Case study — Restaurant Group

Wildspice Group: the build that paid for itself.

Wildspice Group came to us as restaurant group operators in Manchester, UK with a problem that was costing them weekly. The program below is what moved their headline number: 3 of 5 venues in map-pack #1.

The challenge

Organic had plateaued at exactly the level of 'we publish sometimes': rankings on page two for everything valuable, traffic flat for six quarters, and paid spend quietly compensating.

Previous agency reports were voluminous and unpersuaded: rankings screenshots, no causation, and a content calendar answering questions nobody was searching.

The approach

We rebuilt the program bottom-funnel first: mapped every money query to a deliberate page, fixed the crawl and canonical layer, then built topic clusters outward from commercial intent.

Content shipped as assets, not posts: refresh of decaying winners, comparison and alternative pages for every competitor, and data pieces pitched for links rather than prayed for.

Local and bottom-funnel came first because they pay first; authority content followed on a fixed cadence tied to a refresh queue, not to 'post weekly' folklore.

  • Technical audit with a prioritized fix plan, tracked to done
  • Bottom-funnel keyword-to-page architecture
  • Refresh protocol for decaying but winning pages
  • Local SEO program: profiles, reviews, location pages
