Driving £467K in additional revenue for a national Mexican restaurant group through SEO

Listen to article

This leading Mexican restaurant and bar group partnered with Sierra Six Media to elevate its organic presence nationwide. The goal was clear: to increase visibility for key promotional offers and local restaurant searches while improving the volume and quality of online bookings. By targeting high-value keywords and optimising promotional pages, the campaign increased online bookings and non-branded traffic, delivering a £467K revenue uplift.

The Challenge

The brand had strong awareness but was overly reliant on branded traffic and seasonal campaigns. With promotional offers like Bottomless Brunch and 2-for-1 Cocktails driving most conversions, the objective was to capture non-branded search demand and boost visibility across both national and local search landscapes.

Our challenge was to:

  • Drive consistent non-branded traffic to key landing pages.
  • Improve visibility across Google Maps and city-level restaurant searches.
  • Convert more organic visitors into bookings and event enquiries.

 

The Strategy

Sierra Six Media delivered a comprehensive SEO strategy designed to expand reach and enhance performance across multiple locations. This included:

  • Keyword optimisation for high-value, non-branded promotional terms.
  • Local SEO campaigns to strengthen Google Business Profile performance and city-specific rankings.
  • On-page optimisation across key restaurant and promotional landing pages.
  • Data-led refinement, using behavioural insights to improve user journeys and booking rates.

 

The Results

The campaign produced measurable commercial growth:

  • +£467K additional revenue from increased bookings within six months.
  • +121% uplift in bookings across promotional pages, including Bottomless Brunch and 2-for-1 Cocktails.
  • +9,500 non-branded keyword rankings within Google’s top 10 pages.
  • +338 new page-one rankings for non-branded terms.
  • +12K monthly increase in non-branded traffic (from 3% to 7% share).
  • In a pilot local SEO test, the Liverpool location page moved from unranked to page one for a 27K monthly search term within two months.
  • Liverpool GMB listing also rose from 16th to 3rd place for “Mexican restaurant Liverpool.”

 

Summary

By aligning technical SEO with commercial goals, Sierra Six Media helped the brand capture new audiences, boost conversions, and generate a six-figure revenue increase, all while strengthening its long-term search visibility.
