The two-tap test
Someone hears about your café and pulls out their phone. If they can't find your menu, hours and photos in two taps, a chunk of them simply go where they can. A clean one-page site with the essentials passes the test instantly.
Google Maps is your shop window
Most café discovery happens on Maps. A Business Profile linked to a real website — with the menu, dietary options and your best photos — ranks better and converts better than a profile linked to nothing. The site and the map listing feed each other.
Beyond footfall
A site quietly grows the other revenue lines: cake orders for birthdays, hamper pre-orders at Christmas, a 'book the back room' form, even a simple loyalty signup. None of that fits on a chalkboard.
Key takeaways
- ✓Menu + hours + photos, findable in 2 taps
- ✓Maps listing + website rank better together
- ✓Pre-orders and bookings = revenue beyond tables
