Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) For Food And Beverage
(F&B) Companies In Singapore
===>::<===
SEO can play a great part for B2C food and beverage (F&B) companies in Singapore. By sharpening your
SEO strategy to be at the top pages of Google for critical keywords, you can reach your target audience.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) allows you to gain traffic and potential customers online. With the
surge of mobile usage, more customers are simply looking for information online. A simple Google
search is all it takes for you to find your favourite food in Jurong, or your favourite laksa in Katong. But
how are you going to capitalise on this? Answer is SEO.
What constitutes a good SEO strategy? Our previous blog on what SEO is about talks briefly about the
overview of SEO.
To F&B company owners or marketing managers reading this, I would like to share some factors that
you can use to effectively manage your SEO campaigns. They can be classified under 4 main categories:

Keywords
Below is a list of categories of keywords you can start planning to get ranked for:
1. Geographical keywords
Although Singapore is small geographically, keywords related to the location of your business can be
helpful. For example, appearing on the first page of Google for “best places to eat in Jurong” or “best
eateries in Katong” can bring specific, targeted customers to a particular F&B restaurant.
Such keywords may not have high traffic, but they are targeted — there are people, tourists or local
alike searching for answers to these keywords. Being able to optimise for such geographical keyword
can help F&B businesses get more customers to patronise their restaurants.
2. Niche keywords
Whether you are a strictly vegetarian restaurant or a coffee gourmet company, you can use niche
keywords describing your F&B business as a starting point. When people search for places to eat within
your particular niche, they tend to type in the niche you are in.
For example, “vegetarian restaurant Singapore” or “coffee place in Singapore”. Combined with
geographical keywords, you have “Vegetarian restaurant in Tanjong Pagar” or “Coffee place in Jurong”.
Such niche keywords may have very small traffic, but you can be sure they can bring in high quality
customers — those who are looking specifically for your type of F&B restaurant.
Optimising your content in your website according to your particular niche can be crucial for healthy
SEO development. You can start building your brand name in related niche forums (such as the best cafe
in Jurong) and blogs (top 10 vegetarian restaurant at Novena) to attract sizeable potential customers
coming to your site monthly.
3. Brand-related Keywords
One of the easiest way, for most companies, to quickly boost their SEO presence is to optimise their
company name and build up brand awareness. For example, ABC cafe can quickly build up their SEO
presence by focusing on optimising their name “ABC”. Brand names are unique most of the time and
can be easy to optimise — there is little to no competition you will face when ranking top for your brand
name.

Case Study
A screenshot is shown below showing how many searches there are for the particular keywords:
As shown in Google Adword keyword planner, business owners are consistently missing out heavily on
these potential clients. Combined with geographical, niche-related and brand related keywords, a
business can gain significant amount of traction from this online stream of customers.
This is massive amounts of profits F&B businesses are losing unknowingly each month. Efficient F&B
businesses knows how to harness these potential traffic and convert them into lifetime clients as they
understand the immense value of the lifetime customers.
There are various SEO strategies, on-site SEO as well as off-page SEO. Check out our blogs for more

Link building strategies
Link building refers to the practice of getting your pages listed in other web masters’ websites, and as a
result, creating a link back to your listed page — this link is known as a “backlink”.
Linking Building In Social Bookmarking Sites
For instance, there could be forums or other social media platforms that are ranked for keywords “best
places to eat in Singapore”.
One such site is TripAdvisor, that can send many valuable clients to your business.
Linking Building In Forums
Another way to drive significant traffic to your site is to make yourself visible in various forums. An
example shown below is Hardware Zone, a Singapore-focused forum where users constantly share their
thoughts and suggestions with one another.
Notice the amount of traffic it is generating — which can be very significant for a new F&B business.
Linking Building Using PR
Using PR and forums for link building in SEO can bring significant customers to their business. Successful
websites such as http://www.foodprocessing-technology.com/press have thousands of traffic a month
which can potentially drive customers, partners or suppliers to your company. This can be a good way to
build credible and powerful brand awareness.
Content
Content marketing is an important factor crucial to your SEO efforts. Google places heavy emphasis on
content. In fact, they determine most sites almost entirely by content as it tells Google what you are
about. There are 2 aspects of content — content creation and content dissemination.
1. Content Creation
Constantly producing contents allows google to know what your site is about. All content on your web
pages must be well-written, and readable for human. This has to be emphasised as Google’s algorithm
focuses greatly on user-engagement i.e. how the traffic is interacting with your pages. User engagement
is a litmus test for how relevant and valuable your content is to Google.
User behaviour tells Google about your pages: Do users leave after landing on just one page of your
web? If so, it tells Google either your page is highly unreadable or that your page does not provide what
users are looking for, hence pulling down your ranking for a particular keyword.
There are other factors beside words that can play a critical role in your SEO. Having more images and
videos that can capture attention and providing valuable information will ultimately help you in the
Google ranking as well.
2. Content Dissemination
There are various ways of distributing your contents after you are done creating them. We will study
them in-depth in our content marketing blog, but for now, here are a few ways you can use content
dissemination to your advantage to bring more traffic and customers into your funnel:
a. Guest posting
b. Blogging
c. Social media marketing

Optimisation
Optimisation is another critical area where Google will look at to determine your SEO ranking. It can be
split into 2 way: on-page optimisation and off-page optimisation.
