About the Client
Bhandary’s Kitchen, based in Bangalore, India, specializes in catering services for weddings, corporate parties, house parties, and birthday celebrations. When they approached us, their website was new, lacked optimized content, and faced significant challenges in generating organic leads and conversions. The primary objectives were to:

Improve conversion rates.
Boost lead generation
Challenges
- A new website with minimal content and no prior SEO strategy.
- Technical and on-page SEO issues, including the absence of a sitemap and slow loading speeds.
- Poor conversion optimization with limited calls-to-action (CTAs) and inadequate contact options.
- No analytical tools in place to monitor performance or identify areas of improvement.
SEO Strategy
We implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy to address these challenges, focusing on:
Technical and On-Page SEO
Technical and on-page SEO formed the foundation of our efforts. We:
- Updated and optimized meta details: Proper meta titles, descriptions, and header tags were implemented across the site to improve click-through rates and search visibility.
- Enhanced website speed: By optimizing images, leveraging caching, and minimizing code, we reduced load times, leading to a better user experience and improved search rankings.
- Implemented a sitemap: This ensured search engines could efficiently crawl and index the website, improving discoverability.
- Added CTAs strategically: Clear and prominent CTAs, such as “Request a Quote” and “Contact Us on WhatsApp,” were placed throughout the site to encourage user engagement and conversions.
These changes made the website more user-friendly, ensuring visitors stayed longer and were more likely to take desired actions, such as submitting inquiries or contacting the business.
Content Optimization
Content is a critical driver of organic traffic, so we:
- Revamped existing content: Service pages were rewritten to emphasize the unique value Bhandary’s Kitchen offers, focusing on keywords relevant to the Bangalore market.
- Introduced a blog section: We published four high-quality articles per month targeting frequently searched queries, such as “best wedding caterers in Bangalore” or “how to choose a catering service.”
These efforts not only attracted more users but also established the website as a trusted resource, leading to higher rankings and increased engagement.
User Behavior Analysis
We used tools like Hotjar and Microsoft Clarity to analyze how users interacted with the website. Insights from these tools led to:
- Simplified navigation, reducing drop-offs on key pages.
- Enhanced mobile usability, ensuring a seamless experience across devices.
These local SEO strategies made it easier for potential customers in Bangalore to discover and connect with Bhandary’s Kitchen.

Given the location-specific nature of the business, we prioritized local SEO by:
Optimizing Google My Business (GMB): This included accurate contact information, service details, and regular updates with photos and posts.
Encouraging customer reviews: Positive reviews on GMB helped build trust and visibility in local searches.
Creating location-specific content: Service pages and blog posts were tailored to target users searching for caterers in Bangalore.
These local SEO strategies made it easier for potential customers in Bangalore to discover and connect with Bhandary’s Kitchen.
Keyword Research and Link Building
Keyword research identified high-value, location-specific terms that potential customers were searching for. We:
Targeted keywords like “wedding catering in Bangalore,” “corporate catering services,” and “birthday party caterers near me.”
Built 10 high-quality backlinks per month through methods such as social bookmarking, guest posting, and Web 2.0 properties.
