Tactical playbook

  • Build a matrix of event type × guest count × cuisine and pick 5–7 combinations to own
  • Audit OpenTable, Resy, and EventUp listings to find underserved niches
  • Publish one anchor page per combination: service + photo gallery + booking details
  • Wire each niche page into a sibling cluster with 3+ internal links to related offerings
  • Refresh the matrix bi-annually as event trends and seasonal demand shift
