A family wants to order a seafood platter for a celebration and doesn't know who to ask. And a neighbourhood restaurant looks every morning for someone to supply fresh sea bass and prawns, with an invoice and at the time the kitchen opens. All three go through Google before reaching your counter. If you don't show up, they buy wherever someone answers. And it's almost never the big supermarket: it's the fishmonger across the street — the one that had its opening hours one click away, the one that takes orders on WhatsApp, or the one that posted today's catch. Your fishmonger's lives off two things nobody can copy: the fresh fish that arrives every morning and the years you've spent advising what to buy and how to cook it. A good website multiplies both. ## Two customers, two ways of searching for you (and one website for both) The neighbourhood customer searches daily: what came in today, what the kilo costs, whether you open on Saturdays, whether you still have sea bass at midday. When the celebration comes —a family meal, a special dinner, a birthday— the question changes: who prepares the platter, how much to order for ten people and whether there's time to pick it up on Friday. Hospitality works differently: daily or weekly orders, delivery at a set time, invoicing at the end of the month, prices that don't give shocks and availability of the species on their menu. When a supplier doesn't answer one morning, they stop being a supplier that week. And that decision is often made after looking at their website. The same website can serve both: a section for restaurants buying by the box and a clear display for whoever walks in with a short list. ## What someone arriving at your website wants to know - **Today's catch**: what's come in, where from and at what price. Freshness is your number-one argument and almost no fishmonger says it in writing. - **Real opening hours, early mornings and holidays included**: "are you open on Saturday?", "are you open on the holiday?" and "until what time can I come?" are the most repeated questions. - **Pre-orders and platters for celebrations**: seafood, prepared dishes, orders for special dates. Whoever can order without calling, orders; whoever can't runs the risk of going without your platter. - **Orders by WhatsApp or form**: with a photo or a list, and confirmation of pick-up or delivery. - **Cleaning and preparation**: "I'll clean it", "sliced", "boneless". A service that sets you apart and that almost nobody advertises on their website. - **Delivery or pick-up point**: if you deliver to homes or prepare orders for collection, it has to be visible before they try elsewhere. - **Reviews and real photos**: the counter on ice, the day's catch, the team. Trust is your advantage over the big supermarket. - **Frictionless contact**: phone, WhatsApp and a form, answered the same day. ## The pages that turn a search into an order - **A shop-window homepage with today's catch**: like the counter, but available at eleven at night. Updatable from your website's panel whenever you like. - **A pre-orders and celebrations page**: seafood platters, prepared dishes, orders for special dates. It's the page that turns a search into a booking with a name and a phone number. - **A page for restaurants and hospitality**: daily delivery, invoicing, available species and trade prices. It's the page that makes hospitality come back, just as we see with [butchers and delis](/blog/en/web-para-carnicerias-y-charcuterias) and [restaurants](/blog/en/web-para-restaurantes-como-llenar-mesas): whoever buys for a business returns where the order and the paperwork are sorted out. - **Recipes and guides**: how to cook seafood, how to clean a sea bass, how much fish to allow per person. They bring in locals looking for help and set you apart from the supermarket. - **A spotless store listing**: opening hours, phone, directions and an always-current "open now". - **An up-to-date Google Business Profile**: hours, recent photos and reviews. It's the doorway for almost every "near me" search. ## Before and after: from paper to eleven at night Before: the phone never stops with questions you'd answer on your own; orders get written on paper that sometimes gets lost; the restaurant that can't get an answer finds a supplier with one call; and whoever searches "seafood home delivery" doesn't even know you exist. After: today's catch and the guides answer the repeated questions; pre-orders come in through the website and you prepare them when you can do it properly; hospitality comes back because delivery and invoicing are clear; and the neighbour who has just moved into the area finds you before setting foot on the street. ## Mistakes we see on fishmongers' websites - **Depending only on Instagram or Facebook**: today you're seen by whoever already follows you; tomorrow, by whoever the platform decides. The search engine and the customer have to find you on your own ground. - **Stock photos**: a sea bass from an image bank doesn't sell your fish. Real photos of the counter, even phone ones, work much better. - **Outdated opening hours**: an "open" when you're closed annoys people more than not appearing at all. - **Not saying how to order**: if the customer can't find in ten seconds how to order a platter, they order it somewhere else. - **Forgetting hospitality**: publishing only for the walk-in customer means giving up half the business. - **Not mobile-friendly**: most "fishmonger open" searches happen on a phone, in a hurry. If it's slow or hard to read, you lose the visit. ## What Google looks at when someone searches "fishmonger near me" Google combines three things: your Google Business Profile listing, the reviews from locals and the pages of your website that explain what fish you sell, when you open and who you work for, with your city's name in the text. The clearer all of it is, the more often you'll show up at the exact moment someone needs fresh fish for today. ## The website that takes orders while you fillet There's no need to give up the counter: it's your best asset. But a website that shows today's catch, the opening hours and how to order also works at eleven at night, answers the same thing a hundred times without tiring and turns the restaurant that can't wait into one more order of the day. And you don't need to spend much or wait months: you can have your website with a daily display, a pre-orders page and a section for hospitality in a few days.
