Food Marketing & Web Design That Builds Cravings and Customers

It’s not enough to look good—you need to show up when people search. We help food brands climb the rankings and stand out online and offline.

Leaving Money on the Table?

You’ve perfected your menu or product—but now you need people to actually find it. That’s where most food businesses struggle. The industry is crowded, online competition is fierce, and word-of-mouth only goes so far. If your food business isn’t showing up online, it’s easy to get overlooked—no matter how good your offering is. Do any of these hit home:

At Zeal Media, we help food businesses fix these gaps so you get discovered, get clicks, and get customers.

Food Marketing Strategies

Restaurant Website Design Built for Cravings, Clicks & Conversions

Your food deserves more than a generic website. We design restaurant and food business websites that capture your vibe, showcase your menu, and get customers through the door. Whether you’re plating fine dining dishes or grilling in a food truck, we’ll craft a site that reflects your personality and makes it easy for hungry visitors to take action—browse your menu, book a table, order online, or find your location.

Mobile-friendly? Absolutely. Easy to update? You bet. Need online ordering or a promo banner for your weekend brunch special? Done. With Zeal Media, your website won’t just look amazing—it’ll become your hardest-working employee.

Menu Integration

Let customers view your latest offerings with beautifully formatted, mobile-friendly menus. Whether daily specials or tasting menus, we’ll make your food easy to browse and crave.

Online Reservations

We’ll integrate easy-to-use booking tools right into your site so customers can reserve a table in seconds—no calls, no hassle, just more seats filled.

Online Ordering & Delivery

Need takeout or delivery? We’ll connect your site with platforms like DoorDash or set up direct ordering, helping you boost revenue without third-party headaches.

Mobile-First Design

Most food lovers search on their phones—so we design your site to look mouthwatering and work flawlessly on mobile. Fast loading, tap-to-call, scroll-friendly menus, and smooth reservations on any device.

SEO for Restaurants & Food Businesses That Gets You Found Online

When people are craving sushi, brunch, or burgers, they search Google first—not walk around town. If your restaurant isn’t showing up, you’re missing out. Our SEO for restaurants boosts your visibility in local searches, so you appear when nearby diners are ready to eat. From optimizing your website to managing your Google listing, we help turn searches into seatings.

We optimize your Google Business Profile, get you listed on popular review sites, and target location-based keywords so your restaurant shows up in “near me” searches—right when it counts.

Digital Marketing for Restaurants That Targets Hungry Customers

Running a great restaurant is only half the job—getting people through the door is the other half. That’s where our digital marketing for restaurants comes in. From tempting PPC ads to email campaigns that keep regulars coming back, we help your restaurant or café stay top-of-mind (and top-of-search).

Whether you’re promoting a seasonal menu, pushing takeout orders, or filling empty tables mid-week, we create digital strategies that actually move the needle. We’ll make sure your message reaches the right people, at the right time, with mouth-watering results.

PPC Ad Campaigns

Drive instant traffic to your website or online menu with pay-per-click ads that target hungry locals. Whether you're promoting a lunch special or pushing weekend reservations, we’ll help you reach the right people in your area—without wasting your ad spend.

I wish I had met Zeal Media sooner. I just had Zeal Media do a new website for us. We absolutely love what they did with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a website if I already use social media?

Yes. Social media is great, but it’s not enough on its own. Plus, you don’t own the platform. A website gives you full control over your brand, menus, hours, reservations, and SEO—all in one place. People often Google your business before they ever check Instagram or Facebook.

A mix of local SEO, paid ads, and email marketing works really well. SEO helps people find you on Google, ads drive quick traffic for events or promos, and email keeps your regulars coming back. It’s all about visibility and repeat customers.

Absolutely. We can integrate third-party platforms (like OpenTable, Resy, or your POS system) or build in simple booking/order forms directly on your site. We’ll make sure your customers can take action fast—on any device.

Yes! We can start with high-quality stock photography relevant to your vibe and cuisine. Then, as you gather real photos of your food and space, we’ll update your site. If needed, we can even guide a local photo shoot to help you get the visuals you need.

Food marketing is all about appealing to the senses—especially visually—and building trust with potential diners. It involves different platforms, creative strategies, and customer behavior than other industries. We know how to market food so it looks as good online as it tastes in person.

Not at all. We also help cafés, bakeries, meal prep companies, food trucks, caterers, and packaged food brands. If food is your business, we can help you grow it.

Yes! We work with food businesses across Canada and the U.S. Everything can be done remotely, and we’ll still give you hands-on support and a strategy tailored to your local market.
