"Your friend mentions to you that she’s disappointed with her website’s performance in the search engines. The site isn’t ranking well and she doesn’t know why. It’s a comment you hear a lot, but you’re surprised to hear it from her. Her restaurant, Providence, is one of the hottest places to dine in Los Angeles.
Of course, your friend is a restaurant owner, not a web marketer, but still... with great press and a huge clientele, shouldn't the website be doing well without much of an effort from the restaurant management? You decide to investigate, using your SEO skills."
