How the work was framed

Start with the problem.Build the system around it.

The work was approached as a connected business problem—not as an isolated campaign, channel or platform metric.

01Challenge

What needed to change.

Restaurant clients needed stronger local-search visibility and measurable customer acquisition across both organic and paid search.

02Approach
