Overview
A bilingual, phone-first website, Google Maps presence and local SEO for a bacaro on Fondamenta dei Ormesini.
The challenge
Most of Bar Pumba's guests decide where to go while walking through Cannaregio with a phone in hand. They choose in seconds, based on what Google Maps, a quick search or an Instagram tag tells them. The bar needed every one of those touchpoints to show the same accurate information, in the guest's language, and to lead straight to the door.
Our approach
We treated Google, the website and Instagram as one journey instead of three separate jobs. Address, map pin, hours, phone and menu live in a single place in the code and feed both the pages and the structured data, and the Google Business Profile was aligned with the same details so nothing drifts apart.
What we built
- 01Phone-first design with a fixed action bar: Menu · Directions · WhatsApp · Call
- 02English and Italian versions, with the visitor's language detected and remembered
- 03Full menu with prices, opening hours, directions and a dedicated aperitivo page
- 04Google Business Profile details and the exact map pin aligned with the website
- 05Local-SEO structured data for the bar, menu and FAQ, plus hreflang, sitemap and social previews
- 06Instagram linked into the journey, with consistent name and location
- 07Google Maps loads only when a visitor asks for it, with no third-party requests before that
- 08Fast pages that work on any phone or browser, with proper 404s
The outcome
We don't publish ranking or traffic claims without data to back them. What we can show is the work itself, live at barpumba.com.
