Corporate clients choosing caterers they find on Google
Businesses booking regular catering pick whoever looks most professional online. If that's not you, those recurring contracts go elsewhere.
Delicious food but not enough reviews to prove it

Event planners search for local caterers on Google. A buried listing means lost bookings.
