Helping Wildfire Restaurants Get Found When It Matters Most

The Challenge:
Famous, But Hard to Find Locally: Wildfire Restaurants already had a fantastic reputation, but they were missing out on a huge opportunity. When hungry people searched their phones for a place to eat nearby, Wildfire wasn't showing up. The problem wasn't that people didn't know the brand, it was that they couldn't find them locally in the moment they were ready to dine.

The Strategy:
Connecting with Hungry Locals: At Funnelpot, we know that just posting content online doesn't bring in customers. You need a plan. We built a strategy focused on making sure Wildfire showed up in local searches:
Speaking the Customer's Language: We updated their website to match exactly what locals were typing into Google when looking for a great meal.
Putting Them on the Map: We fine-tuned the behind-the-scenes details for every single restaurant location so search engines knew exactly where to send people.
Content with a Purpose: We created engaging blogs and videos designed to answer diners' questions, grab attention on social media, and draw people to the website.

The Execution:
Pulling It All Together: Instead of treating website updates and content creation as two different jobs, we combined them into one powerful system.
We wrote articles centered around the exact questions potential guests were already asking online and paired them with eye-catching videos. Everything we created had a dual purpose: to engage the viewer and to help the website rank higher. This created a snowball effect—every new video or post made it that much easier for locals to find Wildfire.

The Results:
From Well-Known to Unmissable Wildfire stopped relying just on their big name and started capturing diners right at the exact moment they were deciding where to eat. The partnership delivered:
A massive boost in visibility whenever locals searched for nearby dining.
Top search spots secured for multiple restaurant locations.
A steady stream of new customers who discovered them organically online.
Broader brand awareness that reached way beyond their usual crowd.
