Wangshi China Palace
Wangshi China Palace approached us on 11 June 2025 with a clear challenge: they wanted to strengthen their online presence, attract more local customers, and build brand credibility across their service areas. As a cleaning and waste-removal service provider, they understood the importance of being easily discoverable online, especially by customers searching for immediate, location-based solutions. Our role was to support their growth using a focused approach through GBP (Google Business Profile) Optimization and Social Media Management (SMM) & Web Development (Next, JS).
Wangshi China Palace is a premier Chinese restaurant that offers an exceptional dining experience, blending traditional Chinese flavors with a modern twist. Known for its top-tier customer service and high-quality ingredients, Wangshi China Palace has built a loyal customer base in its local area. Despite their strong presence in the restaurant industry, the client recognized the need to boost their digital footprint to attract new customers and engage better with existing ones. They approached us to enhance their online visibility, revamp their website, and improve their local search rankings.
Our Approach & Strategy:
To address these challenges, we developed a comprehensive digital marketing and web development strategy focusing on GBP optimization, social media marketing (SMM), and website development using Next.js. Our approach included the following key steps:
1. GBP Optimization:
Optimizing Wangshi China Palace’s GBP was the first step in enhancing their local search visibility. Our strategy included:
Profile Completeness: We ensured the restaurant’s GBP profile was fully updated with accurate business hours, location, contact details, and menu items. We also optimized the business description, including relevant keywords to ensure the restaurant appeared in local searches related to Chinese cuisine.
Service Listings & Menu Integration: We added detailed descriptions of their signature dishes, services, and price range, ensuring customers had all the information they needed to make a decision. We also integrated their menu to provide easy access for customers looking to explore their food options.
High-Quality Visuals: We uploaded high-resolution photos of the restaurant, its dishes, and happy customers enjoying their meals. These images showcased the ambiance and quality of the food, helping to create a visual connection with potential diners.
Customer Reviews & Interaction: We encouraged satisfied customers to leave reviews, as positive reviews are crucial for building trust and boosting local SEO rankings. We also made sure to respond to reviews promptly, fostering a positive relationship with both new and existing clients.
2. Social Media Marketing (SMM):
Social media is an essential tool for engaging with the community and attracting customers to restaurants. Our social media marketing strategy for Wangshi China Palace included:
Content Creation: We developed creative and engaging content for platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. This included mouth-watering food photography, behind-the-scenes content showcasing the restaurant’s kitchen and chefs, and customer testimonials.
Hashtag Strategy: To improve visibility, we implemented a targeted hashtag strategy to reach food lovers and restaurant-goers in the local area. Popular and location-specific hashtags such as #ChineseFood[CityName] and #WangshiChinaPalace helped increase discoverability.
Promotions & Special Offers: We ran seasonal campaigns and promoted special offers through social media ads and posts. These promotions were designed to increase reservations and foot traffic, especially during off-peak hours.
Engagement & Community Building: We encouraged engagement by running interactive campaigns like “Tag a Friend” and “Share Your Favorite Dish” contests, which boosted brand awareness and helped grow their social media following.
3. Web Development (Next.js):
Wangshi China Palace’s website needed a complete overhaul to match their premium brand image and provide an intuitive user experience. We used Next.js, a powerful React-based framework, for fast, optimized performance and seamless navigation. Our strategy included:
Modern & Responsive Design: We redesigned the website to be visually appealing, with a clean and modern aesthetic. The site was designed to be fully responsive, ensuring it provided an excellent user experience across all devices, including mobile phones and tablets.
Interactive Menu Integration: We integrated an interactive, easy-to-navigate menu that allowed users to browse dishes, view prices, and explore restaurant specials. This feature was designed to help customers decide what to order before visiting the restaurant or placing an online order.
SEO Optimization: We implemented on-page SEO techniques to ensure the website ranked well on search engines. This included optimizing meta tags, images, and URLs, as well as using relevant keywords throughout the site.
Reservation System: A streamlined reservation system was integrated into the website, allowing customers to easily book a table online. This feature improved customer convenience and helped the restaurant manage bookings efficiently.
Fast Load Time & Performance: Using Next.js allowed us to optimize the website for speed, ensuring it loaded quickly for all users. We also implemented various performance optimizations, such as image compression and lazy loading, to enhance user experience.
4. Analytics & Reporting:
To measure the effectiveness of our strategies and optimize our efforts, we set up tracking and reporting systems:
Google Analytics Integration: We integrated Google Analytics to monitor traffic, user behavior, and conversions. This data provided valuable insights into how visitors interacted with the website and helped us identify areas for improvement.
Social Media Insights: We regularly reviewed the performance of social media campaigns using built-in analytics tools on Instagram and Facebook. This data allowed us to refine content strategies and increase engagement.
Monthly Reporting: We provided Wangshi China Palace with detailed monthly reports that included key performance metrics, such as website traffic growth, social media engagement, and lead generation. These reports helped the client see the direct impact of our efforts.
Client Goals & Challenges:
Wangshi China Palace had several key objectives:
Boost Local Search Visibility: The restaurant wanted to ensure that it appeared in local searches for Chinese food, restaurants, and dining options in their region. This was critical to attracting new customers and increasing foot traffic.
Optimized Google Business Profile (GBP): While Wangshi China Palace had a GBP, it lacked optimization and didn’t fully showcase the restaurant’s offerings, including menu items, photos, or customer reviews.
Enhance Social Media Presence: The restaurant wanted to better showcase their unique dining experience on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, engaging with potential customers and increasing brand awareness.
Website Redesign & Development: Their existing website was outdated and didn’t reflect the restaurant’s premium offerings. The client wanted a modern, visually appealing, and mobile-friendly website that was easy to navigate and aligned with their brand.
