The problem
What is costing you enquiries.
Common reasons a caterer site loses enquiries. Some of them will not apply to you; the free audit says which do.
- There are no per-head prices or starting prices, so every enquiry begins with a call to find out whether you are affordable.
- Delivery areas, minimum orders and the notice needed are not stated, so buyers do not know if you can help until they ask.
- Office lunches, family buffets and funeral catering share one page, so each buyer has to dig for what applies to them.
- Menus are PDFs or photos, which are slow on a phone and cannot be read by search engines.
- Dietary and allergen options are not shown, so the person ordering for a room of people cannot check on behalf of others.
What is included
One rebuild, everything in it.
Separate pages for office catering, event buffets and funeral catering, each with the menus and details that buyer needs.
Menus with per-head prices or starting prices, dietary markings and minimum numbers, written as text you can update.
An order or quote form that asks for date, time, numbers, delivery address and dietary needs.
A page setting out delivery areas, charges and the notice needed for each type of order.
Your Google Business Profile set up as a service-area business with the right categories.
Tracking on the order form and phone number, so you can see which pages the enquiries came from.
Getting found in Stoke-on-Trent
Local search, done properly.
Stoke-on-Trent is a Staffordshire city famous for its pottery industry, with a population of 260,000.
In a large town, a caterer delivers across a wide area and into neighbouring towns, competing with other independents, farm shops and supermarket platters. The site needs to be clear about radius, delivery charges and minimum orders, and it should separate office lunches, buffets for family events and funeral teas, because each buyer reads for different reasons. A business park nearby can be steady work if the site makes regular ordering simple.
Stoke-on-Trent is large enough that the first page for caterer searches is genuinely contested, and directories take several of the slots. Ranking above a directory is easier than ranking above a competitor, because a directory cannot say anything specific about the work. Firms in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford show up in the same results, because Google's idea of "near me" does not stop at the city boundary.
Stoke-on-Trent is known for its ceramics heritage, oatcake, and industrial regeneration. That shapes who is searching, what they expect to pay and how far they will travel, so a site for caterers here should read like it belongs in Staffordshire, not like a template with the town name swapped in.
What it costs
£1,495, one-off.

Questions
The ones that come up.
How do we show delivery areas when we do not have a shop?
A delivery page lists the towns and areas you cover, any charges and minimum orders, and your Google Business Profile is set up as a service-area business rather than showing a kitchen address. That way buyers see straight away whether you reach them, and you are not sent enquiries from places you cannot serve without a large delivery charge.
What should a catering enquiry form ask?
Enough to quote without a follow-up call: the date and time, the delivery address or venue, the number of people, the type of food wanted, dietary needs and any budget. It should still be short enough to finish on a phone. Asking for the right details up front means your reply can include a price rather than a list of questions.
Do we need professional food photography?
It helps, but it does not need to be elaborate. Clear photos of real platters and buffets as they are delivered, taken in daylight, show buyers what arrives. Pictures of food laid out at a real event are more useful than close-ups of single canapés. Photos are compressed so the pages still load quickly on a phone.
Is it worth showing which businesses we cater for?
If those clients are happy for you to name them, yes, because an office manager is reassured to see other local employers use you. Always ask first. Where clients prefer not to be named, a line such as law firms, schools and sports clubs, with a short quote from each, gives the same reassurance without breaking confidence.
