How it works
You can use all of these tools which are included in your monthly fee.
Your Website Optimised for Google
Search Engine Optimisation is the process of presenting your website in the most favourable way to search engines such as Bing and Google. We take care of all the technical work for you, including meta tags & titles, so you don't need to worry any of it. The only thing you need to worry about is writing some great text about your business.
Your Website Optimised for iPhones & iPads
This is no longer a feature that's nice to have - it's a must have. We are finding that every month, the percentage of people looking for restaurants, take aways and cafes is increasing from mobile devices.
We looked at the data for one of our very successful websites and found some interesting information. 20% of visitors to the website were using mobile devices. We believe that most of these people are out looking for somewhere to eat. If your website doesn't work for these people, you are missing out on customers.

While we are at it, we found the following information. A lot of our customers had websites with really nice Flash animations, but today, less than 60% of people visiting this website had Flash installed. Flash is not available on iPhones and iPads, and is not installed by default on new Macs and Windows machines. IF YOU HAVE FLASH ELEMENTS ON YOUR WEBSITE, YOU ARE CUTTING OUT 40% OF YOUR CUSTOMERS. Now that isn't very Flash!
Facebook and Twitter Integration
Reaching out to your customers on socials networks such as Facebook and Twitter has never been easier. Marketing 4 Restaurants lets you link to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, so you can update both with your latest deals, offers and events in one easy place.

Automatic Birthday campaigns
When your customers sign up on your website to receive your newsletters or promotional emails, they have the option to enter their birthday. If enabled, your website will automatically send out a special birthday promotional email to your customers in the month prior to their birthday.
