In the ‘Success Stories’ series by localsearch, digital partner to SMEs in Switzerland, Luis Nunes explains how he is attracting more online bookings and guests with a new website.
In the heart of Sion, the Arlequin restaurant and bar has quickly become a fixture on the local dining scene. From the outset, the team led by owner Luis Nunes focused on establishing a professional online presence, which was achieved with digital solutions from localsearch.
Arlequin Bar is one of the leading restaurant bars in Sion
To quickly raise awareness, the Arlequin team commissioned localsearch to develop a new website and optimise its online presence. Guests can now easily find the restaurant on Google and other search engines, make reservations directly and share their positive experiences in reviews. The success can be clearly quantified: the Arlequin Bar has seen an increase of around a quarter in the number of guests and has established itself as one of the leading restaurant bars in Sion.
“When we opened Arlequin in 2022, we were new to the Sion restaurant scene. localsearch helped us to become more visible. Today, people know us: they search for us, make reservations online, and recommend us to others. We feel this success every day,” says Luis Nunes.
Targeted online strategy with localsearch brings in more guests
Close cooperation between Arlequin and localsearch has resulted in a digital presence that is tailored to the needs of the restaurant business. In addition to the website, targeted online measures ensure that potential guests can find the restaurant bar quickly and make bookings easily.
‘This example clearly shows how a clear digital strategy can help SMEs get ahead in a short space of time,’ emphasises the localsearch team. Luis Nunes and his staff now have the freedom to focus entirely on the guest experience in the restaurant and bar.
