The shop is full, two people are waiting at the counter and your phone keeps buzzing between customers: "can you keep me a kilo of mince?", "do you have ribs for Sunday?", "I'd like to order a lamb for Saturday's christening". You answer what you can, jot two things down in the notebook, forget one... and close at midday with the uncomfortable feeling that one of those orders got lost along the way. It's not that you're short of customers: it's that orders arrive through channels you can't deal with while serving. And meanwhile, anyone searching "butcher near me" or "buy meat online" in your town finds a big supermarket or a delivery app before they find you. The problem isn't the competition: it's that people can't find you. ## What a customer looks for before ordering Before calling or messaging you, almost everyone wants to see the same things: - **Real fresh produce**: photos of your counter and your products, not stock images. - **Clear prices** for the week: chops, mince, chicken, cold meats, prepared dishes. If the price isn't there, many don't ask: they go to the supermarket. - **Being able to place an order without calling**: choose products, note quantities and pick it up when it suits them, even at eleven at night. - **Knowing whether you deliver** and which area you cover. - **Seeing the prepared dishes and trays** (croquettes, empanadillas, meatballs, slow-cooked beef cheek, lasagne): more and more people buy ready-made food at the butcher's. - **Where you are and what your opening hours are**, with public holidays and days off up to date. - **Reviews from local customers**, worth more than any advert. - **How to pay and how to collect the order**, so nobody has to make a wasted trip. ## The sections that fill the counter - **Home page** with two clear things: a "place your order" button and a real photo of your produce. - **Catalogue with prices**: a selection of the main items (meat, cold meats, prepared foods) and the rest under "ask us". - **Online orders** with in-store collection or delivery, connected to your real opening hours. - **Prepared dishes and trays** for celebrations: the shop window of the fastest-growing part of the business. - **Hampers and bundles**: Christmas, summer, barbecues, boxes of cold meats. - **About the business**: years, family, where the meat comes from and what makes it different. - **Google reviews** on show, which also push your listing up in searches. - **FAQs**: minimum orders, lead times, payment methods, delivery. - **Legal notice and privacy**, which also builds trust. What you don't need: an online shop shipping across the whole country if your business lives off the neighbourhood, a blog nobody is going to write, or twenty sections nobody reads. ## Before and after: from the notebook to confirmed orders Before: orders written down in a notebook, in your personal WhatsApp and in your head; customers calling just when you're serving; orders lost because nobody answered in time; and promotions that depend on someone walking through the door. After: the customer comes in, sees your produce and your prices, leaves their order with a name and phone number; you receive it neatly, with what they want and when they need it; you organise the deliveries with time to spare; and WhatsApp stops being a chaotic appointment book and goes back to being just another channel. The customer list — with phone number and email, given with consent — lets you announce the offer of the day or the order of the week, without depending on people walking past your window. ## Mistakes we see when a butcher shop orders its website - **Not having a website** and relying only on the phone and word of mouth. - **Hiding prices** "so they ask": what you get is that they don't ask, they go to the supermarket. - **Stock photos** of perfect steaks that aren't yours: people notice and it breaks trust. - **Not allowing orders outside opening hours**, just when people remember: at night or on Sunday. - **Not explaining how delivery works** or which area you cover. - **Not asking for contact details with consent**: without your own list, you start from scratch every week. - **Neglecting your Google listing and reviews**, which is the first thing anyone searching "butcher near me" sees. - **A desktop-only website**, when almost everyone searches and orders from their phone. - **Not standing out from the supermarket**: the personal service, the cut to your taste, the prepared dishes and where the product comes from are your advantage, and the website has to show it. ## What Google looks at in your area Google wants to answer well to "butcher near me", "buy meat online in [your city]" or "butcher open now", and for that it uses your Google Business Profile listing, your reviews and your website. The listing handles opening hours, photos and reviews; your website handles the rest: products, prices, orders and delivery. If you want to go deeper, the blog has a [Google Business Profile guide](/blog/en/google-business-profile-guia) and an article on [websites for bakeries and pastry shops](/blog/en/web-para-pastelerias-y-panaderias) that shares much of this strategy. ## From the notebook to confirmed orders A butcher shop or delicatessen doesn't need a huge website: it needs anyone looking for meat in your area to find you, see your produce and your prices effortlessly and be able to leave their order in under a minute, at any hour. That's the website that fills the counter without depending on the phone ringing. The good news: you don't need to spend a fortune or wait months. You can have your website with the catalogue, the orders and the prepared dishes in a few days.
