THE BRIEF

What Chutney Mary's needed

Chutney Mary's needed a digital presence built essentially from scratch — a new site with proper technical SEO, visibility in Google search and the AI answer engines now sitting in front of it, a delivery menu that actually converts on Uber Eats, a Google Business Profile worth finding, and a social and video presence consistent enough to carry the brand across every channel a diner might discover it on.

THE APPROACH

The tasting menu

Every engagement is built course by course — foundation first, discovery second, then the work that compounds. Here's how Chutney Mary's was served.

01 FOUNDATION

Domain, hosting & technical SEO

Stood up the domain and hosting, then rebuilt the on-page fundamentals across every page — H1 hierarchy, meta titles and descriptions, alt tags on every image, LocalBusiness/Restaurant schema markup, and an internal linking structure connecting menu, blog and location pages.

02 DISCOVERY

Keyword research & competitor gap analysis

Mapped the local and category keyword landscape for Indian dining and delivery on the Gold Coast, then ran a competitor gap analysis to find the search terms and content angles nearby restaurants were leaving on the table.

03 CONTENT & BACKLINKS

Blog content and backlink building — for search and AI

Built a blog publishing cadence paired with a backlink acquisition campaign, with a dual target from day one: rank in traditional Google search and get cited by the AI answer engines diners are now using instead of it. Indexing speed was tracked and prioritised on every page.

04 DELIVERY & LOCAL

Uber Eats storefront and Google Business Profile

Rebuilt the Uber Eats menu into clear categories — Starters, Non-Veg, Vegan, Main Course, Dinner, Evening Snacks — with fresh product imagery, descriptions and delivery-platform ad campaigns. In parallel, the Google Business Profile was refreshed with a full description, updated details and the blog URL, tied back into the wider SEO push.

05 SOCIAL & VIDEO

Content production across social and video

Ongoing production of carousels, stories, static ads and web banner imagery, alongside a full video slate — food-making content, interviews, interior and ambience footage, testimonials and brand introduction videos — to carry the brand consistently across every platform.

06 ONGOING

Diversification for reach and AI visibility

The current phase: widening the channel mix to build broader audience visibility, stronger promotional coverage, and a deeper footprint inside AI-driven search — an active, ongoing part of the engagement rather than a finished step.
