Assessment 2: Online Media Campaign

Client Overview

That includes, but is not limited to, pizza, pastas, traditional sides, and alcoholic beverages. Restaurant owners, Mario Tolardo and Franco Tambasco’s substantial experience operating within the restaurant industry reflect their ability to go above and beyond in satisfying their consumers (Spritz n.d.). Spritz’s mission statement tells (Spritz n.d.):

“The spirit that makes people spontaneously come together and enjoy each other’s company”

Located in Mount Hawthorn (approximately 10 minutes from Perth CBD), Spritz’s strategic business units are identified as:

1. Online ordering-pick up
2. Catering services
3. Take-away menu
4. Vegetarian menu

Spritz’s unique selling points are identified as:

1. Outdoor terrace seating area
2. Central, accessible location
3. Family-friendly dining
4. Multiple ordering and contact methods

Spritz’s active strategic marketing efforts are currently limited. However, their various owned media channels, website, Instagram, and Facebook are effective to give online consumers key information regarding their brand. That is, opening hours, restaurant updates, ordering methods, contacts, and various still images of the restaurant’s operations. This relative information exposed on their online channels appeals to their time-conscious, convenience valued consumers. Spritz’s are rated 4.7 stars by 1 105 reviewers on Google, emulating a reputable presence. Likewise, their Instagram and Facebook are supported by 5 835 and 8 100 followers, respectively.

Upon analysing their website’s SEO, the SEO audit revealed their SEO score to be 74% optimized, below the average score of 78% (refer to figure 1.) (SEO Site Checkup n.d). Key issues identified per this audit were the slow speed of loading main webpage contents, lack of meta. descriptions, and lack of keywords (such as: online order, takeaway, or menu) in their HTML tags (SEO Site Checkup n.d). Therefore, collating these issues alongside the attentiveness of their other online channels, Spritz’s online channels are limited in visibility and reach, directing attention for methods to increase their website traffic.
