Everyone promises “Google page 1”. Almost nobody shows their numbers. Here is a real, verifiable case with raw Google Search Console data — checked on 5 July 2026.
The starting point
Kalamaki Trouba, a souvlaki restaurant in Piraeus (Greece). Before May 2026: no website, no Google presence beyond its listing. Site launched: 11 May 2026.
The results, 8 weeks later (Search Console, 5 July 2026)
- 6,071 Google impressions in 8 weeks — the site didn’t exist before 11 May (Search Console’s 90-day window, but everything happened since launch).
- Average position: 4.2 on Google.gr — page one.
- Its own name: position 1.5.
- And the generic searches — typed by customers who don’t know the place yet:
- “Best souvlaki in Piraeus”: page 1 — position 1 on the exact variant, 3.7 on the most-typed one (145 impressions)
- “Souvlaki Piraeus”: page 1 — position 1.5 to 2.6 depending on the variant
- “Souvlaki near me”: page 1 — position 2.6 to 3.4
- “Souvlaki Piraeus open now”: position 2.8
A restaurant that shows up the moment someone nearby is hungry — that’s local SEO that actually pays.
The method (nothing magic, everything rigorous)
- A seriously fast site — PageSpeed 100: Google favours what loads instantly, and customers stay.
- Clean local SEO from day one: crafted titles and descriptions, restaurant structured data (JSON-LD), sitemap submitted to Search Console.
- A menu in 12 languages — Piraeus is a tourist port: every visitor reads the menu in their language, and Google sees it.
- An optimised Google Business profile linked to the site.
- Zero ads, zero bought backlinks. Just technical work and real content.
What we promise — and what we don’t
Your name on Google page 1: verified across our active clients, we stand by it. The generic searches of your trade (”… near me”, “best … in …”): we go after them with the same method — Kalamaki earned them, every market has its own competition, and nobody honest can “guarantee” a generic ranking. The difference: we show you the data.
