King of the Wings — site hero

The brief

Twelve years of awards. Second at Wingfest Buffalo. Top 3 wings in Australia. None of it on the website — because the website was a rented FoodHub ordering template.

The problem

The old site took 54 seconds to become usable on a phone, had no catering page, no locations, no founder story, no schema, and a canonical tag pointing at a URL that didn't exist. Every catering enquiry typed into Google was going to a competitor.

How we approached it.

  1. 01

    Custom build with the trophy cabinet, the founder story and the two anchor venues all above the fold

  2. 02

    Dedicated catering page — three packages, a five-field quote form, 24-hour response promise

  3. 03

    Where-We-Are page with anchor venues, trading hours, Google Maps links, JSON-LD location schema, and a weekly pop-up slot read from a JSON file the owner can update from a phone

  4. 04

    Full SEO rebuild — schema on every page, correct canonicals, OG images, sitemap, robots

  5. 05

    Sticky mobile bottom bar (Order · Where · Catering) — three taps to the three actions that matter

Key improvements

What changed on the site — and why it converts.

01

Risks the old site was actively creating

The live FoodHub template was bleeding revenue every day it stayed up. Here's what it was losing.

  • 54-second mobile load — most visitors gone before the page painted
  • No catering page at all — every 'food truck catering Brisbane' search lost to Big Roddy's or WingHAÜS
  • Zero locations on the site — 'where are you this week?' still being asked in Facebook DMs every day
  • Twelve years of awards invisible — the strongest trophy cabinet in the Brisbane market, hidden behind a generic template
  • Catering page's canonical pointed at a URL that didn't exist — quietly killing whatever rank it could earn
  • No Open Graph image — every Facebook, WhatsApp and iMessage share rendered a blank preview box
02

What this means for the business

Each change is tied to a commercial outcome the owner already cares about.

  • Mobile load 6× faster → the majority of mobile visitors the old site was losing now stick around long enough to tap Order
  • Dedicated /catering/ page → competes head-on for the highest-margin search in the category
  • Trading hours, Maps links and structured data → fewer wasted trips, fewer 'are you open?' DMs, picked up by Google's Knowledge Panel
  • Awards strip on the homepage → the conversion lever none of WingHAÜS, Big Roddy's or KaiKai can match
  • Founder story told → press, sponsors and catering buyers finally have something to work with
  • Clean SEO foundation (schema, sitemap, canonicals, OG, robots) → organic traffic compounds month over month instead of flatlining
