[7 marks]SEO for a Local Restaurant Website Background: TasteBuds is a local restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine. While the restaurant has a loyal customer base, it struggles to attract new customers through its website. The restaurant's website contains the menu, photos of dishes, and basic contact information, but it doesn’t rank well on search engines when people search for Italian restaurants in the area. The restaurant's owner, Maria, decided to improve the website's SEO to increase visibility and attract more local diners. Challenge: Maria hired an SEO consultant to review the website. The consultant found several issues: The website was not optimized for local searches, as it lacked location-based keywords such as “best Italian restaurant in [city]” or “authentic Italian cuisine near me.” Additionally, the restaurant’s Google My Business (GMB) profile was not claimed or optimized, which meant it wasn’t appearing in local map searches. The website’s content was limited to the menu and basic info, without any additional content like blog posts or customer reviews, which could have helped build trust and improve SEO. Finally, the website’s load time was slow, which negatively impacted both user experience and rankings.
