Wattz Web Design & Marketing Proposal · 2026

Brick&Baia

Two beloved restaurants. One ownership group. A web presence built to match the quality of the food — and engineered to get found by every guest searching in Calvert County.

“We've been doing some testing on Google to see how our websites are performing, and exploring options that are more SEO-focused to help grow our business and improve our visibility online.

We heard you — and we're glad you're thinking about it.

Both restaurants already do the hard part beautifully: the wood-fired cooking, the bay views, the local sourcing, the service that earns top-two local rankings. The food and the rooms are not the problem.

The gap is everything that happens before a guest walks in — the moment someone in Prince Frederick or Chesapeake Beach pulls out their phone and types “best dinner near me.” That's a search problem and a website problem, and it's exactly what we fix.

This proposal lays out a two-part path: refreshed, on-brand websites for both restaurants, and an optional local-growth engine that turns Google searches into reservations. Take the first step, both, or one restaurant at a time.

An honest look at both websites

We audited brickwfb.com and baiacoastal.com the way Google does — and the way a hungry guest does. Here's what's working, and where reservations are quietly slipping away.

Brick Wood Fired Bistro Prince Frederick
Wood-Fired · New American
#2 of 54 restaurants locally
What's working
Strong reputation — wood-fired identity, local sourcing, rooftop herb garden
Online ordering & reservations already wired through Toast
Where it's losing guests
Thin on-page SEO — little keyword-targeted copy for Google to rank
Duplicate / bloated code slowing the page and confusing crawlers
No map / directions or local schema markup
Generic look doesn't carry the “all about that fire” character
Baia Coastal Italian Kitchen Chesapeake Beach
Coastal Italian · Wine Bar
4.9 on OpenTable · 600+ diners
What's working
Stunning concept — coastal Italian, bay views, rooftop deck, wine bar
Clean coastal palette and clear menu structure
Where it's losing guests
Almost no homepage content for Google to index or rank
Broken “2026” links and an obfuscated contact email hurting trust
The bay views — your biggest asset — aren't the hero of the page
No cross-link between the two sister restaurants

How Google sees you right now

You asked how things are performing on Google. Here's the public picture — and it tells a clear story: your reputation is excellent everywhere except the one profile that feeds the map pack and “near me” searches.

Brick

Google Business Profile
4.1
Google ratingThe score most guests check first
778 OpenTable reviews 1,547 Facebook · 94% rec. #2 of 54 on TripAdvisor

The opportunity: your Google rating is trailing your true reputation — the number new guests judge you on is your weakest. Reviews aren't being actively requested or responded to, and that's fixable fast.

Baia

Google Business Profile
4.4
Google rating · 245 reviewsStrong score, thin volume
4.9 on OpenTable · 600 diners 4.5 on TripAdvisor

The opportunity: a newer profile with great scores but far too few Google reviews for your traffic. Hundreds of happy guests a month, only 245 reviews — that's enormous untapped headroom on the platform that matters most.

What we can't see from the outside — and why that's step one

The public stars are only half the story. The real performance data — how many people find each profile, tap to call, request directions, view your photos, and what they searched to land on you — lives inside your Google Business dashboard. Getting access, setting a baseline, and reporting on it monthly is the very first thing we set up. You'll finally see what your testing has been hinting at.

One family of brands, two distinct experiences

Guests should feel the connection between Brick and Baia — and instantly know which mood they're in. We design them as a matched set: shared quality, separate souls.

01

Distinct, on-brand

Brick leans into warmth, smoke and ember. Baia into water, light and the bay. Each site finally looks as good as the room feels.

02

Built to be found

Every page is structured for local search — fast, mobile-first, schema-marked, and rich with the words real guests type into Google.

03

Engineered to convert

Reservations, online orders and gift cards are never more than one tap away — on the phone, where most restaurant searches happen.

Phase 1 · The Core

Sites that earn the first impression

A full redesign of both brickwfb.com and baiacoastal.com — modern, fast, and unmistakably yours. Built on a clean, SEO-ready foundation we fully own and control.

Brand-true design

A bespoke look for each restaurant — Brick's fire-forward warmth, Baia's coastal light — using your real photography and logos.

Mobile-first & fast

Loads in under two seconds, looks flawless on every phone — the device most of your guests are actually using.

Reservations & ordering front-and-center

Toast ordering, reservations, and gift cards surfaced on every page, with clear, high-contrast calls to action.

Menus done right

Beautiful, readable, easily-updatable menus — brunch, happy hour, kids, dessert — structured so Google can read every dish.

SEO foundation baked in

Clean code, proper headings, local business schema, fast hosting, maps, and keyword-rich copy from day one.

Sister-brand connection

Each site elegantly cross-promotes the other — turning one happy guest into two reservations.

Phase 2 · Optional Growth Engine

The part you asked about: getting found

A redesign makes you look great. This is what makes you show up. A focused, month-over-month program to own local search across Calvert County — for both restaurants.

Google Business Profile domination

Fully optimize both Google profiles — categories, attributes, photos, menus, Q&A, and weekly posts. This is the single biggest lever for “near me” restaurant searches and the map pack.

Map pack rankingWeekly postsPhoto strategy

Local keyword & on-page SEO

Target the exact phrases guests search — “wood fired pizza Prince Frederick,” “waterfront Italian Chesapeake Beach,” “Sunday brunch Calvert County” — and build the pages and copy to rank for them.

Keyword researchLanding pagesSchema markup

Reviews & reputation engine

Turn your already-great reviews into a growth flywheel — automated review requests, fast response management, and putting that social proof to work on the sites. This is exactly how Brick's 4.1 climbs and Baia's volume grows.

Review generationResponse management

Citations & directory consistency

Lock down your name, address and phone across Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Apple Maps, Bing and dozens of directories — fixing the inconsistencies that quietly suppress local rankings.

NAP cleanup50+ directories

Content & seasonal campaigns

Events, specials, brunch, happy hour, holidays — a steady drumbeat of content that feeds both SEO and your social channels, and gives guests a reason to come back.

Monthly contentSeasonal pushes

Tracking & monthly reporting

You asked how the sites are “performing” — we'll show you, in plain English. Rankings, traffic, calls, direction requests and reservations, in a simple monthly report.

What local search is really worth

Restaurant discovery is overwhelmingly local and mobile. A few numbers on why showing up — at the moment of hunger — moves the needle.

You already know how I work

You don't need a faceless agency in another state running your local search. You need someone who knows Calvert County, knows both restaurants, and answers the phone.

I already know Brick & Baia

No ramp-up, no re-explaining your brand. I understand the fire-and-bay story and the people behind both rooms.

Local, not outsourced

Your competitors' “SEO companies” are call centers. I'm one call away and I treat your visibility like my own.

Design + marketing together

Most shops do one or the other. Building the sites and running the growth from one hand means nothing falls through the cracks.

Proof, not promises

Plain-English monthly reporting tied to the metrics that matter — calls, directions, reservations — not vanity numbers.
