Eat Bar & Patio HaraHeri is a refined Japanese dining destination celebrated for its izakaya-style cuisine and vibrant patio experience. While guest interest was high, its online ecosystem did not mirror how modern diners discover, evaluate, and select restaurants through search and social channels. Make My Brand deployed a Growth-as-a-Service strategy that integrated local SEO, on-page experience, and social branding into a unified digital demand engine.
What was the main challenge in this project?
Despite a compelling on-ground dining experience, Haraheri’s digital ecosystem lacked the structure needed to capture and convert search demand:
Inconsistent visibility for high-intent local dining and cuisine-based searches.
No clear keyword-to-page mapping across menus, experiences, and location pages.
Limited tracking of user behavior and engagement across key dining actions.
Weak local SEO signals and missing structured data implementation.
Instagram presence lacked consistency, discovery focus, and brand storytelling.
Without a connected strategy, Haraheri was unable to effectively convert online discovery into reservations and in-restaurant visits.
What was your solution or approach?
Make My Brand deployed a focused Growth-as-a-Service SEO and Social pod, aligning website performance, search visibility, and social discovery into a unified system:
SEO & Tracking Foundation: Established GA4 and Search Console tracking to measure user behavior across key pages including menus, location, and dining experiences.
Search-Driven Content Optimization: Refined page structures, metadata, and headings to improve rankings and click-through rates for high-intent queries.
Local Intent Mapping: Connected keywords related to patio dining, Japanese cuisine, and izakaya culture to relevant landing pages.
On-Site Engagement Optimization: Improved navigation, internal linking, and CTAs to guide users toward menu exploration and visit intent.
Instagram as a Discovery Channel: Built a consistent visual and content strategy to support search visibility and enhance brand recall.
What was the outcome or impact for the client?
The integrated approach delivered strong gains across visibility, traffic, and engagement:
37,000+ users acquired through organic and direct channels.
93,600+ search impressions generated across high-intent queries.
10,500+ clicks driven from organic search.
51,483 total sessions recorded across the site.
20,677 users acquired via organic search as the primary channel.
60%+ engagement rate, indicating deeper interaction with menus and dining content.
By aligning search intent, local visibility, user experience, and social storytelling, MMB helped Haraheri build a stronger digital discovery system - turning online interest into meaningful engagement and supporting consistent footfall growth.
