Following the loss of the legacy bucadibeppo.com domain due to a corporate acquisition, Vizion was engaged to rebuild Buca di Beppo’s organic foundation on a brand-new domain, dineatbuca.com. With more than 25 years of historical search equity unavailable for transfer, Vizion adopted a local-first strategy designed to drive immediate visibility and engagement at the restaurant level.

Vizion secured and optimized control of Google Business Profiles across locations, updating URLs, descriptions, imagery, and completeness to ensure brand accuracy and improve engagement. Additional digital properties were audited and aligned to maintain consistent business information across the restaurant discovery ecosystem.

A comprehensive backlink audit of the legacy domain was conducted to identify historical link acquisition patterns. These insights informed a new link-building strategy focused on reclaiming brand authority and supporting the new domain’s growth.

The website architecture was restructured to create a scalable and consolidated location footprint, improving local relevance and discoverability. Custom plugins were developed to dynamically ingest menu data via partner APIs, ensuring website menus remained synchronized with operational updates. Vizion also collaborated with third-party platforms to keep menu data accurate across Google Business Profiles.

To improve user experience and conversion paths, Vizion leveraged Microsoft Clarity insights to refine site navigation, location naming conventions, and calls to action—reducing friction in restaurant discovery and driving stronger engagement.

Results

Despite launching on a brand-new domain with no historical authority, Buca di Beppo experienced rapid growth in organic performance and local engagement—ultimately surpassing results from the legacy site.

When comparing the final full month of performance on the old domain (September 2024) to September 2025 for the same restaurant locations, Buca di Beppo achieved:

36% more Google organic sessions
32% more “Get Directions” clicks via Google Business Profiles
309% more “Bookings” clicks via Google Business Profiles

With additional enhancements planned for 2026, Buca di Beppo is well positioned for continued growth and sustained local visibility across its national restaurant footprint.
