Example Scenario Restaurant & Hospitality 01

How a restaurant website can generate significantly more bookings

From invisible online to fully booked on weekends

The situation

A mid-range restaurant in a Swiss city has been operating for several years. The food quality is excellent and word-of-mouth is strong. However, their website was built years ago — it's slow on mobile, has no clear booking option, and doesn't appear in Google Maps or local search results. Most customers find them by accident or recommendation. Weekday tables are often empty.

Key problems identified

  • Website takes 7+ seconds to load on mobile
  • No online booking — customers must call during busy service hours
  • Not ranking for "restaurant [city name]" on Google
  • Google Business Profile incomplete — no photos, wrong hours
  • Menu only available as a low-quality PDF scan

The strategy

A complete redesign focused on mobile speed, visual impact, and friction-free bookings. Combined with local SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation to capture customers already searching nearby.

Design & technical approach

  • Mobile-first redesign — target load time under 2 seconds
  • Visual hierarchy built around the food and atmosphere
  • Prominent "Book a Table" CTA visible on every page
  • Structured HTML menu replacing the unreadable PDF
  • Google Maps integration and structured opening hours
  • Schema.org Restaurant markup for AI and search visibility
  • High-quality food photography placeholder sections

Marketing approach

  • Google Business Profile fully optimised with photos, menu, and posts
  • Local SEO targeting: "restaurant [city]", "best dinner [city]", "lunch near me"
  • Review strategy: prompting happy guests via follow-up card
  • Social media content plan: weekly food and atmosphere posts
  • Google Ads campaign for peak booking periods (weekday lunch push)

Metrics to track

  • Google Maps views and direction requests per week
  • Click-to-book rate from website
  • Organic search impressions for local restaurant terms
  • Google review count and average rating
  • Mobile page load speed (Core Web Vitals)
  • Table booking conversion rate (visits → reservations)

Example Scenario Local Service Business 02

How a local Swiss service business can double inbound calls

From relying on referrals to generating consistent local leads

The situation

A Swiss trade business (plumber, electrician, or similar) has built a solid reputation through word-of-mouth. Work is steady, but growth is limited by referral volume. They have a basic website — just a logo, a phone number, and a contact form — built ten years ago. It's not mobile-friendly, doesn't appear on Google, and there's no Google Business Profile. New customer growth has plateaued.

Key problems identified

  • Website not appearing for "[trade] [city]" Google searches
  • No Google Business Profile — competitors taking all the local calls
  • Zero customer reviews online — no trust signals for new visitors
  • Website not mobile-friendly — fails on smartphones
  • No clear service area described on the site
  • No urgency-based content for emergency call-out searches

The strategy

Build a professional, fast, mobile-first website with clear service descriptions and a prominent call-to-action. Combine with aggressive local SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation to capture high-intent local searches.

Design & technical approach

  • Clean, professional design that signals reliability and trust
  • Phone number prominent in header on every page — tap to call on mobile
  • Service pages: one page per core service, targeting local keywords
  • Service area map and list of towns covered
  • Emergency/same-day service highlighted for urgent search intent
  • Before/after or job gallery section (photos from real work)
  • Simple contact form with fast-response promise

Marketing approach

  • Google Business Profile: fully verified, with services, photos, and FAQ
  • Local SEO: service + location page strategy for all service areas
  • Review generation: follow-up message to every completed job
  • Google Ads: emergency and non-emergency keyword campaigns
  • Swiss directory listings: local.ch, search.ch, and industry directories

Metrics to track

  • Number of inbound calls per week (track via call tracking)
  • Google Business Profile calls and direction requests
  • Google ranking for "[trade] [city]" keywords
  • Contact form submission volume
  • Google review count and rating progression
  • Cost per lead from Google Ads

Example Scenario E-commerce 03

How better e-commerce design can reduce cart abandonment and increase orders

From a functional shop to a high-converting sales machine

The situation

A Swiss online shop sells quality products and receives a reasonable amount of traffic through social media and some organic search. However, the checkout completion rate is low — many customers add products to cart but don't complete the purchase. The shop was built with a generic template, loads slowly on mobile, and the product pages don't clearly communicate value or build enough trust to convert.

Key problems identified

  • Mobile page load time above 5 seconds — losing impatient shoppers
  • Generic template design — no brand identity or premium feel
  • Product descriptions don't address buyer hesitations
  • No trust signals: no reviews, no secure payment badges, no return policy visible
  • Checkout flow has too many steps and friction points
  • Poor product photography presentation on mobile
  • No abandoned cart recovery strategy

The strategy

Redesign the product and checkout experience for mobile-first conversion. Add trust signals at every decision point. Improve product pages to answer buyer questions before they arise. Reduce friction in the checkout flow.

Design & technical approach

  • Mobile-first product page redesign with image zoom and swipe gallery
  • Above-fold: product name, price, key benefit, and buy button — no scrolling required
  • Trust bar: secure payment icons, return policy, delivery time — visible on product page
  • Customer review integration directly on product page
  • Streamlined checkout: 2-step maximum, guest checkout option
  • Speed optimisation: image compression, lazy loading, minimal scripts
  • Product SEO: keyword-rich titles, meta descriptions, and schema markup

Marketing approach

  • Abandoned cart email sequence (if platform supports it)
  • Short-form video product showcase strategy
  • Google Shopping campaigns for product visibility
  • Retargeting ads for product page visitors who didn't purchase
  • Post-purchase review request email (automated)
  • Seasonal promotion landing pages

Metrics to track

  • Cart-to-checkout conversion rate (baseline vs. after)
  • Checkout-to-purchase completion rate
  • Mobile bounce rate on product pages
  • Average order value
  • Return customer rate
  • Page load speed (Core Web Vitals — LCP, CLS, FID)
  • Revenue per session
Potential business impact
+25–45%
Increase in checkout completion rate
-60%
Reduction in mobile page load time
+30%
More orders from the same traffic volume
+20%
Average order value lift from better product presentation

Illustrative figures. Actual improvement depends on current baseline, product category, and traffic quality.

Key takeaway

"Most e-commerce shops lose the majority of their revenue to cart abandonment and a poor mobile experience. Fixing these doesn't require more traffic — it requires better conversion on existing traffic."
