The client

A neighbourhood institution,
hidden from Google.

Maison Durand has been serving the 11th arrondissement since 1997. Chef Thomas Durand inherited the restaurant from his father and has built a loyal clientele through word of mouth alone.

When Thomas came to Rankxi, his site was a 2012-era WordPress installation scoring 23 on PageSpeed Mobile. He was invisible to the thousands of people searching for "bistro Paris 11" every month — while newer, inferior restaurants ranked above him.

We rebuilt the entire digital presence in 12 days. The result: a site that loads in under 1.2 seconds, ranks #1 for his core keyword, and has reduced his reliance on TheFork commissions by nearly half.
