Problem

The restaurant needed a polished Leawood digital first impression that matched the dining experience, made reservations easier to find, and gave local searchers more confidence before choosing a table.

Solution

We built a visual restaurant site with direct navigation, stronger food and location cues, Leawood context, and clearer reservation paths.

Result

After launch, reservation link clicks increased by 27, mobile reservation conversion rose from 2.7% to 11.2%, calls and direction clicks increased by 21%, and Leawood organic impressions increased by 34,478 year over year. Owner Christian Joseph and head chef and partner Bryant Wigger also reported increased revenue, leads and reservations, and average revenue per cover.

Year over year

Without Hometown Marketing Agency helping us with our website we would not have been able to support our team, customers, and Leawood with the same quality and excellence that we aspire to.
