Catering Companies
You are paying for Google Ads clicks. Your competitors are getting the calls.
You are spending $2,000 to $4,000 per month on Google Ads to get catering leads. But when someone clicks your ad, the first thing they do is check your Google Business Profile. If they see 8 reviews, no recent photos, and a description that says 'full-service catering company,' they bounce. You paid for the click and got nothing because your profile did not close the deal.
What We Do About It
- We audit your Google profile alongside your ad spend to show you exactly how many paid clicks are lost because your profile does not convert
- We rebuild your profile so it works as a landing experience: updated photos of recent events, a description that speaks to wedding and corporate clients, and enough reviews to build instant trust
- We grow your organic Maps visibility so you start getting free inquiries from the same searches you are currently paying for
- We track the shift from paid to organic inquiries so you can see your cost per lead drop month over month
Catering companies spending $3,000 or more per month on Google Ads typically see a 30 to 50% reduction in cost per lead within 90 days of profile optimization, because the same ad clicks convert at a higher rate and organic visibility replaces some of the paid volume.
The average job for a catering company is worth $1,500 to $30,000. Every month you wait is another month of leads going to the catering companies that show up first. A free visibility audit shows you exactly where you stand and what it would take to fix it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should we stop running Google Ads entirely?
Not right away. Ads still bring in leads while your organic visibility grows. But once your Maps presence is strong, you will likely be able to reduce ad spend significantly and still maintain or increase your inquiry volume. Most catering clients cut their ad budget by 30 to 50% within 6 months without losing lead flow.
How do you know our ads are being wasted?
We look at the gap between your ad clicks and your actual inquiries. If you are paying for 200 clicks a month but only getting 10 calls, something is killing the conversion. Nine times out of ten, it is the Google profile. People click the ad, see a thin profile with few reviews, and go to the next caterer. We fix the profile so those clicks turn into calls.
What is the actual dollar impact for a catering company?
If you are spending $3,000 per month on ads and your cost per lead is $150, you are getting 20 leads. If profile optimization doubles your conversion rate, you get 40 leads for the same spend, or you get the same 20 leads for $1,500. Over a year, that is $18,000 saved or reinvested. Add organic leads on top and the math gets even better.
