Online Marketing Consulting for a Seafood Restaurant
CLIENT OVERVIEW
A seafood restaurant, located in Carrollton, specializes in Korean-style fresh sashimi, sushi, and steamed crabs dishes. The menu features a variety of offerings, including live fish prepared into fresh sashimi, grilled dishes, meals, and drinks. While the restaurant is still working to build their reputation on platforms like Google and Yelp, and their review count is currently modest, they are dedicated to maintaining the highest quality and flavor in their offerings.
The ultimate goal of their efforts to enhance their online presence is to gain widespread recognition, attract more customers, and provide them with fresh and delicious Korean-style sashimi and meals.

RECOMMENDATIONS
- Website Optimization: The website is the most basic and essential tool for promotion and sales. More restaurant information needs to be shared with customers. It should visually appeal by posting vibrant photos and videos. Content and images expressing the ambiance are also crucial. Since customers primarily look at the menu, all menu information should be easily accessible. Additionally, online ordering should be user-friendly without requiring membership registration. Post a blog or news page that links to Google/Yelp and update it regularly. Apply SEO strategies to increase search engine visibility and create social media pages as well.
- Google/Yelp Management: It’s essential to claim business listings on Google and Yelp and ensure all information is accurate and up-to-date. Actively engage with reviews to enhance your relationship with both current and potential customers, bolster your brand reputation, and secure a prominent position on search engines and maps. Focus on accumulating positive ratings and reviews. Add online ordering links, update the menu, and regularly post business updates to enhance your online visibility.
- Social Media Marketing: Create and consistently post content on your main social media business pages. Initiate targeted campaigns to increase engagement among followers and attract more potential customers. Share promotions, coupons, new menu items, etc., encouraging repeat visits and urging customers to share with their friends in network.
- Email Marketing: Secure as much email and information as possible from existing and potential customers. Automate information collection when online orders are placed. Open email registration at the website and the restaurant. Regularly send new menu items, promotions, events, birthday wishes, blog updates, etc., to maintain relationships with customers and encourage repeat visits.
- Content Marketing: Build a blog page on the website and other websites and regularly post new information and promotions, integrating with Google/Yelp and social media for increased search engine visibility and brand awareness.
