving on with life?

Timing and simplicity. We build a process that asks at the moment the event feels most vivid, usually a few days after, with a link that takes seconds to use. Most couples are genuinely happy to leave one; they just need to be asked at the right moment in the right way.

Can you help us build up corporate catering, not just weddings?

Yes, and for a lot of catering businesses this is the biggest untapped opportunity, since it evens out the seasonal feast and famine that weddings create. Office managers and event organisers search very differently to couples, and we build the pages and campaigns specifically for that audience.

We don't have professional photography of our food. Does that matter?

It matters, because catering is such a visual sale. We'll tell you honestly if this is holding you back, and can point you toward what's needed, but we won't build a page around stock imagery that doesn't represent your actual food.

Do you handle allergen and dietary information on the website properly?

We make sure allergen and dietary information is clearly presented and easy to find, which matters both for compliance and because it's one of the first things a nervous host or event organiser checks before enquiring. The specific legal wording and compliance sign-off remains with you.

Is this different from just listing on platforms like Add to Event or Poptop?

Those platforms put you in a directory alongside every competitor bidding for the same enquiry, often on price. This builds your own visibility, so people find you directly rather than comparing you in a list where the caterer with the lowest quote usually wins the click.

How long before we start seeing enquiries?

Google Ads can start producing enquiries within the first couple of weeks. SEO and Google Business Profile work build over two to four months, which lines up well with the typical booking lead time for weddings and larger events, meaning the timing tends to work in your favour rather than against it.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. We work month to month. If the enquiries aren't coming through, you're free to walk away.

What's included in reporting, and will it actually tell me anything useful?

You'll see enquiries and bookings, not clicks or impressions dressed up to look impressive. If a report can't tell you whether it made you money, we don't think it's worth sending.
