SEO for catering businesses delivered by experts
Every caterer wants a big bite of the Google traffic; in such a sought-after market, it doesn’t matter if you’re a corporate caterer or a mobile food van, you’re up against some top competition. SEO can change the game for catering services, getting them seen above these competitors; we’re excited to show you how.
We understand that every caterer is different, so a one-size-fits-all SEO strategy won’t work. SEO for street food vendors will be a whole different kettle of fish to events catering, for example.
Capitalising on local traffic can be achieved through targeted keywords, going beyond ‘caterers in Brighton’, for example, and drilling down into the more niche. Say you primarily cater to events and weddings, or specialise in fine dining, pizza, or Mexican cuisine; those are searchable key terms.
What we’re saying is that local users are searching for all the things that make your business unique–427 can ensure you appear in these searches.

Why is SEO important for caterers?
Boosts local search visibility
Your catering business will likely operate within a certain geographical area, making driving local traffic a key part of your SEO strategy. Optimising your Google Business Profile, getting your site on directories, and leveraging those all-important local keywords can drive local traffic through the door.
Beats the competition
Whether you’re looking to be the best street food vendor around, or the top wedding caterer in your area, being seen early on in the research phase of a user journey can get you more enquiries. It’s common knowledge in the SEO world that users rarely look past the third position on the Google results page; does your business appear here alongside the competition for the terms relevant to you?
Builds brand awareness
The more you’re seen in the results pages, the more eyes you’ll get on your brand name; suddenly you’re synonymous with popular, quality catering.

Frequently Asked SEO Questions
Keywords like ‘food van near me’ or ‘wedding catering in [town]’ are obviously going to be high on your list to rank for, and we absolutely have the strategies to target them. Consider it done!
We’ll target keywords that have transactional search intent – that means that the people that use them are doing so because they’re ready to commit to a catering company. That’s not to say we’ll ignore keywords with other search intent, such as informational (the search answers a question) or commercial (comparing products or services before making a purchase). It just means we know where to use each type on your site.
Absolutely not. The dialogue is kept open so conversation can flow without worrying about racking up a bill. We only charge for the pre-agreed amount of work that we carry out.
We keep a close eye on your website’s performance using analytics; that’s how we know what difference our SEO is making, and what we maybe need to change. These stats will be shared with you in a monthly report. This will let you know what we’ve been up to, and what data is driving our plan for the months to come.
