Why fewer inquiries come in

It isn't your food. Event planning starts with searching and comparing, often months ahead. That's fixable.

  • Venue lists control who gets asked

    If you're not on a venue's preferred list, you never hear about the event — and those lists change without warning.

  • Ads are rent

    Wedding and corporate clicks are expensive, and inquiries stop the day the budget does.

  • Planners compare quietly online

    They read menus, look at photos and ask AI who caters events of their size before they contact anyone.

The fix isn't spending more on ads. It's becoming the caterer Google and AI recommend in your area.

How customers find a caterer now

When someone in your area plans an event, they look in four places, often months ahead. Each one decides who to show using signals you can build.

  1. 1. Google Map Pack

    The map results. Google weighs relevance, distance and prominence, so the caterer category, an accurate service area, event photos and steady reviews matter most.

  2. 2. Google AI Overviews

    The AI summary at the top of the results. It answers questions like “how much does catering cost per person” or “how far ahead should I book” from clear pages, so honest planning guidance gives it something to quote.

  3. 3. AI assistants

    ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot. Planners ask things like “Who caters weddings near me for about 100 guests?” These tools name caterers with consistent listings, real reviews and clear facts about event types, menus and dietary options.

  4. 4. Regular Google results

    Websites and menu pages. Pages for weddings, corporate lunches, drop-off catering, buffets and dietary menus — plus the venues and areas you serve — match exactly how planners search.

What shapes demand here

  • Wedding inquiries cluster in winter and early spring for summer dates, and corporate catering peaks around the holidays.

Example

Customer asks an AI assistant:

“Who caters weddings near me for about 100 guests?”

The kind of answer you want:

“A well-reviewed option is Your Business Name. Event planners mention food that tasted as good as the tasting and staff who handled everything calmly.”

What we build for you

Two things do the heavy lifting: showing up on Google, and being the name AI recommends.

SEO for caterers

Your Google Business Profile, a service page for every booking you want more of (wedding catering, corporate & office catering, drop-off & tray catering, buffet & plated service and more), local area pages, and steady review growth.

AI visibility

We structure your business information so AI tools understand, trust and recommend you: clear business facts, FAQ content, consistent citations, reviews and schema markup.

Everything else, same team

Website and landing pages

Fast, modern pages built to turn visitors into calls.

  • Social media management

    Regular posts that keep your profiles active and your name in front of locals.

  • Mobile app with an AI assistant

    Your own app, with a chat assistant trained on your business information.

  • Ads management (optional)

    Want to run ads too? We manage them — the ad spend is yours.

Jadeed's fee starts only after the customer pays

$0 upfront. No retainer. You pay only after the customer pays.

We only get paid after the customer pays for a booking we brought in. So we have no reason to sell you extras, and every reason to fill your tables and your calendar.

Pay per confirmed booking — details in your audit.

Every business in this industry counts a booking differently, so we agree what counts and what it costs with you before anything goes live. There's no setup fee, no retainer and no minimum monthly payment either way. Catering searches are planned and specific — wedding, corporate, per-head — which makes them easier to win than general restaurant searches.

What counts as a confirmed booking

An event booking that's completed and paid — the exact unit is agreed with you in the audit. Calls, leads, clicks and quotes cost you nothing.

How we track it

A shared record of each customer — lead, contacted, booked, completed, paid — is the normal reference, so both sides see the same jobs. You mark what happened; your confirmation is the report. If your operation needs another method, we agree it in writing before launch.

The fine print, in plain words

  • 6-month initial term, then month to month. Either side can end the partnership with 30 days' written notice after the initial term; the signed agreement covers early termination for breach.
  • You only pay for things in your own name, like your domain (about $12/year).
  • You own your domain, website and accounts.

From handshake to phone ringing

Clear steps, honest timing. We build fast; Google and AI take a little longer to catch up.

    Growth compounds

    More searches and AI answers where you show up, more customers, more completed, paid bookings.

A note on apps: Mobile apps with an AI assistant take longer, up to about 3 months including app-store publishing, because we train the assistant on your business information.

One caterer per territory

During an active exclusive partnership, we generally don't work with another caterer in the same agreed territory. Your territory can be a service radius around your area, a cluster of ZIP codes or, where it fits, the city itself — agreed in writing when we sign. If another caterer covers different ZIP codes, there's no conflict.

One caterer per agreed territory. If your area is taken, we'll tell you straight away.

Why we can work with $0 upfront

You work with a small team you can name: Sameer Ahmad Basra leads the strategy and local search, Aqeel Ahmad works on websites and conversion, Asad Waqas builds follow-up and automation, Asad Ali runs paid campaigns and Abdullah Amjad researches each industry. No account managers, no handoffs.

We work remotely from Pakistan for US businesses. Lean overhead and modern, low-cost infrastructure are what let us build your system first and earn only when you get paid. Your domain, website and accounts stay in your name.
