The short version
Bombay Chaat & Paan, an Indian street food brand in Montreal, partnered with Popnest Media for a 12-month local SEO and content program across Montreal, Ottawa, and Saskatoon. The results: 1,843 top-3 keyword rankings, +412% search impressions, +356% search clicks, and +278% unique keywords indexed, year over year.
A Montreal favorite was invisible online. We rebuilt their SEO foundation, launched a multi-city local strategy, and turned their social feed into a content engine. The result: 1,843 top-3 keyword rankings and a complete digital transformation.
Bombay Chaat & Paan built a loyal in-person following across Montreal with sizzling frankies, tangy chaats, and handcrafted paan that captured the energy of Mumbai street food. But while the crowds came in person, their digital presence was lagging: an under-optimized website, a neglected Google Business Profile, no coherent content strategy. The buzz on the street was not reaching new customers searching for Indian food in Montreal, Ottawa, or Saskatoon. When they expanded to 3 cities, they needed a search-first strategy built for the AI era.
Rebuilt the website with proper schema markup, Core Web Vitals optimization, and city-specific landing pages for Montreal, Ottawa, and Saskatoon. Optimized Google Business Profile across all 3 locations.
Launched a culturally resonant video series and dish-focused content campaigns. Built topical authority around Indian street food, chaats, frankies, and paan, in 3 languages.
Synced SEO content with Instagram, Facebook, and Google Posts. Every blog became a content pillar; every social post fed back into local search signals.
Location-specific SEO delivered consistent top-3 visibility across Ottawa, Saskatoon, and Montreal, with branded and non-branded queries both lifting in parallel.
The content-led approach (blog articles, GBP posts, schema markup) positioned Bombay Chaat & Paan as a trusted authority in Indian street food, with over 1,843 top-3 keyword rankings inside the engagement window.
Integrated SEO + social expanded their digital footprint across Canada, attracting new audiences in emerging markets beyond their Montreal home base.
