How people choose a catering company.
Catering buyers fall into two camps. Office managers need lunch for 40 on Thursday and want to order fast, so they search, check the menu and minimums, and often reorder from whoever did it well last time. Couples and event hosts plan months out, compare several caterers, ask for tastings and want sample menus with per-person pricing. Both groups read reviews closely and judge you by photos of the whole spread, from the buffet line to the boxed lunches.

Four things every catering company site needs
Sample menus with starting prices
Per-person ranges or starting prices on the menu pages filter out mismatched leads and save you from quoting events that were never going to book.
An inquiry form built for quoting
Event date, guest count, venue, service style and budget, collected up front so your first reply can be a real proposal.
Separate paths for corporate and events
An office manager reordering lunch and a bride planning a reception need different pages, different photos and different next steps.
Photos of setups as well as plates
Buffet lines, staffed stations, boxed lunch spreads and your team in uniform show planners what the day will actually look like.

Primary category to start from: Caterer. Then the details below, kept current every month for $499 a month.
List each service style
Add services in the listing such as wedding catering, boxed lunches and staffed events, with short descriptions, so Google can match them to searches.
Set the service area honestly
If you deliver and do not host guests at your kitchen, a service-area setup with the towns you actually cover fits Google's rules and your quotes.
Ask the day after every event
Send a review request the morning after, while the host is still getting compliments. Reviews that name the kind of event help future planners picture theirs.
Example listing
How we would run your ads.
Each ad service is $499 a month. Your ad budget is paid straight to Google or Meta, never marked up, and you get a report every week.
Google Ads
Search ads for caterers should split into separate campaigns for corporate orders and for weddings and events, since the searches, the pages and the value of a lead all differ. Corporate ads run on weekdays during office hours. Event ads run all week and land on pages with sample menus. We exclude catering jobs, and party tray searches if those small orders are not your business.
Facebook and Instagram
Meta works for caterers mostly on the event side. We run video of setups and plated courses to people in your service area, promote tasting events, push holiday party booking early in the fall and retarget people who viewed your wedding menus. Corporate orders tend to come through Google search instead, so Meta spend stays on the events where photos do the selling.
Answer the questions before they call.
SEO & AI Search ($499 a month) publishes the answers your customers look for, so Google and AI assistants have a reason to send them to you. Articles we would write first:
- How Much Food to Order Per Person for a Party
- Buffet vs Plated vs Family Style for a Wedding
- What a Catering Tasting Includes and How to Book One
- Planning a Corporate Lunch Order for a Big Team
- What Full-Service Catering Staff Actually Handle
What people now ask AI assistants
- How far ahead should I book a caterer for a wedding?
- What is the difference between drop-off and full-service catering?
- Who does good corporate lunch catering near me for a team of 50?
Busy and slow seasons
Wedding season in spring and fall, graduations in May and June, and holiday parties from November into December are the peaks. January is quiet for events, which makes it the time to run ads for corporate lunch accounts and to book next year's weddings.
The mistake we see most
Caterers lose good leads by hiding all pricing and making every inquiry wait for a custom quote. Planners comparing several caterers reply to whoever gives them a sense of cost first. Food photos also go stale fast, so set a habit of shooting at real events.
Starter $1,499 or Growth $2,000 one time. Monthly services $499 each, or all four for $1,497 a month. 30-day terms.

Should we put prices on our website?
Starting prices or per-person ranges help more than they hurt. They filter out leads who would never book and give serious planners a reason to contact you first. Final quotes can stay custom. We build menu pages that show starting points without locking you into a number for every event.
Can you target corporate clients and weddings separately?
Yes. They get separate pages on the site, separate Google Ads campaigns and separate ad copy, so a search for office lunch catering lands on your corporate page and a wedding search lands on sample menus. Google Ads Management is $499 a month, with the ad budget paid to Google directly and never marked up.
Do catering marketplaces count as marketing?
Marketplaces can bring corporate orders, but you pay on each order and the customer relationship sits with the platform. Your own site, Google listing and reviews build a customer list that is yours. Plenty of caterers use both and move repeat accounts to direct ordering over time. We track where each inquiry comes from so you can compare.
How do you measure whether marketing is working for a caterer?
Every plan includes tracking: calls, inquiry forms and bookings show up on a live dashboard, and ad clients get a weekly report. You can see which pages and ads bring wedding inquiries and which bring corporate orders. You tell us which ones booked, and we shift budget toward what produced real events.
