Arlington Heights is packed with Italian spots — Francesca’s Tavola, Passero, Bar Salotto. Standing out takes more than good food.
02
The kitchen delivered every night — the digital presence didn’t reflect it. The feed didn’t sell the experience.
03
Reservations leaned on walk-ins and word of mouth, not new diners discovering Toscana on Google.
We built a topic-cluster SEO architecture around the dishes people actually search — homemade pasta, veal marsala, frutti di mare — optimized the Google Business Profile, and added schema so Google knows exactly what Toscana is.

A full content overhaul — professional dish photography, scroll-stopping reels, interior storytelling, and a consistent visual identity. Same kitchen, a completely different first impression.
