Our approach to food and drink SEO
No two Go Up marketing campaigns are the same. However, we follow the steps below to get the most out of our partnerships:
Initial Consultation
The first step in every potential partnership is an initial consultation. This allows us to get to know each other and establish the brand’s goals for a campaign.
Whether via email, a phone or video call or an in-person meeting,every consultation is free and confidential.
We’ll spend time studying their brief so we can learn more about the brand and what’s important to it, with the aim of getting the campaign underway as soon as possible.
Research & Analysis
Go Up takes pride in the in-depth research we undertake into each one of our clients’ businesses, target audiences and search landscapes. Being aware of the bigger picture is essential in SEO.
From comprehensive website audits to detailed consumer behaviour analysis, we extract hard data to remove any potential barriers to growth and understand how potential customers are searching for a client’s product or service online.
All of this enables us to create the most effective, results-oriented campaign for our food and drink clients.
Implementation & Refinement
Our extensive use of data enables us to assess things like content performance and changes in user behaviour, allowing us to adapt the campaign if needed.
Even if we do achieve good results and improve visibility for relevant search terms, it doesn’t mean that our work is over. We’ll regularly assess how users interact with a given page to determine if there are any further opportunities to improve user journey and touchpoints to generate sales.
Put simply, resting on our laurels isn’t something we entertain at Go Up.
Why should you choose Go Up?
Complacency is the enemy of success, something that is no more true than in the world of search engine optimisation. This is a trap Go Up will never fall into.
The algorithms that control how search engines work don’t stay the same for long, and certainly never wait for agencies to catch up. At Go Up, however, a genuine interest in search marketing means that we always stay ahead of the curve to the benefit of our clients.
Combine this with our excellent communication practices that help to demystify SEO, and — of course — our team’s love and knowledge of everything food and drink, and that’s why we’re so popular with brands within the industry.
Food & Drink SEO FAQs

To do so, we will immerse ourselves in your brand, getting under the skin of your values and vision, as well your audience and industry. This allows us to develop bespoke strategies that are aligned to your exact needs and actively contribute to your growth.
Our relationship certainly isn’t one way, however, and we strive to foster a collaborative environment where your insights and expertise are highly valued. By combining your industry insights with our digital expertise, we can deliver the best results for your business.
Are there any food and drink companies you won’t work with?
Go Up is committed to sustainability and bringing about changes that help save our planet. Consequently, we aim to work with green innovators and those supporting other good causes.
This ethos means that, unfortunately, we do not work with food and drink companies that are heavily involved in the meat industry or actively employ or promote unsustainable practices generally.
How much do food and drink SEO campaigns cost?
How much an ecommerce food brand like yours should spend on SEO depends on various factors, such as your existing website performance, how competitive your sub-sector is, and the exact results you want to achieve.
What we can assure you is that Go Up will help you keep SEO costs as low as possible. Don’t just take our word for it though. Feel free to contact us for a complimentary consultation, during which we can provide you with an estimated cost range.
