The challenge: A beloved brand, invisible where it mattered
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.
