Do I need an SEO company or can I do it myself?
If you run a restaurant or food business, a website and SEO audit shows you what you can fix yourself and what needs a pro.
You know your restaurant site needs work. You have more time than budget right now. But you have no idea if do-it-yourself SEO is realistic or just a way to waste weekends.
Many restaurant owners try DIY SEO and hit a wall. Google ignores pages with thin menu text. Duplicate listings from delivery apps confuse search results. Your hours, address, or phone number might be wrong on 20 different sites. These problems are invisible if you do not know where to look.
A full audit takes about 8 to 15 hours of reading page by page. If you do it yourself, the cost is your time plus some tools. Hiring someone runs between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars. The scope depends on how many pages you have and how many competitors you track.
This week, do not guess. Get a one-time audit that reads every page of your site and your top competitors. Scott Gerke finds what is broken, what Google ignores, and what is costing you diners. You get clear findings, not a jargon report.
Once the audit is done, you will have a list. Some fixes you can knock out on a Sunday. Others you will hand off. You will stop wondering and start knowing what moves the needle.
What our customers say
"Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could’ve expected. He didn’t just teach our team to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team. The real difference for us has been Scott. We are going to keep working with him long-term."
"Working with Scott has been amazing! His ability to ingest information, understand it, and then help you understand it is second to none. His work ethic is unlike any I've seen. Scott's forward-thinking mindset is incredibly refreshing and helpful. If you want your website to be found more easily, do yourself a favor and talk to Scott and his team. But don't stop there. Scott has a wealth of knowledge that can help you in so many ways."
"Scott and team just finished a deep dive on our website and it was eye-opening. They found and implemented several key fixes, and actually explained them so we could understand. We've already hired them for another project."
Other things people with a Restaurants & Food ask
why is my website not showing up on google
Usually one of a few findable causes: pages blocked from indexing, no pages targeting what people search, or a site structure Google gave up on. An audit pinpoints which one within a day, with proof.
my website gets traffic but no leads
A website audit finds the gaps: unclear calls to action, slow pages, broken forms, or content that doesn't match what people search. Fix those before you spend more on ads.
